is there an Emacs org-mode command to jump to an org heading?

In Emacs org-mode, is there a command like org-goto-heading?

In a long org-mode file, I have a heading toward the bottom like this:

* questions

I'd like to jump to that heading without having to wade through all the other instances of the word questions.

Is there a command like:

Basically I would like to navigate to that heading using something like this: M-x org-goto-heading questions <RET>

Solution

  • Here is an interesting thread from the org mailing list discussing navigation.

    Essentially, add this to your init file:

    (setq org-goto-interface 'outline-path-completion
      org-goto-max-level 10)

    And you can jump to heading with the org-goto command C-c C-j. You can also use C-u C-c C-w org-refile by adding this to your init file:

    (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil)
