Yup - I don't know why, but for some reason I can see it more easily when others do it than when I do it: I sometimes spend *minutes* bewildered ("*how can that be?!?!*"). At some point, I get into "Terminator" mode, go down the list for the appropriate response, remember the C-c C-c problem, whack my head on my desk a few times, and go on. But when next time comes, it's as if it never happened before (well, perhaps things are improving: I generally go into "Terminator" mode much more quickly nowadays - a couple of times in the more distant past, I gave up in disgust, went to bed and didn't think of C-c C-c until the next day.) It would be so nice if org did the org-mode-restart bit automatically after a change to a #+KEYWORD line: in some cases (e.g. TBLFM lines) you have direct feedback so it doesn't matter too much, but in other cases, that feedback is just nowhere to be found. I don't know how difficult it would be to implement such a facility[fn:1], but maybe it can be added to the GSoC list if somebody has a bright idea on how to do it. Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] ... without making it too expensive to run: I wonder how expensive it would be running org-mode-restart from an idle timer - probably prohibitive if the file is large enough. And I can imagine situations where that would be even *more* confusing: changing behavior apparently without any other change - can you say magic?
