Re: [O] how to org-refile-region?

[Peter Salazar]

Again, ideally this functionality would be independent of the org-agenda files used by org-refile, so as to avoid displaying irrelevant headings as possible targets. 

Currently this is doable by doing:

1. select text

2. cut

3. other-window

4. navigate to desired target heading

5. paste text

6. other window

The proposed new function would make this much more efficient:

1. select text

2. org-refile-region

3. choose target 

 

The most useful form of this would allow you to choose a target from among any currently open documents. My use case involves selecting text from one buffer and refiling it from among org-headings in another buffer, i.e. moving text from a source document displayed in one window and refiling to targets within the hierarchy of a target document displayed in another window, like so:

Does anyone have ideas for how to implement?

Is there a way to automatically refile highlighted text under an org-heading? i.e. to cut the highlighted text and automatically paste it under the heading of my choice?

You could call it org-refile-region. Similar to org-refile, but to refile not the entire subtree, but only the highlighted region under any heading in the current document. Ideally this would offer me only headings in the current document.

Here's a start:
