I suggest this because if you do type after the elipsis, the text goes right on the end of the folded entry, which I believe is undesirable as well; It means that part of the entry is invisible, and part is visible. Limiting the cursor would solve both problems. Is this even feasible? Regards, -Anthony ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Well, that may be technically correct, but from a UI point of view it isn't. We're still one the same (head)_line_, no?

Re: [Orgmode] possible bug: TAB after elipsis
In my limited experience, I have already encountered this and been
surprised. I can see it both ways:
- On one hand: technically, the lead up of asterisks and the actual text
define the headline itself, as Carsten has pointed out.
- On the other hand, from a user standpoint I think it would be convenient.
I am not well versed in my keyboard-shortcut-fu, but I'm practicing and use
M-a/e a bit. One of the reasons this behavior is a bit annoying is that M-a
leads one to the spot /after/ an ellipsis. From there I want to press tab
and see the headline... but no dice. I admit that I can begin to use the
shortcuts specifically for navigating headlines. Learning a little at a time
and so currently I don't.
Anyway, my vote goes to expand it, even if technically the cursor is after
the 'body' since the 'body' is represented by the ellipsis. I think once it
is folded it serves only as a representation of the headline, not anything
useful having to do with actual folded text anymore.
