Hi,
I've been using org, but it is starting to bug me that it relies so
heavily on control-c this and control-u control-c that. It is now also
the case that there is a bewildering array of key strokes to memorise.
You only need to look at the org-mode reference card to see that.
In my personal config i have the common things that i use re-mapped to
make it easier on me. For example org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c is mapped to
meta-o and org-remember is meta-r.
So this latest release with the agenda keymap change got me thinking
about the org keymapings, and I'd like to propose something a bit
different.
This is an idea that will work as a reference for beginners, a dynamic
built in org-mode reference card, and a pinkie finger saver.
Essentially it is this. There is a <magic-key> - meta-o or
ctrl-c-ctrl-c-ctrl-h or whatever. When you press this key it brings up
a menu like the remember mode and agenda mode front ends. This menu is
the top of a tree like structure that gives access to all of the
org-mode key-mappable things. Below is an example created from
headings in the org-mode reference card.
* Pressing <magic key> brings up a menu buffer with:
================================================================================
[v]isibility cycling [m]otion [s]tructure
editing
ar[c]hiving [f]iltering and sparse trees [t]ables
[l]inks [c]ompletion t[o]do items
and checkboxes
ta[g]s t[i]mestamps [a]genda
views
late[x] and cdlatex-mode [e]xporting and publishing [d]ynamic blocks
[u]ser functions
================================================================================
* Pressing 'v' for [v]isibility, brings up the next menu:
=========================== Visibility Cycling
======================================
Menu option: org-keymap:
[r]otate current subtree between states TAB
rotate [e]ntire buffer between states S-TAB
restore [p]roperty-dependent startup visibility C-u C-u TAB
show the [w]hole file, including drawers C-u C-u C-u TAB
reveal [c]ontext around point C-c C-r
================================================================================
This creates an inbuilt help system and a pinkie saving mode. because
C-u C-u C-u TAB is also <magic key> v w
It should also be extendible enough for users to add their own
functions, and org-mode extensions to add any new keys.
