Re: [O] More helm awesomeness
You can do something like this to get just the TODO headlines in the current buffer. If you make the helm-todo-candidates map over all the files in (org-agenda-files) you can make it give all the TODO headings. You can change the match criteria in org-map-entries to be more selective. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results raw (defun helm-todo-candidates () (let ((results '())) (org-map-entries (lambda () (add-to-list 'results (cons (concat (make-string (nth 1 (org-heading-components)) ?*) TODO (nth 4 (org-heading-components))) (point-marker TODO=\TODO\) results)) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: ((** post it . #marker at 977 in blog.org) (** work it out . #marker at 941 in blog.org)) Now to run helm, there is a subtle point. We need to map the current buffer /before/ running helm, otherwise we will map an empty helm buffer. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun helm-todo () Helm interface to headlines with TODO status in current buffer. (interactive) (let ((candidates (helm-todo-candidates))) (setq helm-todo-source '((name . TODO headlines) (candidates . candidates) (action .

Hi John, thank you for the fast response! That's more than I had hoped for, I'm sure I'll get through now. I'll report back when something tangible is there.

Re: [O] More helm awesomeness
Here is a more advanced function that works on your agenda files: You run the second one: M-x helm-query-agenda and enter your search query in org syntax, e.g. TODO=PREPARATION will give you a helm menu of headlines with that TODO state. I am not that sophisticated a user of org queries like this, so I can't vouch it works for all of them ;) #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun helm-agenda-candidates (query) (let ((results '())) (mapc (lambda (f) (with-current-buffer (find-file-noselect f) (org-map-entries (lambda () (add-to-list 'results (cons (concat (file-name-nondirectory f) | (make-string (nth 1 (org-heading-components)) ?*) (org-get-heading)) (point-marker query))) (org-agenda-files)) results)) (defun helm-query-agenda (query) Helm interface to headlines with TODO status in current buffer.
