Re: is it possible to choose a completion engine?

[Samuel Wales]

i guess menu selection is a kind of completion and frameworks coud be
used also.  a big thing for me that works with ido and ido-hacks and
ido-clever-match is olpath completion for refile-goto and refile.

I can see that you are not using the latest Org release.
May you please update to Org 9.6.6 and then let us know if you are still seeing

[BUG] org-capture, level-2 heading, org-set-tags-command [9.6.6 ( @ /Users/pu/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6.6/)]

[Patrick Useldinger]

Hello

I've come across what seems to be a bug in org-element-cache handling.

To reproduce:
1) create a level 1 heading (in my case: "CAPTURE") and a level 2 heading
(in my case: "CAPTURE-TEST")
2) create a similar template to file tasks under a level-2 heading:
("x" "Todo (test)" entry
(file+olp "~/Workcloud/org/WORK.org" "CAPTURE" "CAPTURE-TEST")
"* TODO %^{Task Description}"
:prepend t)
3) create a task using this template (x)
4) while in the narrowed buffer, try to tag the task using C-c C-q
(org-set-tags-command)

This will hang. Pressing C-g helps you recover, the stack trace being
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
  #f(compiled-function () #)()
  org-element--parse-to(77445)
  org-element-cache-map(#f(compiled-function (el) #))
  org-get-buffer-tags()
  org-set-tags-command(nil)
  funcall-interactively(org-set-tags-command nil)
  call-interactively(org-set-tags-command nil nil)
  command-execute(org-set-tags-command)

Disabling the cache with (setq org-element-use-cache nil) solves the
problem.
As does dropping "CAPTURE-TEST" in the template (i.e. putting the task
under a level-1 heading instead of level-2).

[FR] Enhance footnote editing?

[Andrea Lazzarini]

I have recently developed a very simple package, org-footnote-assistant (link:
https://github.com/lazzalazza/org-footnote-assistant), which aims to enhance the
functionality and user experience of footnotes within Org Mode. It mainly uses
an indirect buffer to try to solve the problem of limited inline viewing of
footnotes, making it easier to review and modify content without disrupting your
workflow. I recently shared this package via Reddit, and it received, I think, a
fairly positive feedback from the community.

The org-footnote-assistant package introduces several features that improve the
management and editing of footnotes in Org Mode. The features include commands
for easy navigation between footnote references. Users can quickly jump to the
next reference or return to the previous one, ensuring a smooth editing
workflow.

The positive feedback and interest received on Reddit (and a comment by
alphapapa) have encouraged me to explore the possibility of integrating some of
these features upstream to prevent bitrot, ensure wider accessibility, and
leverage the collaborative power of the Org Mode community for their continued
maintenance and development.

I kindly request your feedback, evaluation, and suggestions regarding the
org-footnote-assistant package. I don’t know if some of these features might be
useful upstream, but I believe that your insights and expertise will be
invaluable in refining and optimizing these features for the benefit of all Org
Mode users.

Thank you,

Andrea Lazzarini

AFAIK, Eldoc expects a function that will return the string to be
displayed. You can use `font-lock-ensure' to fontify the footnote
definition you need to display. Then, the copied string will hold the
fontification as it would be in Org mode buffer.

I see nothing in git history and mailing list.
I think that it makes sense to convert org-footnote-delete into
interactive function.

The `+' (or `-') sign is needed for tags matching.

Change colour of hyperlinks in Beamer presentation

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

In my Beamer presentation the hyperlinks, all URLs, appear as normal
text and can only be identified by the change in the cursor when the
mouse moves over them.

How can I change the colour of such links? 

I have already several lines such as 

  #+LATEX_HEADER: \setbeamercolor{title}{fg=mFubMainGreen}

to tweak the appearance, but wasn't able to find an appropriate keyword
for URLs.

Cheers,

Loris

Eldoc (or tooltips) could be great for previewing: I'm going to give them a try
and to see how they might be integrated in an academic writing workflow.
I wander if they would maintain buffer-specific highlighting though...

Yep! It is, and that's also very good to know: I am sorry but this totally flew

That was nothing more than a simple wrapper for org-footnote-delete, which
is not an interactive function: btw, I am curious to know if there is a reason 
for
that. Why should users re-implement org-footnote-delete with wrappers if 
they want to use it interactively?

Many thanks!

This is because you customized your tags/todo keywords to have a quick
key binding to set. By default, Org uses custom "fast" interface for
completion in such cases. You can either remove the bindings to
explicitly set `org-use-fast-tag-selection' and/or
`org-use-fast-todo-selection' to nil.

I am not sure if indirect buffer is the right approach for _previews_.
It is more common in Emacs to either use eldoc or tooltips.
You may use
https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/seamlessly-merge-multiple-documentation-sources-eldoc
as reference about eldoc.

This sounds like something we can extend `org-forward-element' and
`org-backward-element' with - it may not only jump to the next element,
but also jump to the next element of the same type. Jumping to next/previous
footnote might will useful as a separate command as well though, as a
complement to the existing `org-next-item', `org-next-link',
`org-next-block', etc.

"Footnote Editing Window" sounds like a duplicate of the existing C-c '
functionality (`org-edit-special').

"Customized Footnote Definition Jumping" does not sound too different
from editing window. May you elaborate why it is useful?

I am not sure if I understand what "Enhanced Footnote Reference
Searching" does from its description.

"Eeasier Footnote Deletion": How is it different from `org-footnote-delete'?

[PATCH] lisp/org.el: allow org-return to call org-open-at-point on citations

[Bruno Cardoso]

Hello everyone.

This patch is a tiny change that allows `org-return' to call 
`org-open-at-point' when cursor is over org-cite citations.

Best,

Bruno.

[FR] Enhancing footnote managment (via indirect buffer)?

[Andrea Lazzarini]

I am writing to you because I have recently published a simple package called
org-footnote-assistant [https://github.com/lazzalazza/org-footnote-assistant],
which aims at improving the overall functionality and user experience of 
footnotes
within Org Mode.

The current management of footnotes has certain limitations that can sometimes
hinder the overall user experience. One major limitation is the limited inline
viewing of footnotes, which makes it challenging to review and modify footnote
content precisely and without disrupting the workflow.

Org-footnote-assistant addresses the limitations of inline viewing of footnotes
by using an indirect buffer.The package also provides commands for easy
navigation between footnote references, enabling quick jumps to the next or
previous reference.

On Reddit I have been encouraged to seek your feedback and explore the
possibility of integrating some of these features upstream to prevent bitrot and
ensure wider accessibility, and I am of course open to any suggestion or input.

Best,

Andrea Lazzarini

That's your setting, no? It looks like you have no equivalent of AM/PM
in your locale, so %p expands to empty string, prepended by space, as
you instructed. On my side, your value of
`org-time-stamp-custom-formats' works just fine.

It will not catch anything automatically - you likely need to do
interactive debugging here.
I provided an example in https://cubeatic.com/index.php/s/iQakFWXgxsJzyXP
Hope it helps.

This is not useful for infinite loop - the logic might be faulty here or
some third-party package doing something weird. We instead need to
identify how to reproduce the problem, so that I can diagnose further on

how to insert, interactively org-time-stamp with any time

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Using C-u C-c .

Prompts a date and the actual time, however how can I change the actual
time? No key seems to allow that, so only end up with for example

<2023-05-22 09:45>

But I would like for example to chose 

<2023-05-22 16:45>

How can I achieve that?


BTW the way the time stamp is displayed is

<22.05.2023 09:45 >

While 
,
| org-time-stamp-formats is a variable defined in ‘org_init.el’.
| 
| Its value is ("<%Y-%m-%d>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %H:%M>")
`

And my setting is 

 '(org-time-stamp-custom-formats '("%d.%m.%Y" . "%d.%m.%Y %I:%M %p"))


Not sure what the %p
