I am trying to turn my Org-mode into Workflowy-like experience. An interesting thing in Workflowy is that it allows for indefinite depth of headings, where you frequently zoom-in to subtrees. In Org-mode this is inelegant.
Suppose I have a tree:
* a
** aa
*** aaa
**** aaaa
*** aab
** ab
** ac
* b
** ba
If I want to narrow to entry called aaa
, I get:
Instead I want to get is:
Imagine what would happen if I have an entry 10 levels deep. Narrowing is supposed to be "concentrating on a local context, ignoring all outside of it", so why do I retain information that it's 10 levels deep? And also it's just noise.
So I'm thinking, narrow-indent
could be generalized to include Org-mode too, where it removes stars before narrowing and puts them back before widening.
I need this feature, so I'll possibly try to implement it soon independently, although can't promise anything. But I would like to discuss it here. Also, maybe this could develop into some smart-narrow
concept further.
