Table of Contents in an extra buffer?

Table of Contents in an extra buffer?

[Karl Maihofer]

Wouldn't it be useful to have a table of contents in an extra buffer  
to move around quickly in huge org-files as it is possible in  
LaTeX-files with RefTeX?

For me this is a feature that would make Org an even better authoring tool.

Bastien has implemented this in org-toc.el which is a contributed  
package.

Perfekt! Thanks a lot!

I just tried it today, and it works great.  Does anyone know how to
get it to use an existing buffer beside my longfile.org buffer.  As
implemented it seems to only want to open a new buffer below the text,
and, on quitting or jumping to a heading, leaves me without my
original vertical split.

I use imenu for this.

Speedbar works too.

Sometimes I still use my own `speedbar in same frame' (which works on
console too).



For both, add this line to your setup:


   (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'imenu-add-menubar-index)
