Move item with underlying text in orgmode?

Is there a way to move an item together with underlying text in a structural way?

* Header
** Subheader
   some text

I want to move Subheader together with some text in a structural way. So I tried M-UP/DOWN when I'm on Subheader but it only moves the Subheader not the "some text" as well.

Note: I prefer not to cut paste yank text as it's not structural.

Solution

  • There is org-cut-special (bound to C-c C-x C-w), org-copy-special (bound to C9c C-x M-w) and org-paste-special (bound to C-c C-x C-y): they are analogous to Cut/Copy/Paste but they operate on subtrees.

    Also, you might try looking at the Org menu when you are editing an org-mode file. The above commands and quite a few more are under the Edit structure menu.
