I want to use helm for org-refile completion when determining which heading to refile under.

Here are some excerpts from my initialization script.

(setq org-refile-targets '(("~/Documents/GTD/Gtd.org" :maxlevel . 3)
                           ("~/Documents/GTD/Someday.org" :level . 1)
                           ("~/Documents/GTD/Tickler.org" :maxlevel . 2)))


(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
(setq org-completion-use-ido nil)

I'm not sure what more I need to use helm in this manner. Do I need to rebind the refile key to a different command?

Here are my settings. I got a lot of help on this from Aaron Bieber's discussion.


(setq org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 8)
                           ("~/.emacs.d/config.org" :maxlevel . 8)))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes 'confirm)

Helm works perfectly with these settings. I didn't have to set org-completion-use-ido to nil. I actually don't see that as a variable option at all (I'm using org 9.2.4).

  • Doesn't seem to be working for me with those settings. I am running on Windows so not sure if that makes a difference. – Phaino Jun 20 at 21:14
  • Actually, this does work I just had an error in my config. Thank you! – Phaino Jun 21 at 4:01
