[Orgmode] beginner tries to convert to org-mode
Hi, I'm just starting to use org-mode. As an user of vimoutliner I'm somewhat new to emacs, too. :) Therefore it's most probably not org-mode's fault but mine. The question: Following the documentation I try the structure editing commands. M-Ret works just fine, as does C-Ret. But all promoting or demoting commands do not work as advertised. I get i.e. ESC S-right undefined etc. ESC-S centers next paragraph. Nice but unexpected for me. ;-) My .emacs ;; The following lines are always needed. Choose your own keys. (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org\\' . org-mode)) (global-set-key \C-cl 'org-store-link) (global-set-key \C-ca 'org-agenda) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) ; org-mode buffers only and emacs invoked as emacs -q -l .emacs If important: OpenSuse 10.2 , emacs 22.1.1 and org-mode 5-13e Where is my obvious fault?

But all promoting or demoting commands do not work as advertised. I get i.e. ESC S-right undefined etc. Alt-S-right seems to work for me while Esc-S-right just beeps. Perhaps that and this excerpt from emacs info will help to clear things up? Another Emacs character-set extension is additional modifier bits. Only one modifier bit is commonly used; it is called Meta. Every character has a Meta variant; examples include `Meta-a' (normally written `M-a', for short), `M-A' (not the same character as `M-a', but those two characters normally have the same meaning in Emacs), `M-RET', and `M-C-a'. For reasons of tradition, we usually write `C-M-a' rather than `M-C-a'; logically speaking, the order in which the modifier keys CTRL and META are mentioned does not matter. Some terminals have a META key, and allow you to type Meta characters by holding this key down. Thus, `Meta-a' is typed by holding down META and pressing `a'. The META key works much like the SHIFT key. Such a key is not always labeled META, however, as this function is often a special option for a key with some other primary purpose. Sometimes it is labeled ALT or EDIT; on a Sun keyboard, it may have a diamond on it. If there is no META key, you can still type Meta characters using two-character sequences starting with ESC. Thus, you can enter `M-a' by typing `ESC a'. You can enter `C-M-a' by typing `ESC C-a'. ESC is allowed on terminals with META keys, too, in case you have formed a habit of using it. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Nice but unexpected for me. ;-) Although ESC can usually be used as a synonym for Meta, this is not always true. In particular, you can't combine ESC with shifted arrow keys. You have to use Meta-Shift-right (all keys at once), where Meta may actually be labelled as Alt or (heavens forbid) the Windows key on your keyboard. And the S in S-right is not the letter S, it is the shift key... I'm assuming you are running emacs graphically, not inside a terminal.
