Move point to current org heading

Question

In Org mode: How can I move point (up) to the current heading (or the first line under the heading)?

Answer 1

There is binding C-c C-p which might please you.

From the docstring: 'C-c C-p runs the command org-previous-visible-heading'. Also note C-c C-n for the move to the next heading.

Answer 2

org-mode is built on top of outline-mode, so you can use all the outline navigation commands. The one most relevant to your question will be outline-previous-visible-heading. You should probably find a comfortable keybinding if you plan to use it a lot.

Note that there is also a non-interactive org-back-to-heading that you could wrap in a command, if you like. Docstring says:

(org-back-to-heading &optional INVISIBLE-OK)

Call outline-back-to-heading, but provide a better error message.
