You can change how the ellipsis look so that you are more careful and don't confuse them with 3 normal dots which could appear anywhere... For instance: (setq org-ellipsis "〖 ✎ 〗") Or just give it a more visible face, like in: (setq org-ellipsis (quote org-column)) I use another face and I don't attempt anymore to delete hidden text. [1] In addition I use … to write ellipsis myself, thus I notice the difference between … and ... -- Daniel [1] I only do it when I hit some org-mode bug which allows you to edit invisible text while it still shows the ellipsis; this happens specially at the end of buffers (narrowed or not). ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

> I would NEVER EVER EVER delete naked ellipses, this is dangerous. If Carsten's capital letters don't cure you of the habit, I don't know what will. :-) Seriously, try to train yourself to think of those ellipses, as code for "everything productive you did in Emacs over the last excruciating hour" 'cause that's what they (sometimes) stand for.

Re: [Orgmode] bad habit (deleting elipses in folded tree)
I would NEVER EVER EVER delete naked ellipses, this is dangerous.
Press `C-c C-r' in their vicinity, this should hopefully fix the
problem. Otherwise, `M-x show-all' will always do the trick.

Often an elipsis ("...") is seen at the bottom of a new entry from a
remember template. I find myself deleting them, compulsively. I'm
not so sure, but I THINK that sometimes this is ok, and I now am
afraid I have discovered that at some times a whole bunch of pre-
exiisting entries are deleted when I delete the elipsis.
What's the scoop about elipses? Which variables are relevant? Can
I defeat this habit by reconfiguring, or do I have to force myself
to have better habits?
Thank you,
