Paste subtree without expanding it / keep it collapsed after pasting

Paste subtree without expanding it / keep it collapsed after pasting

Hi list,

I often copy an item and its whole subtree to move them around, I know I
can move them with the move commands, but sometimes it's faster to just
copy, paste and fix the leveling later.

I can copy or cut a collapsed subtree and it will copy everything below it
until it ends (and the next item at the same level starts), which is
intuitive and works great. However, when pasting it, it automatically
expands the tree and it makes it really hard to see the context so I can
fix the leveling, for example.

Is there a way to paste the subtree [and keep it] collapsed?

Thanks in advance!

I’m not able to trigger that behavior using the default configuration.
Here’s what I tried on both master and maint using the file below.

With point on the aa1 heading (collapsed), I pressed ‘C-c @’ followed by
‘C-w’.  I then moved point under the b heading and hit ‘C-y’.  aa1
stayed collapsed after it was yanked.

Does that sequence accurately reflect the scenario you’re describing?
