Re: [O] org-speed-commands-default 1 2 3
Thanks, Tom. I see that indeed the functionality is there. But I still find the speed keys much less awkward than giving a numeric argument. For instance, my gtd file as around 100 level 2 headings that I wish to navigate and they are grouped across 5 level 1 headings. I can jump from the middle of one group to another with 1hh2n. With numeric arguments this would be: C-1 S-TAB C-p C-p C-2 S-TAB C-n. With speed bindings, I'm not even moving my fingers - I just have the left hand on 123 and the right hand on hn. Anyway, to each his own:) regards, Oleh On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 12:35 AM, Tom Davey tda...@gmail.com wrote: Olen writes: Level 2 is very useful - and cannot, unlike Level 1, be reached by S-TAB.
