[O] Potential feature request – more automatic updating of cookies |

Paste the following in an Org buffer:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Cookie_a [0/0]
* TODO Dummy_a
* Cookie_b [0/1]
** TODO Dummy_b
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Within that buffer:
1. Move point to the line of Dummy_a.
2. <M-right>
I wished the cookie to be updated to [0/1] but it is not.
Then:
1. Move point to the line of Dummy_b.
2. C-c C-x C-w
3. Move point to the line of Dummy_a at column 0.
4. C-c C-x C-y
I wished both cookies to be updated. They are not.
The manual [[info:org#Checkboxes][says]]:
Checkbox statistic cookies are updated automatically if you toggle
checkboxes with `C-c C-c' and make new ones with `M-S-<RET>'. TODO
statistics cookies update when changing TODO states. If you delete
boxes/entries or add/change them by hand, use this command to get things
back into sync.
Should I request the feature of Org automatically updating cookies when using
structure editing commands such as C-c C-x C-w, C-c C-x C-y, <M-left>,
<M-right> and friends? Would it be worth the development cost? I
unfortunately cannot develop it myself.
The point is that C-u C-c # (to update cookies in the entire buffer) takes
long enough that I only call it a few times per week. This means that cookies
can get out of sync. Then I try to remember manually invoking C-c # on the
relevant line every time it goes out of sync, but I sometimes omit it.
I figured I should discuss this in the mailing list before submitting a bug
report with org-submit-bug-report.
