Allow C-2 C-c C-w to work in the agenda.
Update agenda after refiling
This rebuilds the agenda buffer after the refile operation completes.
It was removing the to-be-refiled task before prompting for the location
which felt a little strange. While on the prompt you can't see
the task you are refiling anymore since it was just removed from the
agenda list and if you aborted from the refile operation
with C-g then the task to be refiled has already been removed.
By default, title, author, date and email lines appear in dark blue
with the initial keywords greyed out. The title is in a larger font
than the others. This is implemented by the following new faces:
org-document-title
org-document-info
org-document-info-keyword
In addition, the variable org-hidden-keywords can be used to make the
corresponding keywords disappear.
This new code will search #+INDEX lines in the buffer. For LaTeX, it
will simple convert these into LaTeX \index{} commands. For other
backends, it will copy thee entries to a new file, with extension
orgx. These files can then later be post-processed to create the index.
