It's just so much easier, because you get a big window with all the potential completions listed, and then it narrows down the list as you type. You can type any part of any word anywhere in any item, and it will narrow down to that item. The default Emacs completion is like stumbling around in the dark, by comparison. Ivy is another good completion package, but it doesn't do nearly as much (which some people prefer). Anyway, if you install Helm, just run helm-mode, and then try org-refile. I think you'll like it. > Is the heading (file name) completion syntax explained anywhere in the > documentation? If so, I missed it big time. LOL Check out the variable org-refile-use-outline-path. It's nil by default, but by setting it to 'file, it puts the filename first.
