[O] One-keystroke command to move blocks of text up and down
I use Meta-up-arrow and Meta-down-arrow to move headings in org and entries in spreadsheets. Would like to be able to use the same or similar command to move blocks of text up or down. The current solution--highlight then kill/yank--is just too slow. Suggestions?

Each of these sentences is a paragraph because it has a carriage return after it. I need to re-order the sentence/paragraphs into correct order. ** Journal This is paragraph three. This is paragraph two. This is paragraph one. ** Other Heading

Hmmm S-M- should be the ticket but doesn't work for me. Assume this is SHIFT-ALT (held down together) up arrow. Also tried SHIFT-ESC up. temp.org Description: Binary data
[O] M-S-(down-arrow) worked briefly this morning and now does not
Hi. I updated my emacs git, got the new org-mode, and tried M-S-UpArrow. And it worked. I was elated. And then I closed the program and re-opened it, and now it no longer works. The message is: This command is active in special context like tables, headlines or items --Susan

Works. My mistake. Thanks for help. Susan

[O] Having trouble with hidestars this morning
Hello. Normally outlines are supposed to start up in hidestars view, which shows one star per level, indented, thusly: * First Level * Second * Third But after compiling both emacs and org-mode from git this morning, and re-installing, my outlines show all the stars, and the stars cannot be turned off. I've tried: #+STARTUP: indent #+STARTUP: hidestars Suggestions? Is there some sort of M-x hidestars command that I might have toggled accidentally?
Re: [O] Having trouble with hidestars this morning
Just a FYI. I got this at this morning's org-mode git compile the following warning at the end. It's probably due to all the settings tinkering I did, and I haven't had time to investigate it, but thought I'd pass it along. org-version: 8.2.1 (release_8.2.1-223-g065627)makeinfo --no-split org.texi -o orgorg.texi:1318: warning: node up `Initial visibility' in menu `Global and local cycling' and in sectioning `Visibility cycling' differorg.texi:1362: warning: node up `Catching invisible edits' in menu `Global and local cycling' and in sectioning `Visibility cycling' differ
[O] Hidestars problem cured in this morning's emacs git
FYI to list. I just downloaded and installed. Hidestars back to good.so compile away!
[O] M-up-arrow no longer moves text up
Hello. I compile both emacs and org-mode daily. Today M-up and M-down have stopped working as a mode of moving a line of plain text up and down. I get this message: command-execute: Wrong type argument: commandp, handle-focus-in The problem may be with emacs rather than with org-mode. I'm having other trouble such as that the ribbon on top (File / Edit / Options / Buffers / Tools / Help) doesn't work either. Susan
Re: [O] M-up-arrow no longer moves text up
I have confirmed that the problem is with the emacs build. Emacs24 works with today's org-mode. --Susan message-- >I compile both emacs and org-mode daily. >Today M-up and M-down have stopped working as a mode of moving a line of plain >text up and down. >The problem may be with emacs rather than with org-mode.

[O] Sh-ALT-RightArrow behavior has changed to demote only first subheader when subheaders collapsed
I noticed that the behavior of SHIFT-ALT-RightArrow has changed when the subheadings are hidden. Before all the subheadings changed at the same level. Now only the heading immediately below it does. See below for my example. This is my ordinary setup for my agenda. However, on the day I am working on, I move the date (Sunday 12 January) out to Level 1, so it comes immediately to my attention. It used to be that I would promote Sunday 12 January to Level 1, and its three subheadings (Agenda, TODO and Journal) would promote also, to Level 2. But now only Agenda does so. ?? Ditto the reverse, to demote. This may be new functionality, or it may be a bug. Please note that I have a today-compiled version of both emacs and org-mode on my machine.

[O] SH-ALT-RightArrow works but not SH-ALT-LeftArrow to uniformly promote subheadings
Bastien, Silly me. I should have checked both directions. So your fix fixed half the problem. Susan
[O] Some desktop managers co-opt C-M-right and C-M-left
Aggghhh. I changed to the Enlightenment desktop manager, changed my underlying distro to Lubuntu (LXDE) Both desktop managers co-opt the C-M-right and -left keys to change desktops. (They also co-opt C-S-right.) Ditto -up and -down. I have tried the following: (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-right") 'org-demote-subtree) (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-left") 'org-promote-subtree) error: C-S- must prefix a single character, not right Have also tried C-M-right, with similar results. Does anyone have an idea? I have two problems. On-line documentation has told me that I can spell out the word "right" to mean "right-arrow," but clearly that is wrong, and there is one letter that does this. ??? My second problem is this: will a command set in .emacs over-ride a command set by my desktop? If it does not, should I try the following, and use the Windows / super key? (global-set-key (kbd "C-s-right") 'org-demote-subtree)
Re: [O] Some desktop managers co-opt C-M-right and C-M-left
I answered my own question. .emacs does not take precedence over my desktop manager. Solution: use Super key, as follows. (global-set-key (kbd "C-s-") 'org-demote-subtree) (global-set-key (kbd "C-s-") 'org-promote-subtree) (global-set-key (kbd "C-s-") 'org-move-subtree-up) (global-set-key (kbd "C-s-") 'org-move-subtree-down)
