I agree with your assessment! In fact, I think I will give your functions a try. Thanks for sharing them! Cheers, TRS-80

Hi Ihor, Ihor Radchenko writes: > If you are going this far with speed commands, you might as well switch > to modal editing. What you are describing is basically a modal command > map with ability to switch to insert map. I'm not a fan of modal editing, rather the opposite. But in this particular case I have found that I spend very little time editing the raw content of the headers, once I set it. I spend more time editing the 'meta-content': TODO states, properties, tags, refile, attached folders, etc. And that with the speed commands can be achieved in a very agile way, so that a small dose of controlled modal editing and reduced only to the header, maybe it's worth it :-) If the speed commands were also activated in the content of the sections, here we would have a real modal editing, and that (in my case) would not be comfortable.

I've never looked at the org speed commands, but as I read the post, I thought "that looks like what I have with evil mode"

[tip] Org speed commands improved
Hi all, Org speed commands are a major productivity boost and I love them. Lately it has occurred to me to make some modifications with the following configuration, which I share here in case someone wants to try it. The idea is that Org speed commands are activated anywhere in the header (not just at the beginning of the line) *or* when point is at the very beginning of the buffer. This, in my opinion, improves the navigation speed: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-use-speed-commands (lambda () (or (eq (point) 1) (org-in-regexp "^\\*+\s+.+" #+end_src This also serves as a kind of write protection for the header titles. To be able to edit them, we can use this function: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun my-org-toggle-speed-commands () (interactive) (if org-use-speed-commands (progn (setq org-use-speed-commands nil) (message "speed-commands off")) (setq org-use-speed-commands (lambda () (or (eq (point) 1) (org-in-regexp "^\\*+\s+.+" (message "speed-commands on"))) (with-eval-after-load 'org (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "M-i") 'my-org-toggle-speed-commands)) #+end_src Best regards, Juan Manuel
