With point on a nested heading, is there a way to show just the
hierarchy above?
Here's the scenario: I have the following in an org file:
* Team Meeting <2006-09-20 Wed> 3pm
** Discuss Project Foo
*** TODO Ask about latest results
With the top heading collapsed so that the two below are hidden, the
3rd heading appears in an agenda. Pressing <SPC> on it in the
agenda buffer highlights the original item in another buffer. If I
change to that buffer, the point is on the item, but I can't see the
middle heading. What I'd like to do is see the hierarchy above the
TODO item. (Obviously not much of a problem for this simple
example, but for deeper hierarchies, it become more problematic.)
An alternative would be movement commands (ie, C-c C-u) that work
independent of the current visibility.
Is there a way to do one or the other of these?
When Org-mode exposes a match in an invisible part of a tree, it
can do three things:
- Just show the match (this is always a headline, and possibly
text below the headline, if the match is located there).
- Show the hierarchy of headlines above
- Show the headline following the match
The first one happens always, the others depend on the setting of the
variables `org-show-hierarchy-above' and `org-show-following-heading'.
But as you noticed correctly, for the exposing caused by commands in
the agenda buffer, only the first thing happens. I don't remember why
I did it this way, and I will change this behavior and make it
dependent
on the variables.
In the next version, the default for both options in all
contexts will be `t', so all three exposures will happen. If you
need more control, you will be able to specify the value of
the two variables dependent on context.
