25.9.2 Outline Motion Commands

Outline mode provides special motion commands that move backward and forward to heading lines.

C-c C-n​

Move point to the next visible heading line (outline-next-visible-heading).

C-c C-p​

Move point to the previous visible heading line (outline-previous-visible-heading).

C-c C-f​

Move point to the next visible heading line at the same level as the one point is on (outline-forward-same-level).

C-c C-b​

Move point to the previous visible heading line at the same level (outline-backward-same-level).

C-c C-u​

Move point up to a lower-level (more inclusive) visible heading line (outline-up-heading).

All of the above commands accept numeric arguments as repeat counts. For example, C-c C-f, when given an argument, moves forward that many visible heading lines on the same level, and C-c C-u with an argument moves out of that many nested levels.
