Re: [O] Scatter-gather idea

I am sympathetic to not wanting to use tags here. It would be tedious to tag them all, and then remove them (my opinion of course;). Here is some code that you can "mark" headlines with a speed command (M on a headline start) or interactively. This just stores a marker to the headline in a global

Re: [O] Scatter-gather idea

can you provide a use case? for me, i have long wanted to mark a set of tasks with a tag in the outline or agenda, then have /links/ to them gathered in one place, at a uniform level. that is probably less ambitious than your plan. -- The Kafka Pandemic:

Re: [O] Scatter-gather idea

Thanks for the feedback. As to the question, what is scatter-gather? -- It's the idea of gathering up scattered pieces of text and consolidating them in another place, whether elsewhere in the same buffer or in another file. Using tags would work, and I've done something similar in my home-brew

Re: [O] Scatter-gather idea

You don't need those temporary marks I think. Just store the positions in a variable or use overlays or text properties. You could even make a speed key to run the mark command. It could be implemented from a helm command pretty easily too. You can easily make multiple selections with helm.

Org-mode has nearly everything that other outlining tools have, and generally much, much more. But one thing that is missing (and there's been sporadic traffic about this) is convenient scatter-gather. BrainStorm WFO has this; it's not like I'm going to start using it as an alternative, but such a
