(More generally it might be possible in principle to mark specific entries and then move the marked entries, like marking files in dired, but that would be kind of complicated in org.) >> ***** org-refile: allow you to enter a new item >> it will create that and refile under it. might need to experiment >> with different interfaces. > > I think this is what remember is for.

If you are on a previously remembered entry called "granny smith", and you want to file under /food/fruit/apple, but apple does not exist (/food/fruit is all that exists), then you could type /food/fruit/apple and org-refile would 1. create apple and 2. put the entry under point underneath apple. At present, org-refile will not let you enter the apple part. Perhaps I am missing something here. > I don't know ido.el, what advantages would it give? You could, for example, type a sequence of letters that appear in that order anywhere in the target, case insensitively, to select an entry. It is thrillingly efficient. Maybe anything.el has a similar mechanism.
