Shouldn't org-back-to-heading skip inline tasks ?

Shouldn't org-back-to-heading skip inline tasks ?

[Marc Ihm]

Hi,

recently I have been surprised by the fact, that org-back-to-heading (or 
outline-back-to-heading, for that matter) does stop at inline tasks,
as can be tried easily with this org-snippet:


* foo

*************** Inline
*************** END

M-x org-back-to-heading


In my opinion, the cursor should go straight up to the heading foo 
instead of stopping at the inlinetask.

To fix this behaviour, one could insert a modified version of
org-back-to-heading right into org-inlinetask.el like this:


(defun org-back-to-heading ()
   "Move to previous heading, skipping over inlinetasks."
   (let (prev)
     (save-excursion
       (end-of-line)
       (while (and (setq prev (re-search-backward org-outline-regexp-bol 
nil t))
                   (>= (outline-level) org-inlinetask-min-level))))
     (if prev
         (goto-char prev)
       (error (error "Before first headline at position %d in buffer %s"
                     (point) (current-buffer))))))


which does not yet accept an optional invisible-ok argument, however.

Would this be a useful change ?


Best regards,

Use `org-with-limited-levels' macro to ignore inlinetasks, e.g.:

  (org-with-limited-levels (org-back-to-heading))

This is how Org somewhat handles inlinetasks.

/me closes the can of worms.
