 1# Editing Options Implementation Plan
 2
 3> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
 4
 5**Goal:** The org options that change what commands write become settings, so Orgstar can follow the user's Emacs: `org-tags-column`, `org-insert-heading-respect-content`, `org-M-RET-may-split-line`, `org-list-allow-alphabetical`, and the default TODO keywords.
 6
 7**Architecture:** `EditingOptions` travels in `EditContext` and `EmacsBuffer`; tag alignment, heading and item insertion, and list bullets read it. Alphabetical lists add `org-list-use-alpha-bul-p` and the alphabetical branches of `org-list-struct-fix-bul`. Default TODO keywords come from a `#+TODO`-syntax line (`OrgSettings.withTodoKeywords`); the index settings version follows them, so changing them reindexes. The app keeps all of it in Settings.
 8
 9**Tech Stack:** Swift 6.2 tools, SwiftUI, Swift Testing, Emacs 31.1 / Org 9.8.7 oracle.
10
11**Spec:** `docs/design.md`, "Commands and keymaps".

13## Why
14
15The user's Emacs is Doom, which sets tags column 0, M-RET after the subtree without splitting, alphabetical lists, and the keywords TODO PROJ LOOP STRT WAIT HOLD IDEA | DONE KILL. Their notes use KILL and have no `#+TODO` lines; 499 of 522 tagged headings end their tags at column 77.
16
17## Defaults chosen (user may change)
18
19- Tags aligned to column 77 (as the files are), not Doom's 0.
20- M-RET after the subtree, no splitting, alphabetical lists, and Doom's main keyword sequence, as the user's Emacs does today.

24### Task 1: Options in commands
25
26- [ ] `EditingOptions`; plumb through every command; alphabetical bullets.
27- [ ] Oracle: heading, structure and list suites again under the Doom options (`withOptions` binds the variables around each case), plus alphabetical list variants.
28- [ ] Commit "Make org editing options settings".
29
30### Task 2: App
31
32- [ ] Settings section; options to the editor and session; default keywords to documents and the index at launch.
33- [ ] Commit "Org options in Settings".
