The following keys now do archiving
C-c C-x C-a archive using the command specified in
`org-archive-default-command'
This variable is by default set to `org-archive-subtree', which means
arching to the archive file.
The three specific archiving commands are available through
C-c C-x C-s archive to archive file
C-c C-x a toggle the archive tag
C-c C-x A move to archive sibling
These bindings work the same in an Org file, and in the agenda.
In addition:
- In the agenda you can also use `a' to call the default archiving
command, but you need to confirm the command with `y' so that this
cannot easily happen by accident.
- For backward compatibility, `C-c $' in an org-mode file, and `$' in
the agenda buffer continue to archive to archive file.
