Re: [O] Working on iPad Pro

The issue with the smart keyboard is that it does not have an ESC key.

Re: [O] Working on iPad Pro

[Ido Magal]

I'm in the same boat. 

The ios app Serverauditor is the only one I've found (of many tested) that 
sends Alt as Meta. 

You'll want to use the Homebrew color scheme otherwise the cursor is invisible. 
(Would be too easy if it didn't require any troubleshooting, right?)

Unfortunately C-c comes across as "pause" and I don't know how to resolve this 
and it's a nuisance so I've gone gui. If anyone knows the solution, please do 
tell. 

My current preferred solution is using a Kangaroo PC and Splashtop to control 
it with the iPad.

Kangaroo is a display-less pocket PC running Win10. You can purchase them from 
newegg or the MS store. 

 Splashtop is the lowest latency wireless solution I've found and (importantly) 
the only one that supports the smart keyboard. Previously I would use OSLinx or 
DuetDisplay for wired latency but with a separate Bluetooth keyboard for the PC.

The Kangaroo PC is very weak but it works well enough for emacs.

Cheers.

Re: [O] New issue with capture

[Ido Magal]

For the benefit of future archive-reading generations, I isolated the issue
to a bug in the emacs head revision at the time I built it. Re-fetching and
building fixed it.

Re: [O] New issue with capture

[Ido Magal]

This is GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1 (i386-apple-darwin11.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.23)

I've reduced my .emacs to the following:

=
(setq org-capture-templates
  '(("t" "Task" entry (file+datetree "~/org/tasks.org")
 "** next %?")))
=

~/org/tasks.org may not exist for this to repro. It repros either way.


Repro steps:

1. M-x org-capture

2. enter anything

3. C-c C-c

Result:
"byte-code: To bind the key M-DEL, use "\M-\d", not [M-DEL]"

4. C-c C-c again.

Result:
"save-restriction: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil"

5. Kill the 'CAPTURE-tasks.org' buffer. (C-x k)

6. repeat steps 1-3
Result: Success(!?)



Thanks for investigating!

[O] New issue with capture

[Ido Magal]

When I attempt to org-capture-finalize, I get

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
  org-capture-bookmark-last-stored-position()
  org-capture-finalize(nil)

I'm running Org version 7.8.03 out of ELPA and Emacs 24 out of Brew.

I'd appreciate any assistance.

Re: [O] Editing Org files on the iPad

[Ido Magal]

I'm in the same boat. I found that Nebulous Notes is a suitable plain text
editor. I enter data into a inbox.org on dropbox and refile them when back
at a desktop.

I'd easily pay for an ios or web text editor that had rudimentary org syntax
support, such as collapsing drawers and indenting headings.

[O] Agenda global list tweak

[Ido Magal]

I have nested tasks that are much harder to parse when presented in the
unindented agenda view.

I would like to replace the CATEGORY column with a column that shows the
parent of the task.

So instead of

todo.txtmow lawn
todo.txtclean mower
todo.txtbuy fuel

i'd see

todo.txt  mow lawn
mow lawn   clean mower
mow lawn   buy fuel

Is this easy to do?

[O] IDs

[Ido Magal]

Is it possible to suppress the creation of IDs? And what might be the
consequences of doing so?

Org-mode tends to add IDs and it makes files less readable outside of Emacs.

Re: [O] Org-toggle-checkbox broken in 7.5?

[Ido Magal]

I grossly misunderstood.  org-toggle-checkbox ( C-c C-c, C-c C-x C-b) works
correctly.

I expected org-toggle-checkbox to toggle from

- item

to

- [ ] item

and obviously it doesn't do this.

Sorry for the noise.  Carry on.

Please report back when you identify the issue.

I regularly get latest org and have never gotten org-toggle-checkbox

Fair enough.  It never occurred to me that emacs might not support the

Re: [O] TAB

[Ido Magal]

Perfect! Thanks!

To the powers that be I'd recommend adding a note, explaining how to get a
literal TAB, in the following two places:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Visibility-cycling.html
http://orgmode.org/orgcard.txt

These are the top results for googling "orgmode tab"

Cheers!

[O] Custom Agenda that partially skips entries

[Ido Magal]

I'd appreciate assistance in constructing a custom agenda that accomplishes
the following (if possible):

1. Block of week's agenda.
2. Block of "next" items that have no schedule ( items that don't show up in
block 1 )

This is my starting point:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(("n" "Next tasks"
 ((todo "next")))
 ("A" "agenda"
 ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 7)))
  (todo "next")
  ))
))

The problem here is that I get duplicates because _all_ 'next' items show up
in the second block.  I'd rather that only unscheduled items showed there.

I thought that this would do it, but it fails:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  '(("n" "Next tasks"
 ((todo "next")))
 ("A" "agenda"
 ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 7)))
  ((todo "next")
   (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'deadline
'scheduled)))
  ))
))

Thanks in advance.

 Same here, except I also have a dblock that links to my most recently
modified files to remind myself what I was working on last.

In .emacs I have:

(defun org-dblock-write:recently-modified (params)
  (insert (mapconcat (lambda (arg) (concat "[[file:" arg "][" arg "]]" ))
(split-string (shell-command-to-string "ls -t ~/org *.org | head -5"))

and my startup page looks like this:
--

...my stuff...

[O] How to move tasks in agenda view

[Ido Magal]

Hi,

I capture tasks in a date-tree task-diary file.  I'm at the point where I
would like to extract a particular set of tasks (in this case, all tasks of
a particular tag) into a separate file.  It's really easy to set the agenda
view to isolate the tasks, but what's a reasonable way to select those items
and move them into a new file?

Thanks in advance.

Q2: The link generated for the last item ("broken link") does not work.
 Removing the "%" from the URL fixes it.  This seems to be a bug
in org-make-org-heading-search-string?  Or am I misusing it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.  Removing package.el and replacing (required 'org) with (required
'org-install) fixed it.  I still don't know what the difference is but I
seem to be functional now.

I've gotten the fix and am trying to verify it, however I keep seeing

>File local-variables error: (invalid-function org-save-outline-visibility)

I'm not sure if it's relevant or not.  This is my test file:


# -*- eval: (org-babel-execute-buffer) -*-

src_sh[:results append]{ls -t ~/org/ *.txt|head -5}

I'm missing something.  This does not evaluate with

Instead, I see "Ann", which is a category that is used in another section of
the org file. What is going on here?

Re: [Orgmode] Embedded code

[Ido Magal]

So I was able to construct the following functioning bit of code from
someone else recent post:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results output raw
(defun tagged (tag &optional scope)
 (let ((entries ()))
   (org-map-entries
 (lambda ()
   (add-to-list 'entries
(list (concat "[[" (nth 4 (org-heading-components))
"]]"
 tag scope)

   (sort entries (lambda (f s)
(string-lessp (car f) (car s))

(tagged "buy" 'agenda)
#+end_src

I have a few elementary questions I hope someone can bother to answer:

1. It seems that when org prints a list, it automatically formats it into a
table.  In lisp, what's a proper way of converting a list to a string so I
can have more control over the format?  My first attempts were unsuccessful.

2. I'd like to use Org's macros to replace

#+begin_src
(tagged "foo")
#+end_src

with

{{{(tagged "foo")}}}

but Org macros only expand on export.  Would it be feasible to change the
macro functionality and hook into file loading?  Or is there some other way
I can slim these down to be terse?

Re: [Orgmode] Embedded code

[Ido Magal]

Excellent.

Now that I see that it's possible, I'm struggling to find sufficient
examples to help me understand how to go about writing the bits of lisp that
would allow to me create useful blocks of org-mode code, such as a
back-links block or a list of links to entries of a certain tag.  I'm
lisp-illiterate but I was expecting that if it was possible then someone had
already done it and that I could cut and paste my way to success.

Do these examples exist?  Does anyone use babel to extend the functionality
of the note organizing aspect of org-mode?  All of the babel examples I've
found relate to manipulating content for export as opposed to enhancing
organizational utility.

Cheers and thanks again.

Re: [Orgmode] Embedded code

[Ido Magal]

Eric,

thanks.  This is great.

Couple of followups:

1. Is it possible to avoid the confirmations on every file load?
2. Is it possible to manipulate or reference the results so that they're not
bound to a RESULTS block.  I'm finding all of the blocks of orgmode
distracting and I'm trying to avoid and eliminate them as much as possible.
 I'm not used to it and they really impedes the readability of my notes.
 Ideally my notes would look something like this:

* note 1
* note 2

* Back-links to this note:
(backlinks-function)
* All notes tagged with /foo/
(tagged-with( foo ))
* All notes tagged with /bar/
(tagged-with( bar ))

Is this possible?

Thanks again.  Cheers.

[Orgmode] Embedded code

[Ido Magal]

Hello,

Is it possible to put code in a document such that it gets evaluated
when the document is opened?  For example, I'd like to have a
link-back section in each note. I'm aware of babel but I neither
understand how to make it auto-evaluate on open nor do i know if
making it compact ( and avoid separate code and result blocks ) is
possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Is it possible to put a block of code in a document such that it gets
evaluated when the document is opened?  For example, I'd like to have
a link-back section in each note.

I'm aware of babel but I neither understand how to make it auto-evaluate on
open nor do i know if
making it compact ( and avoid having code and result blocks ) is possible.
 I see examples where it's used for export but haven't seen one for general
org usage.

[Orgmode] archive-done-tasks

[Ido Magal]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to org-mode and I'm trying to incorporate this bit of code into my
setup:

archive-done-tasks

However when I run it it seems to hang emacs (osx) terminally.  Since emacs,
org-mode, and lisp are all alien to me, there's no shortage of places where
I could be failing so I'll spare details of my setup until it's confirmed
that that code should still work ( it's from 2007 and I don't see that it's
been integrated into org-mode proper ).

Thanks in advance.
