Emacs outline-mode has a plethora of such specific commands, and exposes all of them as user interface. Org prides itself to have compressed that entire functionality into the TAB and S-TAB commands. You specific example, org-show-subtree is basically TAB TAB on a closed tree. SO yes, there are lots such commands, but I am no sure it would be good to expose them in the manual. - Carsten > > Thanks
