Hi Richard: I really like the video! I know some Emacs users have custom color screens, so I was very encouraged that you recorded the tutorial using the default. (I switched back to the default specifically for Org-mode.)
I also liked seeing the keystrokes (even though I'm a Windows PC user). I do know what the Meta key is (having used Emacs for over 10 years.) But maybe the Mac command key image could be replaced by "M-" to be consistent with Emacs documentation. I never knew about using M-Up & M-Down to re-order items, so I did learn from this! I thought the pace was too fast, actually. Some of the keystrokes went by very fast. And some were missing, although now I realize that you highlighted only the Org-mode-specific keys and not the ones for Emacs functions, such as narrowing. Maybe it's just me, but I never use narrowing, so those are new keys for me. Overall I felt that the pace would be good for a recap. I tried using Org-mode several months ago. But I never fully embraced it. I'm sure tutorials like yours will give me the incentive to use it regularly. I definitely look forward to watching more, and I will try hard to respond often with helpful comments. I hope this helps! -- Raymond Zeitler <r.zeit...@ieee.org> -----Original Message----- Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 20:45:30 -0400 From: Richard Moreland <r...@ncogni.to> Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts To: Charles Cave <charles_c...@optusnet.com.au> Cc: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Message-ID: <f359ee5e-d8cf-4728-a3b9-03b01c78d...@ncogni.to> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I jumped the gun a bit and decided to put together a video showing the very basics. It seems overly simple when I re-watch it, but I think it is helpful for those who are unsure how to get started with the basics of Org-mode. http://ncogni.to/org-screencasts/1-basics/ Feedback is welcome, these were the least exciting topics to cover, but I wasn't sure how to really wow new users without overwhelming them. I figured that taking it step by step with short, clear episodes covering special topics would be a good start. -Richard On Sep 23, 2010, at 6:47 PM, Charles Cave wrote: >> Richard Moreland <rlm <at> ncogni.to> writes: >> I think it would be helpful to create a series of screencasts to >> demonstrate Org-mode. > > Great idea!
