seems redoing the agenda by doing g in tags agenda view unmarks all. perhaps it should persist those? we have mark persistence for bulk actions. just an idea. thanks. -- The Kafka Pandemic Please learn what misopathy is.

i have been trying various hooks so this might not be the worst case, but i know that finalizing a completely empty buffer will insert a newline after the target. that can't be worked around with hooks. On 9/23/20, Bastien wrote: > Hi Samuel, > > Samuel Wales writes: > >&

i want to check on what is /supposed/ to occur in 9.4 maint. if i capture an entry that has a newline at the end of the last line in the entry, is it supposed to end the entry with a blank line? or is it supposed to end the entry with the last line? [i want last line.] if i capture an entry

if it is in the buffer, asopposed to export, to align body text, including stuff like planning lines, take a look at org-adapt-indentation. i prefer everything left-aligned as opposed to moving around with the header indentation level, so i set this. if it's export, check backends for vars.

does org-capture need undo-boundary?

i have nothing for you to repro so this is just a heads up. in maint i have had org capture, run by firefox org capture extension, add some notes, then i manually make a change in the location they add notes to, then undo. everything gets undone.

more than one clock can be useful, but maybe need not be org-related, even if that would be nice? for example, your laundry is due in 45m, tea will be steeped in 8m, etc. i believe there is a package that allow many non-org clocks and has a list-timers or so that shows you what you have running.
