Hi,
When I create a new headline, I want a set of features in it:
1. The ID property in the properties drawer
2. The properties drawer should be collapsed
3. An inactive timestamp at the beginning of text
4. Cursor at the beginning of heading
Currently, I have a hook for org-insert-heading-hook, after learning
and experimenting with emacs lisp for a while, but it has serious
problems:
(add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook
'(lambda()
(org-id-get-create) ;-> Adds ID property
(insert-char 48) ;-> required for next 2 org-cycles to collapse the
properties drawer
(org-cycle)
(org-cycle)
(save-excursion ;-> add time stamp
(org-end-of-meta-data t)
(org-time-stamp-inactive '(16))
(newline)
)
)
)
This makes org-insert-heading create an entry like the following:
* 0 -> cursur after this 0
:PROPERTIES:
[2016-01-16 Sat 08:40]
Most of the problems stem from the insert-char. First of all, it enters a
useless "0" character
which I have to manually remove by backspace. Secondly, when I read from
mobile-org, it converts
TODO into 0TODO, which is to say it converts useful into useless. But I cannot
live without it
because without this 0, org-cycle doesn't collapse the entry but instead,
indents the subtree.
Can someone show a simple way to achieve the 4 features automatically in a new
entry? I used
to strongly feel it should be very easy, but I am at my wits' end now.
thanks a lot
