The only way I found so far to create a drawer is to actually type the
damn thing in (I'm talking about my own drawers, not the special
drawers that org knows something about). I didn't find any utility
functions to insert drawers (except for :PROPERTIES:), and somewhat to
my surprise, completion does not seem to work for drawer names: I
expected typing a colon and M-TAB would allow me to use drawer names for
completion, but it seems to only care about property keys, even if I'm
not in the context of a :PROPERTIES: drawer. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Nick

For a quick hack, you might try this one:

Nick,
I'd suggest you look at a tool like yas-snippet, which allows template
insertion into any mode of all kinds of text templates. When I do
drawers that follow a regular format, that's what I use.

You can now complete drawer names using M-TAB. It will insert the
drawer name and the ":END:" string.

You know, these are the things I *love* about org-mode and it's community.
Thanks a lot, although I did not ask for the feature,

This is nice. But I think Olaf's patch would still be useful to apply.

And while we're at suggestions, it would be even better if the
`org-insert-drawer' function supported regions.

Meaning it should insert the drawer in every headline in the region?

No. Around the region. If an headline is found within the region, the
function should return an error instead, telling the user that drawers
cannot contain headlines.

Indeed. I applied a slightly enhanced version, supporting
completion and region, as Nicolas just suggested.

The version I just pushed does not handle this kind of problem.
If you think it's worth the trouble, can you have a look at it?
Thanks in advance!

I go to sleep wondering how to do something and I wake up with not one,
but two solutions, both of them newly implemented. Rainer said it best:
I *love* org-mode and its community. Off to try them out...
Thanks!

I've checked the code, and the `org-insert-drawer' is actually not what
I had in mind.
To me, there are really two types of drawers: system drawers and user's
drawers (which I'll simply call "drawers" from now). System drawers
usually go just below the current headline (which is mandatory) and are
inserted automatically by some Org mechanism. Drawers can go anywhere,
even before the first headline, and are usually inserted manually.
Being interactive, `org-insert-drawer' is clearly user-oriented. An user
calling this function will probably want to insert a drawer at point (if
not around region), much less likely to insert a system drawer manually.
Thus, that function shouldn't be used for `org-insert-property-drawer'
internals, which needs to move point back to the headline.
Therefore, I suggest the following draft of a patch, that mostly reverts
commit splitting `org-insert-property-drawer' and makes
`org-insert-drawer' more user friendly. It provides the following
facilities:
- headline inclusion check,
- drawer insertion without requiring an headline above,
- skip trailing blank lines (i.e. to wrap buffer around a just marked
paragraph),
- Ignore system drawer's names in completion list.
What do you think?
Regards,

Indeed. This is an enthusiastic, and enthusiasming crowd! All fueled
by maintainers who not only listen and understand, but are also take
decisions (so things go on, instead of turning into endless debates).
A /special/ place, as youngsters would put it :-).

I think it's good -- thanks for the patch. I just pushed a slightly
modified version of it, adding `C-c C-x d' as a keybinding for
`org-insert-drawer', and adding the possibility to call
`org-insert-property-drawer' from `org-insert-drawer' directly using a
prefix argument. I agree special drawers should not be offered in the
completion table, but it's still using to be able to quickly insert
a property drawer, especially in combination with property completion.
Anyway, I think we moved in the right direction.
Thanks again!
