Hi Adam,
this is great, I love it!
I am wondering if you would consider the possibility to show on only the most recent heading, but, space permitting, the outline path - maybe in reverse order as to keep the sticky heading itself in the left-most column.
Something like
*** current level | ** level above | * top level
you could use `org-get-outline-path' to get the other headings up the tree.
I don't necessarily think it should be the default, but it could be an option.
Cheers
Carsten
P.S. I also see what Eric Fraga is seeing and would love to have this issue solved.
