Hi, That is, Í rather than Ì. Correct, Índice. In fact, one could argue that it should just be just Indice (or perhaps Indice General), since it is usual in Spanish to omit accents on capital letters. It is „usual to write omitting all type of things... As for the correct writing, the academy of spanish language says that it has been always mandatory to write accents on capital letters; thus Í http://www.rae.es/rae/gestores/gespub18.nsf/(voAnexos)/arch8100821B76809110C12571B80038BA4A/$File/CuestionesparaelFAQdeconsultas.htm#ap22 „Índice is ok; sometimes it's also used „Índice de contenidos but „Índice is the most common.

Carsten, I just loaded http://www.orgmode.org in firefox and IE6 and it showed all right initially.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: log on state change
Leo [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Using tags to setup todo looks unclean to me. However it is very nice to be able to set up todo using an interface similar to tags. And since the argument to org-todo has become completely useless because of this feature. I propose the following: C-c C-t (`org-todo') brings up an interface similar to the one for org-set-tags but only for todos (C-c C-c only for tags) I wish we could stick to the yes-very-busy C-c C-c key for setting both TODOs and tags. Here is another suggestion: why not restrict the fast selection to TODO keywords when the point is at TODO keywords, and to tags when the point is on tags? This would make C-c C-c even more context-aware, but I guess this is what most users expect from it. And since the current behavior is okay, I guess this new contextual behavior should be set through an option, defaulting to nil. Another argument to let C-c C-t continue its job is that it is able to distinguish between sequence TODOs and type TODOs. This is extremely useful -- especially when C-c C-t is bound to `org-agenda-todo' and you don't remember whether the expected TODO keywords for a headline are part of a sequence or are types.

I think it doesn't make sense to have `org-agenda-set-category' until we are able to set the category as a property of the headline. For now categories (like the archiving locations) are set by looking *backward* for a line like #+CATEGORY or #+ARCHIVE.

See the discussion here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/2898 Please anybody stops me if I'm wrong, but I guess the #+ARCHIVE and #+CATEGORY instructions are slowly dying and will be set as properties in the future.

Re: [Orgmode] insert item under previous headline (feature request?)
Maxim Loginov [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: usually I look for the paper in internet and use remember to insert such TODOs, and temporarily modify remember template in order not to seek * TODO read papers headline every time. It would be good if org-mode can remember the last used headline and insert newly created TODO under it for example using prefix argument 0 (C-u 0 M-x remember) I'm wondering if such feature exist or can be implemented? I don't know about inserting the last used headline but it would certainly be useful to be able to call the last used *template*. Maybe just an option saying org-remember-last-template-is-default so that you'll have to choose a template the first time you call `remember', and the next calls to `remember' will use this template until you call `remember' again with a prefix. (If we want to use another template and forgot to call `remember' with a prefix then no problem, we can always switch from within the `remember' buffer.) Further more: the first template in `org-remember-templates' could be silently used as the default template unless we call `remember' with a prefix argument (possible the key for the template). Hence the meaning of the prefix to M-x remember would be something like change the default/last template. I guess such a set up might be okay for those who heavily use `remember' to store TODOs. -- Bastien ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

Is this temporary until a better solution is found? Not at all, I really cannot think of a better solution. The only thing preliminary about this would be the setup using Emacs Lisp. I guess the in-buffer setup like #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) is nice and similar to TAGS, so that will stay. Using tags to setup todo looks unclean to me. However it is very nice to be able to set up todo using an interface similar to tags. Yes, it is not very clean, agreed. Even if you *could* view TODO keywords as special, privileged tag. And since the argument to org-todo has become completely useless because of this feature. I propose the following: C-c C-t (`org-todo') brings up an interface similar to the one for org-set-tags but only for todos (C-c C-c only for tags) Hm, yes, this might indeed be cleaner. C-u C-c C-t cycle through todo states i.e. the old behavior. And don't forget that we also have S-right doing cycling. make an user option to swap C-c C-t and C-u C-c C-t i.e. C-c C-t cycle through todo states automatically shortcut for todos: - if it is specified by user then use it - otherwise, use the first letter of the name of the todos - if the first letter has been taken, use the subsequent letter - continue until a unique letter is found That mechanism already exists for tags, easy to re-use it. For example, When `C-c C-t', a buffer shows up: -*- buffer -*- = (T)odo (W)aiting (D)elegated (C)ancelled (M)aybe (D)one -*- buffer -*- 'C-n' and 'C-p' can move to the next/previous todo state The arrow indicates the current state. I don't think it is even necessary, to mark the current state. This is important for tags because of inheritance, and because you can change several tags with a single call to C-c C-c. For for a single TODO state change? Only shortcut in the row indicated by the 'arrow' is in effect thus allows (D)one to (D)elegated to co-exist. Well, I think allowing the same letter to mean different things will be confusing and will make this special interface less effective. Some of the points might be also helpful for tags. I can't really see which ones, the TAG interface does all this. - Carsten -- Carsten Dominik Sterrenkundig Instituut Anton Pannekoek Universiteit van Amsterdam Kruislaan 403 NL-1098SJ Amsterdam phone: +31 20 525 7477 ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

No, and to me this feels like too much. If is just
a short reminder, you can simply list the options in the prompt.

I am no longer sure this is a good idea, if at all this will be optional. Here is another suggestion: why not restrict the fast selection to TODO keywords when the point is at TODO keywords, and to tags when the point is on tags? Definitely a NO. Who would want to move the cursor before setting tags??? Another argument to let C-c C-t continue its job is that it is able to distinguish between sequence TODOs and type TODOs. This is extremely useful -- especially when C-c C-t is bound to `org-agenda-todo' and you don't remember whether the expected TODO keywords for a headline are part of a sequence or are types.

I think it doesn't make sense to have `org-agenda-set-category' until we are able to set the category as a property of the headline. For now categories (like the archiving locations) are set by looking *backward* for a line like #+CATEGORY or #+ARCHIVE. When setting the category with `org-agenda-set-category', where should such a line be inserted/modified? Just above the headline? Then storing this headline won't delete the #+CATEGORY line. Just under the headline? Then the headline itself won't be recognized as belonging to that category... See the discussion here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/2898 Please anybody stops me if I'm wrong, but I guess the #+ARCHIVE and #+CATEGORY instructions are slowly dying and will be set as properties in the future. I have been thinking in this direction as well. The only problem is that properties are quite invisible during normal working. But I agree that the multiple #+CATEGORY things in a single file are complex and not very clean, so properties might be better. Then, in the new world, where such #+CONSTRUCTS are only used to set *file* properties (not headlines properties), Yes, I'd like to go there, eventually. it will be okay to set whatever property you want through the column view -- and perhaps the column view itself would be available in the agenda ebuffer it is! ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
