Wow; I didn't know about this function and am also intrigued. When I run it I get what looks like a nice list of my recent clocked projects, with numbers to "select" them. When I press a number, though, it seems to finish without doing anything. I hoped maybe it would clock me in without me visiting that buffer, but no such luck. There also seems to be little documentation on this that I can find.
Peter, on my run Org-mode version 8.2.10, I see just what you are describing: a numbered list with the most recent things at the top. It just doesn't seem to do anything after that. - Tory Peter Münster <pmli...@free.fr> writes: > Hi, > > How does this function work please? > > When I start this function, I get a *Clock Task Select* buffer with the > line "Recent Tasks" and this prompt in the minibuffer: "Select task for > clocking:".
