Hi! In short: can we get a cached org-buffer-property-keys please?
My background story: I love using following function which gives me a neat functionality: I mark a string, press the keybinding shortcut, and gets asked which property should be replaced/filled with the marked region text. Very handy when you've got a new phone number of a contact which should find its way to the associated property. (defun my-org-region-to-property (&optional property) (interactive) ;; if no region is defined, do nothing (if (use-region-p) ;; if a region string is found, ask for a property and set property to ;; the string in the region (let ((val (replace-regexp-in-string "\\`[ \t\n]*" "" (replace-regexp-in-string "[ \t\n]*\\'" "" (substring (buffer-string) (- (region-beginning) 1) (region-end)))) ) ;; if none was stated by user, read property from user (prop (or property (org-read-property-name)))) ;; set property (org-set-property prop val)))) A big drawback is that I have to wait 18 seconds(!) until org-read-property-name which calls org-buffer-property-keys asks for the property. This is a real show stopper for this cool function. Since the properties of a buffer do not change that often, caching its previous result would make sense to me. This way, I only have to wait 18 seconds once per file on the first call. An alternative would be a org-read-property-name which uses only the properties of the current heading.
