[Orgmode] feature request: C-k safety

Re: [Orgmode] feature request: C-k safety
Scott, You asked: Feature request: add an option preventing tree deletion with C-k without user confirmation. Actually, I'd like an option to prevent it period. If this option is already in there, then you're encouraged to tell me to RTFM. But then also please tell me where it is, because I can't find it. In the FAQ, you can find this: (setq org-special-ctrl-k t) before losing your work. It's a clever compromise, though I suspect it doesn't give as much protection as you want. Here's what it does. From the docstring: When t, the following will happen while the cursor is in the headline: - When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the line. - When in the middle of the headline text, kill the headline up to the tags. - When after the headline text, kill the tags.
