I hate folding of sub-trees in org mode (really I hate folding in all circumstances). Is there a way to globally disable it for org-mode? Is there a way to disable it for all modes? I've tried googling the topic a couple times and I didn't find anything obvious.

It's probably impossible to completely disable folding. You can set `org-startup-folded` to `nofold`, but there can be per-file `STARTUP` header that overrides the option.
You can disable tab and shifttab:
```
(define-key org-mode-map [remap org-cycle] #'ignore)
(define-key org-mode-map [remap org-shifttab] #'ignore)
```

If this is about `outline-minor-mode`, it doesn't fold text unless you enable it.

That seems to work. Thank you!

Why do you want to disable it? Just dont fold.
Or does it fold auto automatically?

You can display *all* invisible text with `M-x visible-mode`; or by default with:
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'visible-mode)

Do you mean something like this?
;; Show everything when .org file is opened
(setq org-startup-folded `showeverything)
`C-h v org-startup-folded RET` will show the other settings.

Right now if I accidentally hit TAB it's folding. I almost never want folding. I run everything at high resolution so screen real estate is almost never an issue. I also journal by day, or have a file per research project so my files aren't super huge.

Then maybe bind org-toggle-fold or whatever it's called to something different Than tab?
