"collapse the outline to the level at point" seems helpful to me!
Using "0" as speed key I end up with:
;; Outline level durch speedcommand setzen
;; "0": collapse the outline to the level at point
(setq org-use-speed-commands t)
(setq org-speed-commands-user
'(("0" . (org-shifttab (org-outline-level)))
("1" . (org-shifttab 1))
("2" . (org-shifttab 2))
("3" . (org-shifttab 3))
("4" . (org-shifttab 4))
("5" . (org-shifttab 5))))
Thanks!
Rainer
