Re: Necessity of `org-fill-paragraph'
Dear Nicolas! Thank you for your fast reply! I now use a custom =org-unfill-toggle= which does the same as =unfill-toggle= but uses =org-fill-paragraph=. It just took me a while to see where the problem lies! For cases like these, it would be advantageous if major modes could redefine certain functions. Like =fill-paragraph= in this case. Instead, they usually (have to?) rebind the keys...

You could detect if you're in an Org document beforehand. `org-fill-paragraph' obeys to `fill-column'. > Is it necessary to have the specialized function =org-fill-paragraph=? Is it > possible to use the canonical =fill-paragraph=? There is `fill-paragraph-function', but it only kicks when no region is selected. Using it would break region filling. There is also `fill-forward-paragraph-function', but I think it is too limited. In a nutshell, I didn't find any way to fill correctly Org documents using `fill-paragraph' mechanism. So I wrote the current implementation of `org-fill-paragraph', which is a wrapper around `org-fill-element'. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
Necessity of `org-fill-paragraph'
Hello, I am using a global keybinding for =M-q=, so that I can fill and unfill paragraphs with one key stroke (unfill.el): : (global-set-key (kbd "s-q") 'unfill-toggle) For a long time, I thought that =fill-paragraph= was broken in Org mode, because it doesn't work well on code blocks, on lists, and on many other things [1]. Just now, I realized that Org mode uses a specialized version of `fill-paragraph`, called `org-fill-paragraph`. Hence, the aforementioned global key binding breaks behavior in Org mode, although the function =unfill-toggle= is just a wrapper around =fill-paragraph=. Is it necessary to have the specialized function =org-fill-paragraph=? Is it possible to use the canonical =fill-paragraph=? Thanks, Dominik [1] https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/13384
