Killing org hyperlinks with one key

Killing org hyperlinks with one key

[Alexandros Prekates]

Trying to kill an org link+description i found that that can happen
only after calling org-toggle-link-display . I guess you cant kill
what you can see after all. 

Has been implemented a function that will automaticaly toggle the
link under the point (or marked) , kill it and then toggle again?

That's how it look complete:
[[LINK][DESCRIPTION]]

And Org by default displays only the Description part.
So i'd like a function to kill the complete hyperlink while
it's not visible completely.

Yes, but how does it look in its original context?

One can't write a function without it ...

But you can do it yourself ... use `kill-new' and
`thing-at-point',

  (kill-new (thing-at-point 'url t))

Lousy that Org cannot do this already!

In the original context , if i understand you, it looks
as simple text with a different face and underlined.

Thanks for the idea of using thing-at-point.

I'm also checking Invisible Text .

Here is the fuction that toggleis org links display:
(defun org-toggle-link-display ()
  "Toggle the literal or descriptive display of links."
  (interactive)
  (if org-link-descriptive (remove-from-invisibility-spec '(org-link))
    (add-to-invisibility-spec '(org-link)))
  (org-restart-font-lock)
  (setq org-link-descriptive (not org-link-descriptive)))

buffer-invisibility-spec seems to hold invisible text.


Alexandros.

Maybe you don't need that if it's part of the interface.

But you do right to examine the source, that's what you do at
this point, see how they do to extract it.

Maybe that's a property as well somewhere, the URL?
