Insert subheading at top respect content

Insert subheading at top respect content

[Nathan Neff]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 558 bytes --]

Hello all,

Something that's eluded me all this time has been an
"Insert subheading, after the content, but before other subheadings"

For example:
If my cursor is anywhere between lines 1 and 4, I would like the subheading
to be inserted at line 5.

1* Heading
:PROPERTIES:...
2 Some content
3 More content
4
5** Subheading 1
6** Subheading 2
7
I know there's org-insert-subheading and C-u which respects content, but
respect-content will insert a subheading at line 7 in the example above.  I
would
like to have a new subheading at line 4.

Thanks,
--Nate

What about C-c C-n M-RET

Thanks Carsten - I created a function:
(defun njn-subheading-respect-content ()
  (interactive "")
  (org-next-visible-heading 1)
  (org-insert-subheading 't)
 )

But I'm trying to find out where to get the "correct" arg
to org-next-visible-heading - I have hard-coded a 1 in the
above example, but this produces the following subheading:

* Heading <-exec when cursor on this heading
Some content about Heading
*** New heading is inserted here (and is the wrong level - should be 2
instead of 3)
** Sub1
** Sub2

I will mess with this function a bit and post if I find a solution.

Thanks,
--Nate

Hi Nate,

What do you mean by passing "the right argument".  Which argument do you
want to pass?

At first, I thought the direct way to fix your function would be

(defun njn-subheading-respect-content ()
  (interactive "")
  (org-next-visible-heading 1)
  (org-insert-heading nil)
 )

because in your original example, the heading did already have a child.
However, that is not guaranteed, and in the above implementation, the
new heading is created with the level of the next headline, and that
next headline might be a sibling, a child or a parent.  So we need to
explicitly set the level:

(defun njn-subheading-respect-content ()
  (interactive "")
  (let ((level (car (org-heading-components))))
    (org-next-visible-heading 1)
    (org-insert-heading nil)
    (while (<= (car (org-heading-components)) level)
      (org-demote))))

I am using (possibly repeated) calls to `org-demote', because this will
do everything correct, also with stuff like org-odd-levels only etc.

Hope this helps.

- Carsten

I mean the hard-coded 1 on org-next-visible-heading.

Cool!  I tried the above solution and made some modifications:

(defun njn-subheading-respect-content ()
  (interactive "")
  (org-show-children)
  (let
    ((level (car (org-heading-components)))
  )
    (outline-next-heading)
    (org-insert-heading)
    (while (<= (car (org-heading-components)) level)
      (org-demote))
  ))


I added (org-show-children) to work when cursor is on a folded heading.

I removed the 1 argument to org-next-visible-heading

This appears to do what I want - thanks for the help!
