9.5 Refile and copy
===================
When reviewing the captured data, you may want to refile or to copy some
of the entries into a different list, for example into a project.
Cutting, finding the right location, and then pasting the note is
cumbersome. To simplify this process, you can use the following special
command:
‘C-c M-w (org-copy)’
Copying works like refiling, except that the original note is not
deleted.
‘C-c C-w (org-refile)’
Refile the entry or region at point. This command offers possible
locations for refiling the entry and lets you select one with
completion. The item (or all items in the region) is filed below
the target heading as a subitem. Depending on
‘org-reverse-note-order’, it will be either the first or last
subitem.
By default, all level 1 headlines in the current buffer are
considered to be targets, but you can have more complex definitions
across a number of files. See the variable ‘org-refile-targets’
for details. If you would like to select a location via a
file-path-like completion along the outline path, see the variables
‘org-refile-use-outline-path’ and
‘org-outline-path-complete-in-steps’. If you would like to be able
to create new nodes as new parents for refiling on the fly, check
the variable ‘org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes’. When the
variable ‘org-log-refile’(1) is set, a timestamp or a note will be
recorded when an entry has been refiled.
‘C-u C-c C-w’
Use the refile interface to jump to a heading.
‘C-u C-u C-c C-w (org-refile-goto-last-stored)’
Jump to the location where ‘org-refile’ last moved a tree to.
‘C-2 C-c C-w’
Refile as the child of the item currently being clocked.
‘C-3 C-c C-w’
Refile and keep the entry in place. Also see ‘org-refile-keep’ to
make this the default behavior, and beware that this may result in
duplicated ‘ID’ properties.
‘C-0 C-c C-w or C-u C-u C-u C-c C-w (org-refile-cache-clear)’
Clear the target cache. Caching of refile targets can be turned on
by setting ‘org-refile-use-cache’. To make the command see new
possible targets, you have to clear the cache with this command.
