[O] Org-babel bash session with non-standard prompt
Hi, If the value for PS1 variable is set to something that doesn't end with a `$` or `#`, org-babel hangs while using a fixed :session. To overcome this, I can do the following at the start of a sh org-babel session: #+begin_src bash :session s :results verbatim drawer export PS1='$ ' ls -lah #+end_src And this works ^. I would like to know if I can somehow pass the environment variable to the shell that org-babel starts for the session. I don't want to add it to a snippet and do not want to type it every time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -- Narendra Joshi

I think you can adjust the format of this with some variable. `org-agenda-prefix-format` has a specifier "%s" for scheduling information. There must be a variable/function for formatting scheduling information.

[O] Searching all attachments in org-files
Hi, Is there a way to quick get a link to an existing attachment? A lot of times, I find myself referring to the same file.

I have faced something similar (or maybe not very similar) while using
`org-publish' for my static blog. I wanted to wrap everything inside
body in a container and a row (bootstrap classes). The functions
provided do not let me do this conveniently. I can define `content',
`preamble' and `postamble' but cannot wrap all three of them inside a
`div' without overriding the whole export function.

>From doc string for `org-capture-templates`:

A default value and a completion table ca be specified like this:
%^{prompt|default|completion2|completion3|...}.
I think to get completion you would need to dynamically build the value
for `org-capture-templates` which would include the completion
candidates for reach field. I think that's not a great way to do
it. Someone else can suggest a better way, I think.

Found an already asked question that might help:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-04/msg00373.html
You can set org-agenda-sorting-strategy to `user-defined-up' and use the
function used in the thread I have posted above to compare two NEXT entries.

Do you write your email with Org-mode? I have seen a lot of people
writing the source code blocks and surprising they are syntax
highlighted in Gnus. This makes me wonder if `org-mode' has support for
writing emails too.
Thanks for the info about new keywords. :)
