\chapter{...} and "birds-eye view"

[marceltaeumel]

Is it possible to ignore the clear-page command for \chapter if we are in birds-eye mode?

[krono]

No, not easily.

[marceltaeumel]

Can I redefine "chapter" manually?

[krono]

You can try this:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\scr@startchapter}[1]{%
   \@afterindentfalse
  \expandafter\SecDef\csname @#1\expandafter\endcsname\csname @s#1\endcsname
}
\makeatother

I got this but my koma-script version was too old: LaTeX Error: \scr@startchapter undefined.

Then I updated it and now I am getting a bunch of LaTeX Error: Float(s) lost. One for each \chapter command.

Here is a simple workaround by declaring chapters to look like sections:

\RedeclareSectionCommand[
  style=section,
  indent=0pt
]{chapter}
