The preamble to the source code in remember.el makes a good case for removing the labour of storing small pieces of data: ...the initial 'just remember this' impulse should be as close to simply throwing the data at Emacs as possible I think that having multiple remember buffers would remove some of the labour of remembering: renaming the buffer or saving the note and switching to the buffer where the thing is remembered. Thus, the ability to have multiple remember buffers seems to me to be in keeping with the spirit of the remember facility: to make it as easy as possible to save small pieces of information. - reply - I'm still not seeing it. You are not throwing the data at Emacs if you are trying to stop in mid-air / mid-thought and start something new. I still think the first buffer should be resolved before the second one is started. If you are returning to a Remember buffer that you've already started, then I would call that editing. Maybe an alternative idea is to make one binding that resolves the current Remember buffer and immediately opens a new one? -- John Sullivan http://www.wjsullivan.net _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
