Re: [Orgmode] possible bug: TAB after elipsis

[John Hendy]

In my limited experience, I have already encountered this and been surprised. I can see it both ways:

- On one hand: technically, the lead up of asterisks and the actual text define the headline itself, as Carsten has pointed out. 

- On the other hand, from a user standpoint I think it would be convenient. I am not well versed in my keyboard-shortcut-fu, but I'm practicing and use M-a/e a bit. One of the reasons this behavior is a bit annoying is that M-a leads one to the spot /after/ an ellipsis. From there I want to press tab and see the headline... but no dice. I admit that I can begin to use the shortcuts specifically for navigating headlines. Learning a little at a time and so currently I don't.

Anyway, my vote goes to expand it, even if technically the cursor is after the 'body' since the 'body' is represented by the ellipsis. I think once it is folded it serves only as a representation of the headline, not anything useful having to do with actual folded text anymore.

Well, that may be technically correct, but from a UI point of view it isn't. We're still one the same (head)_line_, no?

Not that I find this an important issue to fix, mind you :-)

Cheers,
