CONTENTS visibility for subtrees

CONTENTS visibility for subtrees

[Ali Tofigh]

Hi everyone,

I love the CONTENTS visibility state for my org documents. But when I
visit headings and use TAB to expand them revealing the text they
contain, I want to be able to fold some of them back and show only the
subheadings (all sublevels). Is there a way of accomplishing this? I
can't find it in the manual.

Cheers,
/Ali

TAB both folds and unfolds.  You can use S-TAB to do this globally
getting back to your contents view.

or try C-c C-k (org-kill-note-or-show-branches) on a folded heading.

True, but TAB on a headline will not give you the CONTENTS visibility
for a subtree, i.e, using TAB on a heading never gets to a point where
only the subheadings are shown. And S-TAB is global, while I want
something local: I don't want to fold all the trees that I have
previously opened.

As an example:

* H1
** H11
** H12
* H2
** H21
** H22

First, I want to see the text under H1 so I use TAB on it. Then I want
to see the text on H2 so I use TAB on that. Now I want to basically
undo my use of TAB: I want to fold H2 so that I can still see the
subheadings (H21 and H22) but no text, and I want to keep the
visibility state of H1 intact.

Cheers,
/Ali

Thanks. I believe this does the trick.
