emacs org-mode

org-mode video

* headers
some text
** sub headers
some text for sub headers
*** sub sub headers

just tried org-mode for emacs. its brilliant , so simple. type your notes in like this , any headers want just put * at beginning of new line and carry on typing. then want to rearrange things it really simple , use ALT + cursor keys on * header lines and it takes text associated and any sub-headers with it to new location.

Recap
put cursor on star then press
ALT+LEFT = promote
ALT+RIGHT = demote
ALT+UP = move up in list
ALT+DOWN = move down in list

try it , such a time saver.

typical install on linux goes something like this .

#get it from git repository
git clone git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
#
cp -r org-mode [your-target-destination]
cd [your-target-destination]
make
make doc
make install

if you dont use emacs , i would just for org-mode.
