Hi Carsten Carsten Dominik wrote: this was an intentional change, I thought that a simple command to get rid of a checkbox was more important. I have put setting to [-] back in now, but you will need a double prefix Thanks for doing that. The 6.22b manual needs updating on p46 (half-way down). I hate to come across as awkward, but I'd like to find out how others use checkboxes and their opinion of this change. I use checkboxes daily. Largely as a sub-set of mini-todos under a main todo heading. For example, I have a computer in for a fix, and as I work on it removing bits or changing settings, I'll quickly add a new line (`M-S-RET') to remind me to revert the changes afterwards. Mini-example of being part-way working through the finished list with a defrag kicked off: *** TODO Finish up - [X] Uninstall WinPcap driver - [X] Uninstall UltraVNC - [-] Defrag - [ ] Reset screen resolution to 1280x854 I've not used the new ability to convert lines to/from checkboxes, although I can see how it could be useful, especially on a block of items. But, there are a couple of things I'd like to get a feel for from others using checkboxes heavily: Taking the example above, and doing `C-u C-c C-c' on the defrag line, I don't see why this result *** TODO Finish up - [X] Uninstall WinPcap driver - [X] Uninstall UltraVNC - Defrag - [ ] Reset screen resolution to 1280x854 should be more important/useful/common than the previous pending state. Converting items to/from checkboxes, I should have thought, would have been something done once, whereas manipulating the state of a checkbox was something that is done more often. So I think that `C-u C-c C-c' should stay as toggle pending state and `C-u C-u C-c C-c' (less frequently used?) should be remove checkbox. Also, why then doesn't (currently) `C-u C-c C-c' put a checkbox back in? I do so much want to stress how I don't want to criticise your fabulous code.

The reason for this assumption is that as of now, you are the only person *I know* who uses this have-ready state of checkboxes. Given the fact that I every now and then do need to remove a checkbox, this seemed the logical choice to me. But I am glad you bring it up, it is perfectly possible that I see it wrong and that it would be better to reverse the action of single and double prefix argument. Converting items to/from checkboxes, I should have thought, would have been something done once, whereas manipulating the state of a checkbox was something that is done more often.

Also, why then doesn't (currently) `C-u C-c C-c' put a checkbox back in? The reason for this is technical. `C-c C-c' is a context-sensitive key. If there is a checkbox, the context is checkbox and it calls org-toggle-checkbox, which does do the interpretation of the prefix argument. If the context is just item, not checkbox, so it is less clear to the context detector what should be done. You can try this by using the direct key for org-toggle-checkbox, `C-c C-x C-b'. It will re-insert a checkbox (in fact even without a prefix arg because there is nothing else to do). I do so much want to stress how I don't want to criticise your fabulous code.

Although this is workable around by making trailing blank lines not split the outline, it seems worth pointing out the inconsistency for completeness.

However, calling org-todo to set a todo state with (setf org-log-state-notes-into-drawer t) inserts a logbook drawer and then a blank line. I have it on my list of things to look into. Also, re ellipsis: Is it possible in emacs to distinguish the org-ellipsis for nodes that have only drawers from the org-ellipsis for nodes that have body text?

[Orgmode] Help with binding new key to change task state
Hi all, The org manual talks about using C-u C-c C-t to change the state of a task. This command nicely throws up a list of several intermediate states to choose from. In addition, I have logging turned on, so each time I do this, I can log a note about the state change. I am merely trying to bind this to a simpler set of keys. I know C-c C-t is bound to org-todo, but can't figure out what C-u C-c C-t binds to (describe-key stops at C-u). Or then, maybe I don't know Emacs/Org well enough yet. Any suggestions?

[Orgmode] [PATCH] fast tag selection interface
As a result of the 40 variables thread and assorted worg tutorials,
I'm getting a little carried away with customising my workflow.
Consequently, my tag list have grown to the extent that the fast tags
selection interface is looking rather messy.
The small patch below adds the capability to create arbitrary new
lines, either by adding \n (backslash n, not a newline!) to your #
+TAGS: or by adding (:newline . nil) to org-tag-alist.
So I can have something like:
-
[a] @assorted [g] @gtd [c] @contexts
[o] other [r] relevant [t] tags
[m] more [f] for [d] different [p] projects
-
The patch is a very hacky cut and paste job with little understanding
of the surrounding code, but I don't seem to have broken anything in
my setup yet...
Best wishes,
Christopher

[Orgmode] Custom agenda views: todo-state-down
I'm having a little difficulty with org-agenda-sorting-strategy: If I create a tags or tags-todo view, then todo-state-down (or todo- state-up) appears to be ignored. For example: - (P Priority #A tasks tags-todo +PRIORITY=\A\ ((org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t) (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(todo-state-down effort-up category- keep)) (org-agenda-overriding-header Priority #A tasks: ))) - fails to sort by todo-state. On the other hand: - (Qt TODO entries - @mac alltodo ((org-agenda-files (list ~/Sites/org/mac_A.org)) (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down todo-state-down category-keep)) (org-agenda-overriding-header TODO entries - @mac: ))) - sorts as expected. Interestingly, if the second example is included as part of a block agenda, then it also fails. Any suggestions?

This is no use to people like myself, who want to use the same .el files in XEmacs and Emacs due to incompatible .elc problems. Its also no use to people who do no have a build system or make binary installed e.g. windows users, locked down linux/unix systems etc. How about adding a skeleton org-install.el that gets overwritten by the make? org-install.el is part of the distribution tar and zip files. I cannot include it into the git repo because the git people tell me that it is a bad idea to keep a product file under git control (Bernt?). The main reason this is a bad idea in git master branch is that the file gets automatic changes on different systems and looks modified after each time you run make. This file gets in the way of other (real) changes since git thinks the working tree is dirty and prevents changing branches, rebasing, or merging with a dirty tree. The contents of the org-install.el file are uninteresting and really does not belong in the tracked files for the project since it is a product of the build procedure. If you want a skeleton org-install.el in the tar/zip files then you probably should generate that when producing the tar/zip files. -Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] RE: Help with binding new key to change task state
Thanks for your reply. The first trick worked fine. For the second problem though, I 'd not like to cycle through the states. That's coz each time I change the state, I have to log it. So I am trying to define a single key that lets me jump straight to the DONE state (from any other state). C-c C-t C-c works okay coz the last 'c' chooses the DONE state from the menu. Any ideas how I can define a simpler key for this? Thanks.

[Orgmode] org-agenda-follow-mode and vertical buffers
Hi, All my headlines tend to be quite short with a fair amount of notes so when I'm looking at my agenda it's very useful for me to have the follow mode on. Unfortunately the horizontal buffer causes me quite a bit of pain drastically reducing the amount of items I can see at one time while half of my screen is completely empty. I've tried to look at org-agenda.el but while I see where that's defined and set I can't find where it's used and the decision about the type of buffer made. Can anybody help please? I'm pretty new so I'm not sure what other buffers orgmode can create, but I guess you could also have an option to just create vertical buffers rather than hack something specific to the follow mode. thanks -- Behind every great man there's a great backpack - B. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
