I never used Hyperbole back in the day so this is all fresh for me. I am also 
an avid org-mode user. The following feedback is based on about 48 hours of 
usage.


Hyperbole is a suite of tools. One of them is an outliner that overlaps quite a 
bit with org-mode. It has some interesting features like being able to link 
individual paragraphs as opposed to just headings/sub-headings but in most 
cases org-mode is further along.

But there are other tools in Hyperbole that might interest you including 
Acme-like string execution. For example if you do M-RET on the word README it 
automatically jumps to README without having to go through the rigamarole or 
creating a link in org-mode.


One of the nicest things about Hyperbole is that it's available everywhere. 
Org-mode is a mode and its features are only available in *.org files. For 
instance if you dropped into `eshell` or `ansi-term` and did `ls`, you can move 
point to any of the directory's contents, do M-RET (or Shift-Button2) and jump 
to that file. And that's just one example. Note that this means that all 
Hyperbole functionality is available in *.org files as well. To me, except for 
the Hyperbole outliner, that makes complementary not conflicting. It's 
Hyperbole *and* org-mode, not Hyperbole vs. org-mode.



Additionally, off the bat, I found it very well documented and for me that's a 
proxy for the quality of a package and the maintainer, Robert Weiner is quite 
responsive and really seems to want Hyperbole to take off. There's plenty more 
functionality that I haven't uncovered yet but due to ease of installation and 
quality of documentation digging into it is actually fun; much more 
discoverable than org-mode which has become this giant bag of random directives.


Hyperbole, even though it is old, feels like it is in its second infancy 
meaning it is open to change based on community feedback. As a practical note, 
once you install it doing C-h h d d will fire up a nice Demo which I is think 
is more fun than watching a screencast.

Charles, could you explain a little bit how it compares to Org?  I read
the thread on /r/emacs and looked at the wiki, but I'm still not sure
how it compares to or complements Org.

Me too: I last used it about 20 years ago I think. It then went dormant
afaik and building the version I had saved became harder with every
subsequent emacs release; finally I abandoned it - and a few years later
stumbled onto org-mode!  But it was the first hyperlink system I used
and I have always had a soft spot for it. I just installed it and am
trying it out again. Good to have it back!

small question: Is it possible to get one or more columns to always line up

[Adam Porter]

Joe, thanks for reporting this!  I have been noticing this for a while
now, but I always thought it must have been a config problem on my
end.  (Or maybe it is, and we both have it? haha)

Just to be clear, here's how I seem to experience it:

1.  Clock in any item.
2.  Run org-capture with a template that uses ":clock-in t
:clock-resume t" (and not ":clock-keep t").
3.  Finish the capture.
4.  The capture is still clocked in.  I have to clock-out manually.

Hi all

i have officaly moved over to manage all my dotfiles with orgmode based on
this excellent post:

one thing im missing is how to make some of these tangled sh files
executable after i tangle them (like running chmod +x).

any ideas?

[O] modifying/deleting ovelrays; also, un-sparsifying tree?

[Matt Price]

In my gradesheets I use overlays to display the grade property in headlines
-- that way I can see at a glance approximately how my students are doing:

;; still imperfect, but good enough for me.
(defun org-grading-overlay-headings ()
  "Show grades at end of headlines that have a 'GRADE' property."
  (interactive)
  (require 'ov)

  (org-map-entries
   (lambda ()
 (when (org-entry-get (point) "GRADE")
   (ov-clear (- (line-end-position) 1)
 (+ 0 (line-end-position)))
   (setq ov (make-overlay (- (line-end-position) 1)
  (+ 0 (line-end-position
   (setq character (buffer-substring (- (line-end-position) 1)
(line-end-position)))
   (overlay-put
ov 'display
(format  "%s  GRADE: %s CHITS: %s" character (org-entry-get (point)
"GRADE") (org-entry-get (point) "CHITS")))
   (overlay-put ov 'name "grading")
   (message "%s" (overlay-get ov "name")
  )

This mostly works, except that I've noticed that, when I regenerate the
overlays after changes, certain folded trees end up with a duplicate
overlay, for reasons that I don't quite understand (maybe because the
ellipses at the end of the fold interfere with my counting somehow)?
I ould like to be able to find the named overlays and remove them all at
once, something like this:

(defun matt-clear-overlay ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((all-overlays (overlays-in (point-min) (point-max
(dolist (x all-overlays)
  (if (string= (overlay-get x "name") "grading")
  (delete-overlay x)
   ;; sorry for hanging brackets, I know it's bad form

this doesn't seem to do anything, so maybe I'm not testing right, or I'm
misnderstanding overlays. In any case ,I would love to be able to locate
the overlays properly, and modify or delete-and-recreate them
appropriately. Can you guys help out? Just clearing all overlays is not a
good option, as org seems to make heavy use of them to hide e.g. property
drawers.

An unrelated simple question: if I make a sparse tree (e.g. by searching
for all subtrees with a "GRADE" property of "0" or "FAIL",), can i
un-sparsify hte buffer afterwards? I didn't immediately find that option in
the manual.

thanks everyone!

I don't know. You may want to have a look at

[O] Bug: Reading currently clocked headline interferes with org-capture-finalize [8.3.4 (8.3.4-93-g0d72c3-elpaplus @ /home/joe/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160627/)]

[Joe Schafer]

I have a function to save the currently clocked item into a file so I
can display it in my terminal.  The hook seems to interfere with
org-capture.  If I capture something the following
happens:

1. org-capture dialog appears
2. Fill-in capture.  The capture is clocked-in.
3. Finish capture with C-c C-c
4. The capture is still clocked in.  The clock should go back to the
previous clocked-in entry.

Trying to bisect the issue was difficult.  Sometimes the new capture would
clock-out, but the original entry would not clock back in.  Other times
the clock would be left running in the new capture entry.

The smallest example I could get is:

(defun my:org-get-clocked-in-headline ()
  "Get the headline of the currently clocked in headline.
If no headline is clocked in, then return an empty string."
  (interactive)
  (with-current-buffer (marker-buffer org-clock-marker)
(goto-char org-clock-marker)))

(defun my:org-save-clocked-in-entry-to-file ()
  "Save currently clocked-in task to a file."
  (with-temp-buffer
(insert (my:org-get-clocked-in-headline

(add-hook 'org-clock-in-hook #'my:org-save-clocked-in-entry-to-file)

For reference, here's the full code I'm using

(defun my:org-get-clocked-in-headline ()
  "Get the headline of the currently clocked in headline.
If no headline is clocked in, then return an empty string."
  (interactive)
  (if (not (org-clocking-p))
  ""
(with-current-buffer (marker-buffer org-clock-marker)
  (save-excursion
(save-restriction
  (when (or (< org-clock-marker (point-min)) (>
org-clock-marker (point-max)))
(widen))
  (goto-char org-clock-marker)
  (org-no-properties (org-get-heading 'no-tags 'no-todo)))

(defvar my:org-clocked-in-file-path "/tmp/org-currently-clocked-in-task"
  "Where to save the currently clocked in task for all to see.")

(defun my:org-save-clocked-in-entry-to-file ()
  "Save currently clocked-in task to a file."
  (let ((last-message (current-message))
;; Suppress echo area to see clock out information.  Doesn't
seem to
;; work, so we'll just re-display last-message.
(inhibit-message nil))
(with-temp-buffer
  (insert (my:org-get-clocked-in-headline))
  (write-region (point-min) (point-max)
my:org-clocked-in-file-path))
(message last-message)))

(add-hook 'org-clock-in-hook #'my:org-save-clocked-in-entry-to-file)
(add-hook 'org-clock-out-hook #'my:org-save-clocked-in-entry-to-file)
(add-hook 'org-clock-cancel-hook #'my:org-save-clocked-in-entry-to-file)
