Hello.
In section "2.3.1 Global and local cycling" of the manual I read:
`<TAB>' (`org-cycle')
_Subtree cycling_: Rotate current subtree among the states
,-> FOLDED -> CHILDREN -> SUBTREE --.
'-----------------------------------'
The cursor must be on a headline for this to work(1). When the
cursor is at the beginning of the buffer and the first line is not
a headline, then <TAB> actually runs global cycling (see
below)(2).
with the footnote being
(2) see the option `org-cycle-global-at-bob'.
If I use Org Mode without any customization, then, when using <TAB>
"When the cursor is at the beginning of the buffer and the first line
is not a headline", absolutely nothing is done.
Sure, this is consistent with the help page of variable
org-cycle-global-at-bob which says that "When this option is nil,
don't do anything special at the beginning of the buffer", together
with the fact that, without any customization, org-cycle-global-at-bob
is 'nil'.
But I find this very confusing, at least for the beginner, who is
unlikely to enquire right away about the possible values of
org-cycle-global-at-bob.
Or perhaps I am missing something at the English level?
Regards,
alain
