Feature request for Helm-org-headline

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

I use a lot `Helm-org-headline', and think that its output could be
highly improved with a tiny presentation detail, that is, instead of
reporting an hypothetical structure as:

13:H1:Chapter I
17:H2:Chapter I / Section A
22:H3:Chapter I / Section A / Subsection 1
41:H3:Chapter I / Section A / Subsection 1

Do it as:

13: * Chapter I
17: ** Chapter I / Section A
22: *** Chapter I / Section A / Subsection 1
41: *** Chapter I / Section A / Subsection 1

IOW, replace "H1/H2/H3" by "*/**/***".

WDYT?

Best regards,
Seb

Does someone else do it?

If not, could you just give me some hints about which functions I should
look at to try to make the modification? I never saw where those
H1/H2/H3 strings were written, where the "string line" is constructed.

No.

See helm-headline-get-candidates, find the line:

(format "H%d:%s" (1+ hierarchy)

use instead something like:

(format "%s:%s" (make-string (1+ hierarchy) ?*)

Why do you need the stars at all?

Org has native go to heading with `C-u C-c C-w`.

Thanks a lot for your answer!!

For the sake of clarity, I'd remove the `:' character from the display:

(format "%s %s" (make-string (1+ hierarchy) ?*)

Can you commit that, please?

> Why do you need the stars at all?

To show the lines in a similar way as what they are in the Org
buffer. In fact, exactly as they are for all H1 headlines, and similar
for all the others (prefix of parent headlines added).

I don't understand. That has nothing to do with `Helm-org-headline'!?

╭────
│ C-c C-w runs the command org-refile, which is an interactive Lisp function in
│ `org.el'.
│
│ (org-refile &optional ARG DEFAULT-BUFFER RFLOC MSG)
│
│ Move the entry or entries at point to another heading. [...]
│
│ With prefix arg ARG, the command will only visit the target
│ location and not actually move anything.
╰────

With `C-u C-c C-w', you go to one specific file and place that you
construct interactively by adding components to the path.

Here, with `Helm-org-headline', you see all headlines (in your current
Org buffer only) which match a specific pattern (for example, all
headlines which have the "test" string in them). Similar to `occur',
but limited to the headlines.
