Further, you suggest I use C-S-<right> to demote the subtree after

a numerical prefix argument to copy or cut several subtrees, maybe 5 or
10? Not very convenient at all to demote them all by hand...
I still hold that pasting headings / subtress either at the same level
or at the child level of the target heading is part of the bread and
butter of outline editing and should be as straightforward as possible.
I'm rather sure the current numeric prefixes of org-paste-subtree to
select a distinct level at which to paste are needed / used much less
frequently than a "paste at child level" prefix (maybe C-u C-u?) would
be if it was implemented.
Could you please provide concrete ideas what C-u/C-u C-u should do?
In particular, how it will interact with point located at heading,
at heading beginning, at empty heading, or inside a heading section.
To be honest, I don't see much need for fine-grained special cases. I'd
be very happy with C-u yanking at the level of the heading at point and
C-u C-u yanking at one level below that, regardless of the exact
position of point. I realize that would mean C-u doubling what can
already be done by calling org-paste-subtree with point at the beginning
of a heading but accessing both options (paste as sibling or child) with
a single or repeat C-u seems more consistent to me than having one
depend on position and getting at the other via the command prefix.
Thanks a lot for your dedication in working on this!
