Preferred Key Mappings for Navigation
by Noel Henson

Rate this Message:
All,
It is time for feedback on navigation and heading-move key mappings. Here are the functions that need to be mapped, as I see them so far. Please add your own suggestions. This is meant to be a starting point for discussion. Navigation move cursor to top-level parent move cursor to parent move cursor to previous sibling move cursor to next sibling move cursor to last child Object Movement move tree under cursor up one line move tree under cursor down one line promote tree under cursor demote tree under cursor move heading under cursor up one line move heading under cursor down one line promote heading under cursor demote heading under cursor Thoughts?

This happens mostly when I'm creating a new outline or editing an outline created from one of my many outline templates. Perhaps I use outlines differently than others. I don't just document what I'm thinking. I use the outline as a thinking aid.

Vim's so good the way it is I see no reason for any of the preceding movement commands. zc>> and zc<< demote and promote. Tree or individual heading movement up and down is just a matter of cut and paste. I'll admit that "move tree past next sibling reduces the likelihood of errors, but it's practical only for small moves, so I'm not so sure it should comsume a ,, command.
