Maybe you also want

(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)

We already have that:

(setq org-goto-max-level 10)
(setq org-goto-interface 'outline-path-completion)

The use the key `C-c C-j'.

Right now this uses te outline-path-completion of refile,
if you want the vanilla refile interface, I would have to make a few
small changes.

I wrote it, but this shouldn't be the part of Org, because it's a
hack and I don't want to deal with copyright papers either
for such a trivial package (I've written it in half an hour, so
it's not very hard to reimplement it).

It's a hack, because it should not use occur at all. Occur is
line oriented and the search should be able to treat an org
headline and its text as a single entity when searching.

So it should be reimplemented from the ground up properly with the
same dynamic interface, so that results are shown immediately as the
user is typing, but it should be able to support the same boolean
logic as org-search-view, so one can make intelligent searches with
it.


For example, +dog +wag should find headings like this

* the usual behavior of dogs

they wag their tails


And the search output should show the matching heading and below
that that part of the text which is matching and if possible it
should color the matches (like in the occur output), so in the
above case it would show something like this (with _ indicating
coloring):

* the usual behavior of _dogs_
they _wag_ their tails


That's the version org should have included.

So sorry, I thought it was answered.  Use the C-u (universal prefix)
to `org-refile', i.e. C-u C-c C-w.

Yes, this is what I had in mind.

Okay, that's fine.  But doesn't the fact that a user didn't know he
could navigate with org-refile speak laudly for refactoring it into
its own key-stroke?

The audience of org-mode is growing larger than just emacs hackers or
even emacs users, as I hear of people coming to Emacs just for
org-mode all the time.  So this universal arg bolt-on for such an
important piece of functionality should be up for discussion.

The same also for the whole set of all agenda files similar to "C-c a

You can write a little wrapper and set a special value for the refile targets:

(defun my-goto-with-refile ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((org-refile-targets '((nil . (:maxlevel . 10)
(org-refile t)))

THis is how this happened, historically.

Without actually refiling?  How do you do that?

[O] headline navigation and refiling.

[Le Wang]

Hi all,

I like using the org-refile interface to navigate.  It's very
intuitive to me.  But I want to navigate to headlines deeper than my
org-refile-target :max-level.  Is there anything to do other than
rolling my own?  I can see wouldn't be hard.

It feels headline navigation was just bolted onto org-refile.  Should
they really be the same command?
