Additionnally, have a _DEFAULT suffix to define defaults.
There was a patch recently on the mailing list, subject "elisp
formulas....."
Seen it, will test it closely.
Please do, I am interested in this patch, maybe you see ways
to expand the possibilities.
- FR: A function to display the link the cursor is on (the same way
the
mouse displays a small popup.) This function would particularily be
useful in the agenda view.
C-c C-l LOOK RET RET :-)
:)
Hard to find new key bindings for these.
But C-c C-l is not accessible from the agenda, right?
No, it is not, and I'd rather not make it. There could be several links
in a headline, and the agenda is really meant to have commands that
do not depend on where in the line the cursor is.
I guess you could add to post-command-hook in the agenda something
like this, to use the echo area if it is empty:
(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(add-hook 'post-command-hook
(lambda ()
(unless (current-message)
(if (looking-at ".*?\\[\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]")
(message "Link to: %s"
(org-match-string-no-properties 1)))))
t t)))
- FR: When selecting an attachment, if there is already a directory
defined for this the current entry, then use this directory as the
default directory for browsing and select the attachment.
You mean if there is an attachment directory defined?
Yes.
What do you mean by "when selecting and attachment"?
C-c C-a should be aware of any previously defined directory, and take
this directory as the default directory when browsing for other files
to attach. Am I more clear?
No, not clear to me.
Do you mean that the attachment directory should become the default?
No, maybe you mean that if I have already attached a/b/c/file,
the next time you want to attach a file from the same directory, a/b/c?
- FR: Allow to insert "+1d"-type strings when picking up a date with
`org-time-stamp'.
This works for me, what am I missing here?
Weird. C-c C-s + 1 d RET does only insert today's date here, no "+1d"
string.
- FR: Symmetric to individual lead time, I wish I can have individual
"remaining" time - for example, the number of days during which a
deadline is still visible in the agenda view. (That would happily
steal 90% of what org-expiry.el is trying to achieve.)
I think the purpose of deadlines is for them sting you until you do
something about them? For me it seems that this would be counter
productive. Why don't you tick off these items ok archive/kill them????
Well, let's say I plan to do something next week but it's not high
priority. I want it to pop up in my agenda view next week, and stay for
three days, because passed this delay, I know I won't have any interest
in doing it anymore. Having something like +3d looks consistent to me
-- but I agree I can find workarounds. Or just fix my habits :)
- FR: Following a sh: or an elisp: link prompts the user for
confirmation. Can we have a variable that let the user to globally
turn this off?
Yes, there is such a variable: org-confirm-elisp-link-function
and org-confirm-shell-link-function.
Great, thanks!
- FR: Visually mark (with #) entries that are marked in the agenda
view?
I am not sure what you are talking about, what marking???
Sorry I meant when marking an entry with `k m' in agenda view.
- FR: When setting a mark in the agenda view, go to the next line?
(Like in buffer-menu and other menu mode.)
I am not sure what you are talking about, what marking???
Same here. `k m' would jump to the next unmarked entry.
- FR: Maybe `?' could provide a little help in agenda mode.
Hmmm, yes, why not. What should it say?
Will think of it.
Because, the keys are available in the menu.
Yeah, but maybe some people don't use menus (I don't).
I use them to look up keys, nothing else :-)
- FR: Grouping several :clock: lines when clocking periods are very
close to each other (with a user-defined threshold). For example,
clocking 5 times 10 minutes within the same hour would be rounded up
to one hour.
With things nicely tugged way into drawers, I see no reasons to do this.
The main reason was to cheat and try pretend you've been working 1 hour
when you really worked 50 minutes :)
Yes, I can see that, but anything automatic would probably create crap. Editing time stamps is easy enough though....
Great!
- Q/FR: How to go at the end of a field in a table? Maybe C-a and C-e
could be contextually redefined to do this, since a table is such a
specific editing context.
Word-motion commands? I am not comfortable with overloading C-a and C-
e.
forward-paragraph and backward-paragraph would make sense, no? For now
M-} jumps out of the table.
`C-c C-d SPC', `C-c C-s SPC' could respectively delete deadlines and
scheduled properties. Or maybe C-c C-u could remove any timestamp
(this keystroke is free in org-agenda-mode since outline-mode is not
loaded.)
I believe C-u C-c C-s and C-u C-c C-d do this for Deadlines. You men
the time stamp w/o any keyword????
The problem is that you don't see whether an entry is scheduled or has a
deadline in agenda view. How do you decide which one to delete?
Well, the prefix in the agenda does tell you if it is scheduled or a deadline!
