Re: three bugs/misfeatures in org-reveal (or is org-reveal the wrong way to reveal around point?)

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

thanks for clarifying.  that seems to eliminate all possibility of
specifying canonical visibility using org show variables.

thus, this is a feature that is strangely missing in org, as opposed
to a bug.  [yet it is what i think would be a good default for
newcomers.]

canonical visibility roughly means a visibility state that can be
created at any time using org-cycle and arrow keys.

for example, if only the first child is showing, then it is not
canonical visibility.  the only things that should NOT show are
entirely folded headers, blocks, etc.

this is the only kind of visibility that i ever use unless i am doing
a sparse tree, which is extremely rare.

the lack of ability to specify canonical visibility is the  reason i
have spent many years trying to fix it.  i have actually have now
around-defadviced the isearch version of org-show-context, but i don't
know what i am doing and it is slow and there are other contexts that
need fixing.  i think i will have to eliminate org-show-context
entirely if i am to get canonical visibility.
