I'm always looking for a faster way to move around my org buffers, so

so:

 (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:maxlevel . 2

And then tried using C-u C-c C-w to move around.  Unfortunately, it's
not very practical for moving around since if you want to move  
somewhere

in the same tree you get this error:

 Cannot refile to position inside the tree or region


This is just a bug.  Fixed now.



It would really be neat if there was a way to jump to a specific
heading, no matter how deep, by just typing a few key strokes.  Right
now, I'm using C-s to do this, but the idea of having auto- 
completion is

compelling.



This is what org-goto is for.  You can select the interface
to be used with the variable org-goto-interface.  Set it to
outline-path-completion and it will work like refiling.
You can configure the maximum depth for this command
with org-goto-max-level.




How about something like this:

1. Using a key binding, you enter a movement mode (ido, mini-buffer)

2. You select the first level heading you want (just like C-c C-w)

3. Point moves to the heading you selected

4. You are prompted for a second level heading

5. Either choose a heading, or do C-g to stay where you are

6. Continue until you get where you want to be


It will not work like this, but I think, in the end, you
would find that what you propose might feel slow again.
I believe you get the fatest interface by using

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

and using ido for doing the completion on the full path.

The main difference between org-goto and calling org-refile
with a prefix argument is that the former always gives you
all headings to a certain depth in the current file, while
the latter offer a selection of important headings in
potentially many files.

I believe that many people only use the refile interface,
and then have both agenda targets, and current file targets
configured in org-refile-targets.




Does that sound interesting to anyone?  If so, I could put together
something for us to play with.

Excellent.  I had tried org-goto before, but didn't know about the
org-goto-interface variable.  This is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks Carsten.
