Hello, This minor bug had been bothering me for a while and I eventually got to looking into the source code for it.
As of current master, C-u C-c C-q doesn't work as in the doc-string i.e. "When optional argument ALL is non-nil, align all tags in the visible part of the buffer.". Here's an example Org buffer: ===== * Foo :abc: ** Bar :def: ===== - With point on Foo heading, C-u C-c C-q aligns only :def: tag (tags from *next* heading onwards). - So when point is on Bar, no tags get aligned. Though I remember that C-u C-c C-q worked quite some time back. A commit in Apr 28, 2018 broke that behavior in https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/1615261cdc5da6dbe50176d7958c775d6d54411e#diff-f9a90d66b3053f60bd4e8d63f214273067d0d28L14288 . While I don't understand that entire commit, this simple fix brings back the true C-u C-c C-q behavior: diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el index db3c11b5f..b8daa3bfc 100644 --- a/lisp/org.el +++ b/lisp/org.el @@ -14203,8 +14203,10 @@ visible part of the buffer." (org--align-tags-here (funcall get-indent-column)) (save-excursion (if all + (progn + (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-tag-line-re nil t) - (org--align-tags-here (funcall get-indent-column))) + (org--align-tags-here (funcall get-indent-column)))) (org-back-to-heading t) (org--align-tags-here (funcall get-indent-column))))))) If this looks good, I can commit this to maint and master. Thanks. -- Kaushal Modi
