Hi Carsten,
I find that commit 11baa7cf77245cc2a5f44dd55e034157896ad08d (which
changes the behavior of M-left and M-right) makes it impossible to
promote and demote headlines in a region.[1]
In the past, if I marked a region of folded headlines and used M-left or
M-right, org-mode would promote/demote all the headlines in the region.
Now, it simply throws the following error:
"Hidden subtree, open with TAB or use subtree command
M-S-<left>/<right>"
The problem: When the region is active, M-S-<left>/<right> (as in the
past) only moves a single subtree, so AFAICT there is currently no way
to promote/demote all headings in a region.
While I appreciate the new safeguard for single outline headings, IMO
the check is irrelevant when attempting to act on headlines in a region,
since (1) the user chooses to move an entire region and (2) the hidden
headlines are normally included in the region.
Here's a patch that skips the check if the region is active:
