Hi Nicolas,

Thankyou for your reply. Sorry I didn't explain myself properly. When using org-cycle (TAB) I often only want to open  an entry (headline) to its CHILDREN visibility state, look at the subheadings (sub-entry headlines), and then fold it back into its FOLDED state. Often these sub-entries will have an appreciable amount of contents in them. So to go from the CHILDREN state to the FOLDED state I have to press TAB twice which causes a large amount of content to appear momentarily on screen. This experience is unpleasant and distracting, so much so that I am actively trying to find a way to simply org-cycle straight from the CHILDREN state to the FOLDED state. My patch demonstrates one possible way of realising this.

Cheers,

Matthew Palermo
