Hello fellow org-mode users,
Using org-mode has made some things for me intolerable. I watched
Carsten Dominik's talk at google where he articulated his desire for
a simple interface for folding and unfolding. I became very unhappy
with the hideshow.el interface for hiding and showing code. I don't
know how anyone can bother to use these key bindings.
;; hs-hide-block C-c @ C-h or C-c S-2 C-h (C-c C-2 C-h
would be an improvement)
;; hs-show-block C-c @ C-s or C-c S-2 C-h
Wow, these would have made good examples for my talk. Disastrous keys,
invalidating the entire point of folding.
I endeavored to make hideshow.el work more like org-mode and created
my extension hideshow-org.el. Now TAB hides and shows code blocks
when no indentation is necessary, but indents otherwise. So for
those of you who work a lot on code, I encourage you to give it a
try. The code and a little screencast that shows it in action is
available here:

This looks like a huge improvement. Congratulations, maybe you should
talk to Thien-Thi and Dan, if they are interested to incorporate this
into hideshow as an option.

Thanks again for org-mode. It's fundamentally changed the way I
relate with emacs.
