Newbie. I opened my simple notes.org, and it seems to indicate it's an
indirect buffer? "(Org Ind)" in mode line?

I totally killed the buffer and just reopened the file (C-x f).

I can edit it just fine, but it's bugging me.  Oh I also just now
tried finding a new non-existent file abc.org, and it does the same
thing.

Here's my init.el file, it's pretty short:

Checkout that INDentation, though.

What? I do not understand what IND has anything to do with
indentation. Joking haha. Ok thanks!

So the following line set that up?  [EDIT: YES IT DOES.]

    (setq org-startup-indented t)

I commented that out of init.el, restarted, and got the same thing.
However, I also have the following, maybe this also restores indented
mode? [EDIT: YES IT DOES]

    (desktop-save-mode 1)

That first line has been in my config for weeks now, so I guess I just
now noticed the IND.  Thanks again!

Try M-x describe-mode to see what modes are enabled.

The "Org Ind" is the lighter (what Emacs calls those mode indicators
in the mode line) for `org-indent-mode`. When you set up `(setq org-
startup-indented t)` you sad to Emacs to enable that mode when you
enter org-mode. There are other ways to enable that mode, best way to
start to explore that is to see the description of `org-startup-
indented` variable (`C-h v org-startup-indented RET`) and read the
documentation string and then go on from there.

Also you could go with mouse pointer over the "Org Ind" and press
middle click (`mouse-2` in Emacs terminology) to open help buffer for
the mode that is responsible for that lighter.

Ahhh I didn't know that terminology or that all of those were
clickable, thanks!

I didn't know you could do that via M-x desc-mo, thanks! I did know
about C-h m, though!
