org-use-speed-commands is a customizable variable defined in org-keys.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Non-nil means activate single letter commands at beginning of a headline.

This may also be a function to test for appropriate locations where speed commands should be active.

For example, to activate speed commands when the point is on any star at the beginning of the headline, you can do this:

  (setopt org-use-speed-commands
          (lambda ()
            (and (looking-at org-outline-regexp)
                 (looking-back "^\\\\**"))))

Note that prior to Emacs 29, setopt is unavailable, and custom-set-variables or setq is used instead.
