28 ;;; Commentary:
30 ;; Mode Description
32 ;; TODO is a major mode for EMACS which offers functionality to
33 ;; treat most lines in one buffer as a list of items one has to
34 ;; do. There are facilities to add new items, which are
35 ;; categorized, to edit or even delete items from the buffer.
36 ;; The buffer contents are currently compatible with the diary,
37 ;; so that the list of todo-items will show up in the FANCY diary
38 ;; mode.
40 ;; Notice: Besides the major mode, this file also exports the
41 ;; function `todo-show' which will change to the one specific
42 ;; TODO file that has been specified in the todo-file-do
43 ;; variable. If this file does not conform to the TODO mode
44 ;; conventions, the todo-show function will add the appropriate
45 ;; header and footer. I don't anticipate this to cause much
46 ;; grief, but be warned, in case you attempt to read a plain text
47 ;; file.
49 ;; Preface, Quickstart Installation
51 ;; To get this to work, make Emacs execute the line
53 ;; (autoload 'todo-mode "todo-mode"
54 ;; "Major mode for editing TODO lists." t)
55 ;; (autoload 'todo-show "todo-mode"
56 ;; "Show TODO items." t)
57 ;; (autoload 'todo-insert-item "todo-mode"
58 ;; "Add TODO item." t)
60 ;; You may now enter new items by typing "M-x todo-insert-item",
61 ;; or enter your TODO list file by typing "M-x todo-show".
63 ;; The TODO list file has a special format and some auxiliary
64 ;; information, which will be added by the todo-show function if
65 ;; it attempts to visit an un-initialized file. Hence it is
66 ;; recommended to use the todo-show function for the first time,
67 ;; in order to initialize the file, but it is not necessary
68 ;; afterwards.
70 ;; As these commands are quite long to type, I would recommend
71 ;; the addition of two bindings to your to your global keymap. I
72 ;; personally have the following in my initialization file:
74 ;; (global-set-key "\C-ct" 'todo-show) ; switch to TODO buffer
75 ;; (global-set-key "\C-ci" 'todo-insert-item) ; insert new item
77 ;; Note, however, that this recommendation has prompted some
78 ;; criticism, since the keys C-c LETTER are reserved for user
79 ;; functions. I believe my recommendation is acceptable, since
80 ;; the Emacs Lisp Manual *Tips* section also details that the
81 ;; mode itself should not bind any functions to those keys. The
82 ;; express aim of the above two bindings is to work outside the
83 ;; mode, which doesn't need the show function and offers a
84 ;; different binding for the insert function. They serve as
85 ;; shortcuts and are not even needed (since the TODO mode will be
86 ;; entered by visiting the TODO file, and later by switching to
87 ;; its buffer).
89 ;; If you are an advanced user of this package, please consult
90 ;; the whole source code for autoloads, because there are several
91 ;; extensions that are not explicitly listed in the above quick
92 ;; installation.
94 ;; Pre-Requisites
96 ;; This package will require the following packages to be
97 ;; available on the load-path:
99 ;; time-stamp
100 ;; easymenu
102 ;; Operation
104 ;; You will have the following facilities available:
106 ;; M-x todo-show will enter the todo list screen, here type
108 ;; + to go to next category
109 ;; - to go to previous category
110 ;; d to file the current entry, including a
111 ;; comment and timestamp
112 ;; e to edit the current entry
113 ;; E to edit a multi-line entry
114 ;; f to file the current entry, including a
115 ;; comment and timestamp
116 ;; i to insert a new entry, with prefix, omit category
117 ;; I to insert a new entry at current cursor position
118 ;; j jump to category
119 ;; k to kill the current entry
120 ;; l to lower the current entry's priority
121 ;; n for the next entry
122 ;; p for the previous entry
123 ;; P print
124 ;; q to save the list and exit the buffer
125 ;; r to raise the current entry's priority
126 ;; s to save the list
127 ;; S to save the list of top priorities
128 ;; t show top priority items for each category
130 ;; When you add a new entry, you are asked for the text and then
131 ;; for the category. I for example have categories for things
132 ;; that I want to do in the office (like mail my mum), that I
133 ;; want to do in town (like buy cornflakes) and things I want to
134 ;; do at home (move my suitcases). The categories can be
135 ;; selected with the cursor keys and if you type in the name of a
136 ;; category which didn't exist before, an empty category of the
137 ;; desired name will be added and filled with the new entry.
139 ;; Configuration
141 ;; Variable todo-prefix
143 ;; I would like to recommend that you use the prefix "*/*" (by
144 ;; leaving the variable 'todo-prefix' untouched) so that the
145 ;; diary displays each entry every day.
147 ;; To understand what I mean, please read the documentation that
148 ;; goes with the calendar since that will tell you how you can
149 ;; set up the fancy diary display and use the #include command to
150 ;; include your todo list file as part of your diary.
152 ;; If you have the diary package set up to usually display more
153 ;; than one day's entries at once, consider using
155 ;; "&%%(equal (calendar-current-date) date)"
157 ;; as the value of `todo-prefix'. Please note that this may slow
158 ;; down the processing of your diary file some.
160 ;; Carsten Dominik <dominik@strw.LeidenUniv.nl> suggested that
162 ;; "&%%(todo-cp)"
164 ;; might be nicer and to that effect a function has been declared
165 ;; further down in the code. You may wish to auto-load this.
167 ;; Carsten also writes that that *changing* the prefix after the
168 ;; todo list is already established is not as simple as changing
169 ;; the variable - the todo files have to be changed by hand.
171 ;; Variable todo-file-do
173 ;; This variable is fairly self-explanatory. You have to store
174 ;; your TODO list somewhere. This variable tells the package
175 ;; where to go and find this file.
177 ;; Variable todo-file-done
179 ;; Even when you're done, you may wish to retain the entries.
180 ;; Given that they're timestamped and you are offered to add a
181 ;; comment, this can make a useful diary of past events. It will
182 ;; even blend in with the EMACS diary package. So anyway, this
183 ;; variable holds the name of the file for the filed todo-items.
185 ;; Variable todo-file-top
187 ;; File storing the top priorities of your TODO list when
188 ;; todo-save-top-priorities is non-nil. Nice to include in your
189 ;; diary instead of the complete TODO list.
191 ;; Variable todo-mode-hook
193 ;; Just like other modes, too, this mode offers to call your
194 ;; functions before it goes about its business. This variable
195 ;; will be inspected for any functions you may wish to have
196 ;; called once the other TODO mode preparations have been
197 ;; completed.
199 ;; Variable todo-insert-threshold
201 ;; Another nifty feature is the insertion accuracy. If you have
202 ;; 8 items in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4 questions
203 ;; by the binary insertion algorithm. However, you may not
204 ;; really have a need for such accurate priorities amongst your
205 ;; TODO items. If you now think about the binary insertion
206 ;; halving the size of the window each time, then the threshold
207 ;; is the window size at which it will stop. If you set the
208 ;; threshold to zero, the upper and lower bound will coincide at
209 ;; the end of the loop and you will insert your item just before
210 ;; that point. If you set the threshold to, e.g. 8, it will stop
211 ;; as soon as the window size drops below that amount and will
212 ;; insert the item in the approximate center of that window. I
213 ;; got the idea for this feature after reading a very helpful
214 ;; e-mail reply from Trey Jackson <trey@cs.berkeley.edu> who
215 ;; corrected some of my awful coding and pointed me towards some
216 ;; good reading. Thanks Trey!
218 ;; Things to do
220 ;; These originally were my ideas, but now also include all the
221 ;; suggestions that I included before forgetting them:
223 ;; o Fancy fonts for todo/top-priority buffer
224 ;; o Remove todo-prefix option in todo-top-priorities
225 ;; o Rename category
226 ;; o Move entry from one category to another one
227 ;; o Entries which both have the generic */* prefix and a
228 ;; "deadline" entry which are understood by diary, indicating
229 ;; an event (unless marked by &)
230 ;; o The optional COUNT variable of todo-forward-item should be
231 ;; applied to the other functions performing similar tasks
232 ;; o Modularization could be done for repeated elements of
233 ;; the code, like the completing-read lines of code.
234 ;; o license / version function
235 ;; o export to diary file
236 ;; o todo-report-bug
237 ;; o GNATS support
238 ;; o elide multiline (as in bbdb, or, to a lesser degree, in
239 ;; outline mode)
240 ;; o rewrite complete package to store data as Lisp objects
241 ;; and have display modes for display, for diary export,
242 ;; etc. (Richard Stallman pointed out this is a bad idea)
243 ;; o so base todo-mode.el on generic-mode.el instead
245 ;; History and Gossip
247 ;; Many thanks to all the ones who have contributed to the
248 ;; evolution of this package! I hope I have listed all of you
249 ;; somewhere in the documentation or at least in the RCS history!
251 ;; Enjoy this package and express your gratitude by sending nice
252 ;; things to my parents' address!
