When I have executed (org-narrow-to-subtree), how can move between subtrees of the same level.

Is this possible?

I have tried 

next/previous heading                             C-c C-n/p
next/previous heading, same level                 C-c C-f/b

But they don't recognize the same levels as the narrowed subtree.

Example:

* Tree 1
** Sub 1
** Sub 2
* Tree 2

If i am at * Tree 1 and do C-x C-n s is there a way to jump between * Tree 1 and * Tree 2 without first doing C-x C-n w?

  • See if your keys bindings have not been changed from the defaults. C-h k C-c C-f must show org-forward-heading-same-level. – Emacs User May 21 '16 at 14:13
  • It is mapped to that function. Within the subtree I have narrowed to, this works fine. What I'm wondering is can I jump to the next subtree on the same level as the one I narrowed to. – Sparx May 21 '16 at 19:19

If what you want to move the narrowing along with point to the next subtree, you can define a command that does that:

(defun my/org-narrow-forward ()
  "Move to the next subtree at same level, and narrow to it."
  (interactive)
  (widen)
  (org-forward-heading-same-level 1)
  (org-narrow-to-subtree))

I guess you could also simply define a keyboard macro.

  • Thanks for the quick answer. One of these days elisp will enter my head when looking for answers like these. – Sparx May 21 '16 at 22:03

org-tree-slide.el could be useful for you.
