[Orgmode] org priority cycling - removing priorities

It would be great if SHIFT-up/SHIFT-down would cycle through: [#A] [#B] [#C] _ - blank (i.e. no priority). This way I could easily undo the operation with the same keys.

[Orgmode] Blorg problems
Hi all,
I've recently started investigating blorg (sorry David) with the hope of
using it (and org-mode) to start a blog. Unfortunately I've run into a
few issues, and would appreciate some help.
--
Firstly it appears that my paragraphs don't render as such from memory I
have something like the following:
* DONE Post title
CLOSED: [2007-07-16 Mon 12:43]
blah blah blah blah blah blah...
This should be a new paragraph, but when converted to html isn't (i.e.
it is not enclosed in p tags, and it merges with the blah blah blah's
above.
--
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way around this?
I've also run into some other small problems:
- The time of the post is always rendered something like +00 00 and not
12:43 This isn't a big problem as I've just disabled it with the format
string)
- It's not clear how to render images in the output, i.e. with a img
src=.../.
- The format of Echoes appears to be fixed, yet I'd like to use them to
generate a different order as I'd like to include the following HTML
snippet (forgive me I can't remember the names of the includable
properties):
div class=delicious-blogbadge-line
id=(post-id-or-url)
script type=text/javascript
Delicious.BlogBadge.register('(post-id-or-url)', '(post-url)',
'(post-title)');
/script
/div
It would also be great if somebody could create an example blorg.org
file which demonstrated all the org markup in a test-blog.
In the future I'd also like a mechanism for exporting code blocks into
the html (ideally with emacs syntax highlighting). It would be great if
the org-mode colon syntax could be used to do this, e.g:
: public int randomNumber() {
:return 3; //guaranteed random number (was a fair dice roll) (xkcd)
: }
I seem to remember having some other small problems and ideas about the
whole thing, which if I remember I'll post here. Anyway, if I can get
the paragraphs and image export working, I should be able to start blorging.
Also does anyone know of any blogs online using blorg?
Thanks again,
R

I personally find I spend a lot of time trying to re-acquire my previous context within a particular task, something like this might help. Actually, after thinking about this; I realise that Emacs has bookmarks (a feature I've not yet put to use) perhaps a better idea would be to integrate these with org-mode and visiting the file via the agenda? What do people think? I'm not sure I understand it. You place a token (you were using ++) in the body under an outline item. Then when you select the item from agenda, instead of putting the cursor on that headline, it will look for (the first?) line with that token in it's subtree. If the token does not exist in the subtree it just places the cursor on the heading. Is this what you are suggesting? (If not then the rest of my comment may be off.) Apologies for my poor explanation but yes this is precisely what I'm talking about. First, I avoid losing context in a different way. I have one emacs session that is always running to take care of 'administrative matter' and it is were I do most of my org-mode/project planning and tracking. When I'm in the middle of doing something with a project, I have it's tree open in an indirect buffer. I have one frame with just agenda's todo list in it for reporting and another frame with three windows (or so) so I can look at a few things at once. Since each project is in it's own buffer, I can get context just be where I left the cursor. For my uses, what I would love is a way to have org-mode remember how a subtree was folded so I could hide a subtree and then reopen it later with all of it children exposed or hidden as they were before. I like to use hiding for context in a project, but I get by without it. I've never knowingly used indirect buffers, and I'll certainly take a look at them as I can see how I might find them useful. I frequently use org-narrow-to-subtree which I find useful for hiding irrelevant details. Incidentally it would be nice to be able to set follow mode to automatically narrow to the current agenda selection. I've personally taken to using follow mode, and having my org-mode Emacs session split vertically into two panes, with the agenda on the right. I then navigate my org file via the open agenda buffer with follow mode. I'm guessing that your method doesn't (easily) allow you to jump from the agenda to your projects indirect buffer, which is a feature I quite like using. Getting back to your suggestion, I have an idea. First pick a good token. I don't care for ++ because it means something in C code, but I think you could get a way with picking your own token here. Next, I wonder if there is a search subtree? I didn't see it in on a quick search of the manual, but I could have missed it if it exists. If it doesn't exist, I think it might be handy here and in other places. With a subtree search, you could search out the token after agenda takes you to the project tree. You could make a custom key binding to search for you token. Also, if there is a hook that runs after agenda takes you to a heading, you might be able to put this search there. That all depends on a few things. Does subtree search exist or should it? Is a key binding good enough for a find-next-jump-point function? Is there (or should there be) a hook that runs after agenda takes you to a heading? Good suggestions, and it did occur to me that I might be able to implement this as a personal extension to org-mode, and I'm sure for someone with good Emacs fu, this would take 5 minutes. For me? Well it might be a nice motivating exercise to learn some more elisp :) Anyway, it's always good to have a discussion about how people are using and extending org-mode.

I'm usually for collapsing similar things in to one more flexible thing, but there is a lot of meaning attached to something being a todo entry in the outline as opposed to being a mere checkbox in a list. Some times it would be nice to steal a feature of one and use it on the other, but the implicit difference is too useful I think to collapse them. Agreed. My gut feeling is that they fulfill largely different purposes. The problem is that I tend to make a decision to structure something with lists checkboxes, and later on discover I want an item in the list to appear inside the agenda. Duplicating this into an outline is one way to achieve this; but this presents several problems: - Your files rapidly become less DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and harder to maintain. - You loose the context of the list (i.e. any notion of sequence) I guess these are the sorts of use-cases/trade-offs we should be discussing as part of David O'Toole's community writing suggestion.

Re: [Orgmode] iCal Import
I'm quite excited by the Google calendar/iCal integration. I had previously written a simple Ruby script (I really need to learn elisp) to parse an org-mode file for dates and schedule some at jobs to fire another script to fire events into Twitter, which I was subsequently using as a free SMS reminder service. It worked quite well in simple tests, but I've never bothered to develop it further, primarily because it occured to me that google calendar supports free SMSing of notifications and that this could potentially be tied into org-mode with the g-client code. It seems that your code is about getting gcal into org-mode where as the above would require the reverse. Obviously the ideal would be to have some level of two-way Calendar synchronisation. Though this might be far too complex and messy, how about allowing some kind of emacs based copy/paste between them (in both directions)? The thought of managing myself in org-mode and syncing to Gcal when I want to share/expose my calendar to others is a tempting proposition; I imagine this coupled with SMS reminders would be great. Anyway, as my elisp skills are no more advanced than being able to copy and paste fragments of elisp; I thought I'd post my ideas to see whether anyone else finds them interesting enough to implement.

There's no question that org-mode is a fantastic tool for organising yourself. Its power comes from it not imposing a structure or workflow on you. Unfortunately; this means that it takes commitment and time before you become proficient. When you have a small system going in org-mode you can get away with mistakes, unfortunately as you add more information it gets harder if the structures you've defined don't scale. The various org-mode guides out there are a great start, but I like you think we need something more.

[Orgmode] 4.69 and Multiple TODO Sequences in a file
Wow! Barely a week from submitting the idea, and it's implemented in org-mode! This is great! A minor issue I have with the implementation is that it if you have enabled: #+STARTUP: lognotestate org-mode will prompt you for a note when transitioning between different sequences in addition to when cycling through a specific sequence. I can imagine there may be situations where you would want to be able to hop between sequences, and log the notestates as you do. However I'd like to ONLY be prompted for a note when transitioning within a sequence e.g with the following sequences: #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE #+SEQ_TODO: BUGREPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED #+SEQ_TODO: FEATUREREQUEST APPROVED IMPLEMENTED When transitioning from TODO - DONE or from BUGREPORT - BUG etc (with M-left/right), I'd like to be prompted for a note, but when cycling through TODO - BUGREPORT - FEATUREREQUEST (with C-M-left/right) I'd like there to be no prompting or logging. I'm guessing this would be the behavior most people would expect, and a reasonable default with a variable to allow logging of transitions between sequences. Though I might be wrong :) Anyway, thanks a million for implementing multiple sequences! R. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

Carsten Dominik wrote: No, this does not work. Could be done, of course, but adds complexity, and I am sure once it is there, people will want to switch TODO keywords constantly, filling the entire file with new #+TODO statements. Does not feel right. How about the following alternative: Just make a long sequence containing all the subsequences, like #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED TODO WAITING VERIFY DONE You can then use command like `M-5 C-c C-t' (or `5 t' in the agenda) to jump to TODO in this sequence. Basically, you need to remember where in your list the different sequences start, put items onto the right starting point, and then work through your states. Hmmm, looking at this it might actually be useful to allow additional DONE states in the middle of the sequence, but this will at least currently lead to problems, both when cycling from DONE to nothing to TODO, and also in the highlighting of TODO keywords in the agenda. I'll check if I can fix these small issues. I can see that my suggestion would add complexity in both code and org files.

Maybe we could use the same grouping conventions than for tags :
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT INPROGRESS WAITING { ACHIEVED DONE }
That would make it easy to have several states and just a few logging
steps. Consider the next sequence being just *three* states :
#+SEQ_TODO: { TODO NEXT } { INPROGRESS WAITING } { ACHIEVED DONE }
`- state 1 | |
`- log-state 2|
`- state 3
I quite like the idea of grouping the sequences within braces. However,
I think we might be describing (slightly) different things. To clarify
what I'd REALLY like to be able to do is to define different sequences,
for use within a single file, rather than a single sequence made up of
sub-sequences.
a hypothetical example:
#+SEQ_TODO: { TODO DONE } { BUG RESOLVED } { REQUIREMENTS DESIGN
DEVELOPMENT TESTING }
This would define 3 sequences which are each for different things, and
might even be unrelated, though nesting related sequences might be quite
nice:
* TESTING
** BUG
Bug report...
*** TODO Identify cause
Suspect foo is the problem.
Here I've assumed that the last state within each group is the final
DONE state, though it might also be pretty neat if multiple DONE states
could be supported.
Anyway, it's just an idea.
Thanks again,
R.

[Orgmode] org-mode multiple TODO sequences within a file.
Hi, I've been using org-mode happily for nearly 6 months and think it's a fantastic tool!! I've always quite liked Emacs, but org-mode has led to me really seeing Emacs's potential. I was however wondering if there was anyway for org-mode to support multiple TODO sequences within a single file. I tried specifying sections of the file as operating under particular sequences, but this doesn't seem to work (in 4.52) e.g.: #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED * BUG there is a bug in foo... * RESOLVED fixed bug. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE * TODO ask if org-mode can support multiple TODO sequences... * DONE shopping... A step even further might be to allow multiple TODO_SEQ which are bound to different keys, allowing the user to mix and match e.g.: * BUG blah blah ** TODO fix bug ** TODO celebrate I realise that I could use checkboxes for stuff like this, but they don't allow you to naturally specify a sequence. So whilst it makes sense for binary TODO-DONE transitions, for others it might not. Anyway, it's just a suggestion, and something which I feel might enable me to organise things even better. Thanks, R. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
