1 General

- - -

1.1 Use features in other modes

- -

I would like to use editing features of org-mode in other modes, is this possible? -

-Not really. For tables there is orgtbl-mode which implements the -table editor as a minor mode. For other features you need to switch to -Org-mode temporarily, or prepare text in a different buffer. -

- - -

1.2 Visibility cycling in Outline-mode and Outline-minor-mode

- - -

-Can I get the visibility-cycling features in outline-mode and outline-minor-mode? -

-Yes, these functions are written in a way that they are independent of -the outline setup. The following setup provides standard Org-mode -functionality in outline-mode on TAB and S-TAB. For -outline-minor-mode, we use C-TAB instead of TAB, -because TAB usually has mode-specific tasks. -

-(add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook
-  (lambda ()
-    (define-key outline-minor-mode-map [(control tab)] 'org-cycle)
-    (define-key outline-minor-mode-map [(shift tab)] 'org-global-cycle)))
-(add-hook 'outline-mode-hook
-  (lambda ()
-    (define-key outline-mode-map [(tab)] 'org-cycle)
-    (define-key outline-mode-map [(shift tab)] 'org-global-cycle)))
-

-Or check out outline-magic.el, which does this and also provides -promotion and demotion functionality. outline-magic.el is -available at Outline Magic. -

- -

2 Errors

- - -

2.1 `(wrong-type-argument keymapp nil)`

- -

When I try to use Org-mode, I always get the error message @code{(wrong-type-argument keymapp nil)} -

-This is a conflict with an outdated version of the allout.el, see -the Conflicts section in the manual -

- -

2.2 CUA mode does not work with Org-mode

- - -

-Org-mode takes over the S-cursor keys. I also want to use CUA-mode, is there a way to fix this conflict? -

-Yes, see the Conflicts section of the manual. -

- -

2.3 `winddmove.el` does not work with Org-mode.

- - -

-Org-mode takes over the S-cursor keys. I also want to use windmove.el, is there a way to fix this conflict? -

-Yes, see the Conflicts section of the manual. -

- -

3 Setup and Structure

- - -

3.1 Org-mode as default mode

- - -

-Org-mode seems to be a useful default mode for the various README files I have scattered through my directories. How do I turn it on for all README files? -

-Add the following to your .emacs file: -

- (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("README$" . org-mode))
-

-You can even make it the default mode for any files with unspecified -mode using -

- (setq default-major-mode 'org-mode)
-

- -

3.2 Get rid of extra stars in outline

- - -

-All these stars are driving me mad, I just find the Emacs outlines unreadable. Can't you just put white space and a single star as a starter for headlines? -

-See the section Clean outline view in the manual. -

- -

3.3 Two windows on same Org-mode file

- -

I would like to have two windows on the same Org-mode file, but with different outline visibility. Is that possible? -

-You may use indirect buffers which do exactly this. See the -documentation on the command make-indirect-buffer. -

- -

3.4 Insert empty lines before new headings and plain list items

- - -

-I would like to have an empty line before each newly inserted headline, but not before each newly inserted plain-list item. -

- (setq org-blank-before-new-entry
-       '((heading . t) (plain-list-item . nil))
-

- - -

3.5 Amount of context in sparse trees

- - -

-*Sparse tree show the headline hierarchy above each match, and also -the headline following a match. I'd like to construct more compact -trees, with less context.* -

-Take a look at the variables org-show-hierarchy-above and -org-show-following-headline. -

- -

3.6 Stacking calls to org-occur

- - -

-Each call to org-occur starts again from OVERVIEW and exposes only the matches of the current call. I'd like to combine the effect of several calls. -

-You can construct a regular expression that matches all targets you -want. Alternatively, use a C-u prefix with the second and any -further calls to org-occur to keep the current visibility and -highlighting in addition to the new ones. -

- -

4 Hyperlinks

- - - -

4.1 Confirmation for shell and elisp links

- - -

-When I am executing shell/elisp links I always get a confirmation prompt and need to type "yes RET", that's 4 key presses! Can I get rid of this? -

-The confirmation is there to protect you from unwantingly execute -potentially dangerous commands. For example, imagine a link -

-[[shell:rm -rf ~/*][ Google Search]]
-

-In an Org-mode buffer, this command would look like Google Search, -but really it would remove your home directory. If you wish, you can -make it easier to respond to the query by setting -

- (setq org-confirm-shell-link-function 'y-or-n-p
-       org-confirm-elisp-link-function 'y-or-n-p).
-

-Then a single keypress will be enough to confirm those links. It is -also possible to turn off this check entirely, but I strongly recommend -against this. Be warned. -

- -

4.2 Use RET or TAB to follow a link

- - -

-From other packages like Emacs-wiki, I am used to follow links with RET when the cursor is on the link. Is this also possible in org-mode? -

-Yes, and you may also use TAB. -

- (setq org-return-follows-link t)
- (setq org-tab-follows-link t)
-

- -

4.3 Clicking on a link without activating it

- - -

-Each time I click inside a link in order to set point to this location, Org-mode actually follows the link -

-Activating links with mouse-1 is a new feature in Emacs 22, to make -link behavior similar to other applications like web browsers. If you -hold the mouse button down a bit longer, the cursor will be set -without following the link. If you cannot get used to this behavior, -you can (as in Emacs 21) use mouse-2 to follow links and turn off -link activation for mouse-1 with -

- (setq org-mouse-1-follows-link nil)
-

- - -

5 Export

- - -

5.1 Make TODO entries items, not headlines in HTML export

- - -

-When I export my TODO list, every TODO item becomes a separate section. How do I enforce these items to be exported as an itemized list? -

-If you plan to use ASCII or HTML export, make sure things you want to -be exported as item lists are level 4 at least, even if that does mean -there is a level jump. For example: -

- * Todays top priorities
- **** TODO write a letter to xyz
- **** TODO Finish the paper
- **** Pick up kids at the school
-

-Alternatively, if you need a specific value for the heading/item -transition in a particular file, use the #+OPTIONS line to -configure the H switch. -

- #+OPTIONS:   H:2; ...
-

- -

5.2 Export only a subtree

- - -

-I would like to export only a subtree of my file to HTML. How? -

-If you want to export a subtree, mark the subtree as region and then -export. Marking can be done with C-c @ C-x C-x, for example. -

- -

5.3 How to import org-mode calendar data into Mac OSX ical

- - -

-I would like my iCal program on Mac OSX to import the iCalendar file produced by Org-mode. How? -

-This is for OSX 10.3, see below for 10.4: When using iCal under -Apple MacOS X, you can create a new calendar OrgMode (the default -name for the calendar created by C-c C-e c, see the variables -org-icalendar-combined-name and -org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file). Then set Org-mode to overwrite -the corresponding file ~/Library/Calendars/OrgMode.ics. You may -even use AppleScript to make iCal re-read the calendar files each time -a new version of OrgMode.ics is produced. Here is the setup needed -for this: -

- (setq org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file
-     "~/Library/Calendars/OrgMode.ics")
- (add-hook 'org-after-save-iCalendar-file-hook
-  (lambda ()
-   (shell-command
-    "osascript -e 'tell application \"iCal\" to reload calendars'")))
-

- -

-For Mac OS X 10.4, you need to write the ics file to -/Library/WebServer/Documents/ and then subscribe iCalendar to -http: //localhost/orgmode.ics -

- -

6 Tables

- - -

6.1 #ERROR fields in tables

- - -

-One of my table columns has started to fill up with #ERROR. What is going on? -

-Org-mode tried to compute the column from other fields using a -formula stored in the #+TBLFM: line just below the table, and -the evaluation of the formula fails. Fix the fields used in the -formula, or fix the formula, or remove it! -

- -

6.2 Unwanted new lines in table

- - -

-When I am in the last column of a table and just above a horizontal line in the table, pressing TAB creates a new table line before the horizontal line. How can I quickly move to the line below the horizontal line instead? -

-Press down (to get on the separator line) and then TAB. -Or configure the variable -

- (setq org-table-tab-jumps-over-hlines t)
-

- -

6.3 Automatic detection of formulas

- -

I need to use fields in my table that start with "=", and each time I enter such a field, Org-mode thinks this is a formula. -

-With the setting -

- (setq org-table-formula-evaluate-inline nil)
-

-this will no longer happen. You can still use formulas using the -commands C-c = and C-u C-c = -

- - -

6.4 Change indentation of a table

- -

How can I change the indentation of an entire table without fixing every line by hand? -

-The indentation of a table is set by the first line. So just fix the -indentation of the first line and realign with TAB. -

- -

6.5 Performance issues with table alignment

- -

I have a huge table in a file, and the automatic realign of tables is just taking too long. What can I do? -

-Either split the table into several by inserting an empty line every -100 lines or so. Or turn off the automatic re-align with -

- (setq org-table-automatic-realign nil)
-

-After this the only way to realign a table is to press C-c C-c. It -will no longer happen automatically, removing the corresponding delays -during editing. -

- -

6.6 Performance issues with table calculation

- -

I have a complex table with lots of formulas, and recomputing the table takes rather long. What can I do? -

-Nothing, really. The spreadsheet in org is mostly done to make -calculations possible, not so much to make them fast. Since Org-mode -is firmly committed to the ASCII format, nothing is stopping you from -editing the table by hand. Therefore, there is no internal -representation of the data. Each time Org-mode starts a computation, -it must scan the table for special lines, find the fields etc. This -is slow. Furthermore, Calc is slow compared to hardware computations. -To make this work with normal editing, recalculation is not happening -automatically, or only for the current line, so that the long wait for -a full table iteration only happens when you ask for it. -

-So for really complex tables, moving to a "real" spreadsheet may still -be the best option. -

-That said, there are some ways to optimize things in Org-mode, and I -have been thinking about moving a bit further down this line. -However, for my applications this has so far not been an issue at all. -If you have a good case,you could try to convince me. -

- -

6.7 Incrementing numbers

- -

When I press S-RET in a table field to copy its value down, the content is not copied as is, but it is increased by one. Is that a bug or a feature -

-Well, it is supposed to be a feature, to make it easy to create a -column with increasing numbers. If this gets into your way, turn it -off with -

- (setq org-org-table-copy-increment nil)
-

- -

7 Agenda

- - -

7.1 Include Org-mode agenda into Emacs diary

- -

Is it possible to include entries from org-mode files into my emacs diary? -

-Since the org-mode agenda is much more powerful and can contain the -diary, you should think twice before deciding to do this. If you -insist, however, integrating Org-mode information into the diary is -possible. You need to turn on fancy diary display by setting in -.emacs: -

- (add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)
-

-Then include the following line into your ~/diary file, in -order to get the entries from all files listed in the variable -org-agenda-files -

- &%%(org-diary)
-

-You may also select specific files with -

- &%%(org-diary) ~/path/to/some/org-file.org
- &%%(org-diary) ~/path/to/another/org-file.org
-

-If you now launch the calendar and press d to display a diary, the -headlines of entries containing a timestamp, date range, schedule, or -deadline referring to the selected date will be listed. Just like -Org-mode's agenda view, the diary for today contains additional -entries for overdue deadlines and scheduled items. See also the -documentation of the org-diary function. Under XEmacs, it is -not possible to jump back from the diary to the org, this works only in -the agenda buffer. -

Org - an Emacs Mode for Notes and Project Planning

- - - - - - -

-Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing -project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system. -

-Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain -information about projects as plain text. Org-mode is implemented on -top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of -large files well structured. Visibility cycling and structure editing -help to work with the tree. Tables are easily created with a built-in -table editor. Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps, -and scheduling. It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda. -Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, Usenet -messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects. For -printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a -structured ASCII file, HTML, and LaTeX. -

- -

Current Version (5.19) and Compatibility

- - -

-The current version is 5.19. To see what has changed in recent -releases, check this list of user-visible changes. These descriptions -are extensive, to avoid that people will be printing the manual after -each incremental release. If you have an older version of the manual, -just check the release notes and you will be up-to-date. -

-This package works on Emacs 22, and (with minor restrictions) on Emacs -21 and XEmacs 21 (where you must also use noutline.el shipped with -Org-mode). The Emacs 22.1 release ships with Org-mode version 4.67c. -The latest CVS emacs trunk usually contains a fairly recent version, -but may lag a bit behind the website release. -

Org-mode, GTD and other task management systems

- -

Org-mode is flexible enough to implement many different ways of -organizing your projects. A frequently discusses scheme is David Allen's strategy for Getting Things Done. But it is clearly not -the only way to us Org-mode for planning. Here are a couple of -links related to this topic. -

-John Wiegley has written an excellent document describing his -way of using Org-mode as a day planner. See also some later -messages for enhancements of his setup: -emacs-orgmode-2962, emacs-orgmode-3629 - -
-Charles Cave has written an article/tutorial about the basic -elements of GTD and how he implements them in Org-mode. - -
-There have been several threads on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org related -to GTD, the most important ones are: -
- -Another GTD question, which contains a discussion about basic -GTD aspects. It also contains this -
- -Post by Carsten summarizing several options for implementing -GTD in org-mode. -
- -GTD, Projects and Next Actions in org-mode is a thread where -several people describe their personal setup is -
- -The SOMEDAY/MAYBE vs. low priorities thread contains a -discussion about priorities that is quite instructive. -
- -Here is a very instructive post by Pete Phillips explaining -why David Allens book is where you should start to learn GTD, -and that the Internet and Org-mode only come into the game -later, when thinking about the implementation. And since -doing GTD the right way will give you lots of free time, don't -forget to listen to Pete's music! -
-Also on the web you can find information about how people are -setting up Org-mode to fit their habits. A few examples: - -
- -This blog post shows a very simple and clear GTD setup. - -

- -

Add-Ons

- - -

-Piotr Zielinski wrote org-mouse.el which is now distributed with -Org-mode. It implements great mouse support for many functions in -org-mode. - -
-David O'Toole is the author of org-publish.el. While this is -now part of the Org-mode distribution, you might find the newest -bug fixes and developments at his Org-mode page, along with -several other projects like org-blog.el and -org-publish-escript.el. - -
-Bastien Guerry has been really prolific in writing interesting -add-ons, all available at his org-mode page: -
- -a package for using Org-mode as the basis for blogging -
- -a LaTeX exporter that is now distributed together with -org-mode -
- -a special table-of-contents buffer that simplifies navigation -
- -a registry to find locations that link a specific document. - -
-George C.F. Greve wrote org-mairix.el to add links that trigger a -mairix search. - -

- -

Translators

- - -

-I know about the following attempts to translate from and to -Org-mode files: -

- -

Org-mode to XXX

- - -

-From Org-mode to remind by Bastien Guerry. - -
-From Org-mode to Freemind by Marco Vezzoli. - -

- -

XXX to Org-mode

- - -

-From Palm TODO database to Orgmode. This Translator was -written by Olaf Dietsche. - -

- -

Bi-directional

- - -

-Unfortunately nothing so far. -

- -

Alternative distributions

- - -

-Mark A. Hershberger has made some Ubuntu packages for org-mode. - -

- -

Contributing to Org-mode

- - -

-You can always contribute with ideas and bug reports on the mailing -list. If you want to contribute a patch, code snippets, or a full -add-on, this is very welcome too! However, I can only make it an -official part of Org-mode if you have signed the papers with the -Free Software Foundation. Org-mode is distributed as part of Emacs -and must therefore adhere to strict rules about the copyright of -all included material. If this is what you want to do, here is the -form that you have to fill in and send to the FSF. After you -received the final copy with signatures, please scan it and send -the scan to the maintainer. -

- -

Future Development

- - -

-Org-mode is still developing fast. The best way to stay up-to-date -is to join the mailing list where the changes are developed and -discusssed. -

-Here is a loose list of ideas that are still to be processed -somehow, when I get to it… -

3. When did you first start using org-mode and how did you find out about it?

- - -

-Org 5.04, Aug 2007 - Searching around the Web -
-2007, December found about in in emacs wiki -
-November 2006, found it while googling GTD tools -
-moved from planner about 6 months ago -
-2005, probably read about it on Sacha Chua's blog. -
-August 2007? Heard of it a long time ago, maybe by following links -from johnh's notebook mode. Finally switched from planner after a -friend did the same. -
-October 2007 -
-about the begining of 2007. Heard about it on the internet I guess. -
-I found it by way of emacswiki.org. I was an avid user of outline -mode, and found somebody's screencast (Scott Jaderholm's, I think) -showing off org mode. I've been using it for probably about six -months. -
-Oct. 2007. I think I was looking for an alternative to planner.el. -
-august 27, 2006. I found it while looking for an alternative to -planner. -
-Roughly 2005/6, through a friend. -
-2007-Nov. Google. -
-July 2007 after I saw the entry in Emacswiki -
-april 2007 -
-2007-06 thrrough Sacha Chua's blog -
-Oldest entry in my archive file is June 2005, but I think I was -using org for a while before that. I don't remember when I heard -about it. -

-2007-03 www.emacswiki.org -
-1/2007 emacs NEWS -
-In 2005, I found out about org-mode while googling for some kind of -outliner software. My search must have hit upon a listserv post. My -first try at using it was in June 2005, but I didn't like -it. Carsten made many improvements and in December 2005, he emailed -me to ask me what I thought.

5. New features and product maturity?

- - -

-Original question: -

-What new features (if any) would you like to see in org-mode or do you -think the product has reached maturity? -

-case sensitive search in tag completition - multilingual day name -input product has reached maturity in my opinion -
-nothing (for now) -
-A way to make it more Gnome friendly would be nice. In the case that -you don't have emacs started, you lose your ideas until you can note -them down. -
-I still haven't learnt enough to fully customize my environment. -
-Nothing specific, but I love the current state of development. -
-Syncing todos to other devices such as cellphones and palms, I know -it would not be very easy to do but would be extremely useful -
-No idea, sorry. I think it has enough features at present that seems -a bit intimidating, really. (Minor quibble – I changed some of the -keybindings. I prefer M-left/right to hide/show subtrees, rather -than cycling with tab, and use # instead of * for outline -levels. This is mostly habits from a "todo-mode" used on emacs -in-house where I work.) -
-I'm on the lookout for a cell phone that runs Emacs, but… I haven't -found any mechanisms for remotely adding/editing timestamps, -changing the state of TODO items, etc. Neither have I found a way to -trigger reminder sounds, e-mails, phone calls, or IM messages. I'm -not sure about the best way to approach "mobile org-mode"… A -web-interface like Webjimbo? More robust import/export/sync to iCal -or GData? If we can find a way to usefully sync org-mode with mobile -devices, it'll be just about perfect. -
-Current features are enough for me. -
-It is certainly mature. However I would also like to be able to use -it as a wiki and general-purpose document authoring/publishing -tool. In an ideal (and possibly unrealistic) world I would love to -see unification with muse-mode. To what extent is this possible? -
-I am still too new to it to comment on this. -
-It's quite mature and I surely don't master it. What I'd like to see -is easier manipulation of the agenda export. -
-Compatibility with other wiki syntax (importer or exporter) -
-too soon to know -
-Basically mature; I'd like to see refinement within the current -feature set. -
-You can always add new features! I would like to see an easy way to -tell how old my entries are. I would like to be able to derive a -task order based on importance and age (for tasks that don't have a -deadline but must be completed eventually). Also I would like to see -it integrated with other tools. I think a MindMap converter (for -FreeMind) would be cool - although it probably could be an external -script. -
-Export to WordprocessingML would be perfect. Currently I export to -HTML and read the reports into Word, saving them as *.doc. But you -loose some features and details doing this. -
-Integration out-of-the-box with remote calendar systems like Google -Calendar -
-Close to maturity. Some new features would be nice, but not terribly -important: Keeping root to leaf tree structure when archiving part -of a subtree. Simple dependent todos (i.e. dependent todo moves into -"NEXT" state when previous todo is marked "DONE"). Exporting entries -in HTML in monospaced font by default (i.e. without specially -marking individual entries). Auto-sorting of entries within a single -parent node (e.g. when a node is marked "DONE", move it lower in the -parent's list of todos). Integration with project management -software. -
-Some kind of resolution to the line wrapping issue with headlines. -
-Simpler ways of doing things (perhaps with mouse commands) -
-I'd say it's pretty close to maturity. I haven't used most of the -more recently-added advanced features. -
-I'd like easier customization of "workflow" steps that would make it -easier to update states and record notes related to state changes -(and skip these notes when the state transitions are obvious in -nature). -
-No immediate demands. I do not think the project has reached -maturity. -
-This product has reached maturity since long! In my point of view -this is. Excellent work! -
-depending tasks - integrated pdf-generation (especially for -windows) - visualisation for tasks (like gantt) - a minor mode for -contacts like vcard.el -
-I think it reached maturity. It would be nice to have some minor -things, like a posibility to insert todo's right inside your project -source code and then have them added in agenda automatically. -
-Instead of new features, I'd much prefer keeping XEmacs -compatibility -
-Wishlist - Adding arbitrary (user specified) relations between nodes -with a specific relation name. for example, x <part of> y; where x -and y are two nodes. - Making the above functionality work between -files - making the above work between nodes published on a -distributed server In the GNU project GNOWSYS, we do this, where it -is a web application. We are now exploring how org mode can be used -as a client to manage the data published in GNOWSYS. Out team would -be more than willing to collaborate, but our team members are all -Python hackers, and use Emacs only for coding -
-I am having trouble keeping up with the many new features of the -last few months! -
-I think it is mature enough for me -
-automatic reminders in Emacs as pop ups? -
-I'm quite content as it is. I guess I could probably think of one or -two things, but I wouldn't want to spoil its power/simplicity -balance. -
- planing times for tasks and compare them to actuel used times (and -also give out a warning if to many hours are planed for one day) - -agenda export to latex - simple project management -
-a gtd framework would be a killer feature!! more visual effects with -overlays However, it's "d�éj�à" a very good work. Thanks. -
-very mature -
-Nearing maturity, but then again, maybe I'm just out of ideas. -
-I would like org-mode (or other parts of it like orgtbl) to become a -minor mode so I can turn it on/off in other buffers (mainly -muse). For example I would love to use todo list editing features in -emails. -
-I don't understant all the features yet :) -
-export facilitie -
-New features, in order of importance to me: 1.) A way to select a -chunk of text in firefox and paste it into org-mode, along with a -nicely formatted URL link. I would use this many times a day. MS -OneNote does this well. 2.) A way to link to email in an IMAP -folder. Preferably, this link would point directly to the email on -the IMAP server. The link should look like all the other links, and -you should be able to just drag it from, say, Thunderbird, into -org-mode, although a Thunderbird keyboard shortcut would be nice. I -would use this every day. 3.) More flexible outline prefixes. You -should be able to make headlines of this type: I. asdlfk i. asdfj -ii. asdlfkj II. … Or 1. Introduction 1.1 asdfkj 1.2 -asdfkl 2. Background … Emacs hyperbole: -http://directory.fsf.org/project/hyperbole/ did this -beautifully. 4.) Internal links search in a way consistent with -emacs search (Ctrl-s). When you click on a link, it should go -towards the end of the buffer for the next match. When there's -nothing towards the end, it should wrap to the top. 5.) Fix the -underline/bold/italic stuff (if that is a new feature) 6.) Better -formatted html table export -
-Better support for working with others. -
-I would like to see different way to view or summarize ageda. Like -progress, next possible todo -
-I think org-mode is quite mature now except there may be still some -bugs in it and some features may need more polish -
-Too novice a user yet to comment -
-can't tell yet. -
-I like to be surprised more than wishing -
-I'd like better integration with calendar mode of -emacs. Specifically, when using the calendar, the command 'i d' to -insert an appointment, the diary file is used. I'd like to set a -headline in my orgmode buffer for that insert, for consistency with -the calendar entries I make by hand while processing my inbox Also, -navigation from agenda to org-file is easy. navigating back is -harder. -
-possibly nested numbered lists: 1. head 1 1.1 sub-head 1 1.2 -sub-head 2 Also lettered lists: a. point a b. point b but I'm -already quite satisfied -
- implement all features of muse-mode. Ex: list of pages, backlinks, -following links with Enter, … - consistent and clear syntax for -formatting text, which doesn't require memorizing use cases or -exceptions (ex: a isn't bold) -
-syncing with my palm would be the greatest need. (syncing with -outlook would do the job as outlook is snced with the palm) -
-mostly small things like an isearch mode that only matches headlines -(and doesn't auto expand), an allout-copy-exposed-to-buffer -equivalent, hipster pda publishing -
-I've too many ideas to write here. The only thing i can think of is -not quite org related. A published bison or antlr grammar, so people -can write org parsers/processors in other languages, and extend its -integration into other systems. -
-Org mode is fairly mature. Only the remaining inconsistencies should -be straightened out. -
-Hard to say, every so often I think of a feature that might be nice -to have. I have a feeling that alternate views (like the agenda) to -allow other ways of exploring your information would be handy, but I -have no concrete ideas yet as to what they might be. -
-Better exporting (for example better LaTeX export). -
-The only thing I need is better integration with mh-e (I suspect it -is already there - just need to find the time to sort it out). Other -than that I am very content! -
- I always wanted to be able to schedule a task for a specific week -(as oposed to a date) - I would like to improve the hipsterPDA -generation (export the agenda view as nice LaTeX, improve the -cal-tex output, etc) -
-Org grows faster than I can learn all those nice features. One -feature I'd love to see was that the HTML export created docs that -could be outlined like in an org buffer. I guess that's possible -with some CSS. -
-Task dependency for project planing -
-At the moment, I'm still on the learning curve. Org-mode has -soooooooooo many features I have not even discovered yet. I almost -daily open the manual pages to see I there is something I can use. -
-Probably, customization of built-in agenda view. But I'd rather see -org-mode streamlined and cleaned of unnecessary -complications. Properties should be either integrated more tightly -to replace tags/priorities/etc, or removed. -
-Looking forward to some of the dependency ideas. -
-Import tasks from .ics files, include .ics files in agenda, -eventually include remote .ics files in agenda. Would like an -updated blogging tool that takes advantage of recent developments. -
-I'm working on integration with my email client and web browser -- -it's a slow process because I'm not a programmer, but I'm learning -bits and pieces about bash shell scripts and grabbing what I can -from experts already using org. -
-I'd like a way to set project (outline item) dependencies and to -easily list those projects in dependency order. I could do it now -with properties, a dynamic block and some elisp. I'd use markup more -if it were more reliable in the emacs buffer. It might be nice to -have a mode where rigid outline style indenting is enforced while -editing outlines and lists. Perhaps as a buffer option or subtree -property. None of this is necessary or worth calling org-mode -immature. -
-Not new features. But perhaps splitting org.el into different -modules: one for outlining, one for doc format (Wiki engine), one -for GTD -
-block quote text support. like wiki {{{ This is quote text }}} -Currently only putting ':' at beginning of text or heading. -
-I hope a better archive mechanism using C-c C-x C-c, which could -keep the structure in my org file. -
-Seems mature; new features always interesting but can add a layer of -too-many-choices distraction. (See prioritizing problems above ;) ) -
-New summary type {%} for progress status. Real comment syntax. -
-I use only a fraction of its features. -
-Mature - -

6. Additional tutorials, documentation and screencasts would you like?

- - -

-Original question: -Which topics or "how-to" guides would you like to see in the -documentation or as a tutorial or screencast? -

-none. documentation is excellent -
-how to prepare/export/print GTD file to A7(index cards hPDA (hipster -PDA) forms -
-Everything should be a screencast for new users. -
-I'd love to see more examples (with code) of how people use org, -especially for implementing GTD. -
-More detailed information about blogging would be great, especially -motivation for using org. -
-The manual and refcard usually have me covered. An in-depth -screencast on table/calc might be nice. -
-More stuff about methodology to use it. -
-Screencasts are most helpful to me. I would like to see material on -publishing and blogging in particular -
-Project lifecycle. Timesheet reports. -
-Exporting to other formats and customizing that -
-lot of screencast showing new features of org (such as one already -done) -
-The documentation is actually rather good as it is, haven't found -anything lacking yet. -
-Integration with remember -
-Integrating org-mode with pine/alpine mailer. -
-Not sure who you want to target. Advanced users are your bread and -butter and probably are OK. Beginners should get some screencasts -that describe a common problem and just focuses an how org mode can -help them. A good example is something like when someone's todo list -gets too long and complex and they want to split it, but maintain -connections between items on various lists, or perhaps view a -chronological list of all items in one location. Org mode is the -only program I know of the handles this kind of complexity -gracefully. -
-In depth explanation of using the agenda to its fullest -
-I'd love to see one on setting up column views. A tutorial on -publishing files would be great. And one about creating custom -agenda views. -
-Changing the keybindings to make specific state transitions easier -to enter -
-don't know as of yet … -
-using the spreadsheet with merged cells, calculation for rows and -columns - showing the true meaning of the properties stuff - over -all there should be examples - i really dislike the manual form -orgmode.org because it is technical oriented not for the simple -user - more howtos for gtd -> learning from each other -
-Different usages of org-mode. From GTD to other ways … -
-I find the manual well written and sufficient. -
-Use of drawers and properties. -
-HOw to organize multiple projects; auto-archival. -
-org spreadsheet -
-Since Org-mode is (to me) a collection of "orthogonal" features, but -doesn't much impose structure, I'd be interested in seeing how -others organise their data and "bring it to life" with the Org-mode -features. -
-none -
-more documentation for org's lisp functions (in fact more examples -with org's lisp funtions!!) -
-remember mode integration -
-I prefer the documentation and experimentation. Need drives my -learning. -
-I don't have any preferences. -
-Can't think of any -
-I think a new user would benefit from a screencast showing basic -hierarchy creation and navigation -
-Remember Practical uses of properties -
-I would like to see more people to share their ways of using org -model -
-The documentation is already very good and it seems the manual is -never out of sync from the latest org-mode version. I found the -mailing list is the best source of "how-to" as people's individual -situations are so much different. -
-more of org for gtd -
-how to deal with the calendar and insert dates quickly - two-way -backends for groupware-like behavior - calender functionality for -scheduled events (receive popups or emails or sms or the like) - -probably more but it's too early to say -
-drawers + table calculations -
-Using org-mode as a calendar/planner. Perhaps a best practice around -where date- and time-stamps belong (in the headline? in a SCHEDULED: -property? DEADLINE: property?) Also, it would be helpful to be shown -the best practices around Categories (since they show up so -prominently in the agenda) I wanted them to be like David Allen's -"Contexts", but that's hard for me to manage. -
-All the variables that you must configure to be able to write and -export an article successfully and without unexpected results - How -to move from {muse,kwiki,reST,planner,…} to org-mode: how to adapt -the syntax, … -
-examples of how to columns view -
-real examples of different ways of using org-mode -
-Scope projects? integrate Org into a software development -process/project? Handle <not at computer> org interactions? -
-Daily use of agenda -
-I'm still not familiar with the more advanced features of org-mode, -so I'm keen to see these areas explored in tutorials and guides. -
-The spreadsheet. -
-None that I would be interested in, although I accept that new users -would benefit from them. -
-I think column-view is a great feature. Bastiens tutorial is good, -but I'm thinking a tutorial focused more on the use case as opposed -to the config option might be better. If I find time :-) -
-I don't know if it's just me, but currently I make no use of -tags. So any how-to or screencasts of how to use categories and tags -together in a senseful way would be nice. Most usages of tags I've -seen so far where tags like :phonecall: or :appoitment:, but when I -have a TODO "Call Jim" or "Meet Jim" those are superluous… -
-I would welcome such how-to's and offer to help. The drawback of -screencasts is they take a long time, and there is no way a viewer -can tell it will be usefull to sit it all out. A guide giving -examples (and using short screencasts, if necessary) gives the -reader an overview, he/she can skip sections and browse to a -chapter/paragraph deemed usefull. I would like to learn howto tweak -my custom built todo-lists so that some of the statuses show up in -the agenda, and others don't. Example WRITE should be on the agenda, -but INVOICE not really. But the intermediate VERIFY should. -
-More on GTD. Agenda customization. -
-More on column mode and new uses of properties. -
-I know there are books and howtos about lisp, but it would be great -to see some smaller howtos that are specific to org applications, -and code samples. -
-The remember mode stuff scares me. I need to take some time learn -it. I also know agenda can do a lot more than I do with it. I'd like -to see screen shots of of column mode to drool over since I'm not -running emacs 22 yet. -
-can't thing of any -
-Spreadsheet examples. -
-how-to setup a gtd style system is always my favorite. -
-Some experienced users' detailed explication of pros and cons of the -newer TMTOWTDI (There's More Than One Way To Do It) choices like -archiving methods, task states, etc. leading to – you -guessed it – prioritizing problems -
-Building complex agenda views. -
-Dunno. -
-Setting up a publishing/blog environment - -

- -

7. Which features of org-mode do you use? (Spreadsheet, LaTeX, HTML, Remember, etc)

- - -

-Document Structure, Tables, Spreadsheet, Hyperlinks, TODO items, -Tags, Properties and Columns, Dates and Times, (Custom) Agenda Views -
-LaTeX, Remember -
-Use the agenda/tags views heavily. Tables, but not really -spreadsheets. -
-Rememeber -
-remember, agenda views. -
-I'm sure I will use everything at some point. I've finally started -using remember recently, about to start using HTML for blogging I -think, and can imaging using LaTeX to print index cards even. -
-Todo-list, agenda - remember -
-Remember, agenda, I learned to use the tags / priorities, but they -don't seem to fit my style of use. -
-Publish to HTML and LaTeX (although I'd prefer ConTeXt), dynamic -blocks, orgstruct minor mode, and hyperlinks. I'm not sure if they -count as a "feature", but I use deadlines, scheduling, and repeated -tasks a lot. -
-remember, clock summary. -
-TODO keywords, tags, timestamps (inc. deadlines/scheduling), -priorities, export to HTML/ics, tables, archiving, remember, custom -agenda commands -
-Still exploring.. starting out with fundamentals as described in -John Weigly's excellent write-up. -
-HTML, Remember -
-Basic planning, some html export, Wannt to use more features of org -but lack of time -
-Remember, html -
-Much use of Remember, agenda, agenda todo lists. Some use of HTML -and LaTeX. A little use of spreadsheet. -
-Starting to use spreadsheets and tables. I use the [/] feature to -keep track of task counts a lot. I like the "radio" links too. Don't -use the others much. -
-Export2HTML, Remember, Agenda -
-Remember, LaTex, ical export, Agenda and Diary integration -
-HTML. My usage is pretty basic. -
-LaTeX, HTML, Agenda, diary integration, Todo, outlining like crazy -
-Spreadsheet (for tables) -
-I use Remember, HTML, agenda views, hyperlinks, time-tracking, -timestamps, and tags. I occasionally use tables, and plan on using -the PROPERTIES drawer in the future. I don't currently use any -advanced table formulas or column view, but I'm glad they're there. -
-Remember, basic task lists, and mostly the Agenda views. -
-LaTex, HTML, Remember, Cal, diary -
-all -
-agenda - html - spreadsheet -
-Spreadsheet, remember, time logger and outlines. -
-Document structure + hyperlinks, agenda + remember, exporting and -publishing -
-writing documents, LaTeX, HTML. -
-Remember; tables. -
-Remember, and the todo features. -
-simple to do listing -
-A lot: Outlines, Tables, Spreadsheets, TODOs, Links, Tags, -Timestamps, Clocking Time. A little: Agenda views, Properties and -Columns Not at all: LaTeX, HTML, Remember I plan to increase my -usage of all the above, apart from LaTeX, which I'll probably never -use. -
-Remember -
-Remember, Latex, spreadsheet (with calc) -
-just to basic features -
- * TODO's, including ** Scheduling ** Deadlines ** Archiving (both -tag and function) * Remember * LaTeX * export/HTML * Tables * -org-publish * Agendas -
-spreadsheet, HTML -
-remember, agenda, priority -
-Remember -
-all -
-Basic outlining with tons of links of most types allowed. * Tables * -HTML export * TODO's -
-Tables, HTML, Remember -
-table, agenda, remember -
-Probably the question is bettered asked with "which features of -org-mode do you not use?" :-) It seems I have almost used everything -except properties and drawers. Although I did not go into depth of -many of them, like I never used a formula in the built in org-mode -table. -
-tags, todos, links, timestamps -
-remember, agenda -
-tables, HTML, ToDo stuff/agenda, column mode, clock features, -categories -
-Agenda, time tracking, HTML, latex, spreadsheet -agenda export to ics (iCalendar) file TODO proper- ty drawers -
-headings, tags, links, drawers & properties, table (& occasionally -spreadsheet), remember, todo's -
-outlining - basic spreadsheet - org-export-as-latex - HTML - -org-publish - marking TODO/DONE (or equivalents) - agenda -
-Remember HTML -
-HTML, Remember, custom agenda views, tags matches, custom keyword -states, diary integration, recurring tasks, scheduling and -deadlines, org-nnml, hyperlinks, categories -
-Agenda, Remember, Tags, Ascii Export, Tables, Outlining -
-Spreadsheet -
-sometimes Spreadsheet remember extensively LaTeX/Html export -
-Remember, Blorg, org-publish, Tables, Lists, Checkboxes, TODO -sequences. -
-LaTeX, html, remember, spreadsheet -
-Tags, Remember, Diary integration, Logging, sometimes spreadsheet -usage. -
-folding, TODOs, Agenda view, HTML generation, column-view -
-Spreadsheet, HTML, Remember, fast selection of TODO keywords, links -to everywhere, extended timestamps and intervals -
-Spreadsheet, HTML -
-I use remember very often. I have not really touched the -spreadsheet, don't need to. I use the deadline feature all the time -and the [/] todo list type. I have experimented with export to html, -in order to transport stuff to a very smart smart phone (iphone) but -that requires more tweaking on my side. -
-todo and logging state changes, tags, priorities, hyperlinks, -remember, timestamps, agenda, export to HTML. -
-Folding, spreadsheet, column mode, properties, schedule/agenda, -org-remember, html export, todo, tags -
-I use everything except radio stuff and dynamic blocks, and I think -I will use those soon. Don't use XOXO export either, I guess. -
-remember, tables, tasks, tags, archiving, calendar, html export, and -I'm learning a bit about LaTeX. -
-In no particular order: tables, plain list folding, checkboxes and -checkbox counting [/], multiple todo sequences, tags, properties, -inactive dates, elisp formulas, html export, text export, in-buffer -markups (*/_), subtree in indirect buffer, links -
-latex, html, remember -
-spreadsheet, remember, agenda, outline, property, column view -
-remember, archive, appointment, diary, timeclock -
-Remember for fast to-do adds; use tables occasionally but mostly use -dedicated spreadsheet s/w for such functions. Hope to learn LaTeX at -some point. -
-Agenda views Table editing Properties drawers HTML export LaTeX -export -
-HTML. Remember. Tables. -
-Mainly time stamps, agendas and HTML export -
-LaTeX, Spreadsheet, Remember - -

10. Are there any other comments you would like to make about org-mode?

- - -

-Thanks for this great software, I've waited for years for such a -tool. I've wrote some tools around org in Perl, hopefully I'll find -some time to contribute. Thanx a lot -
-Great tool to stay even longer in emacs OS :-) -
-Thanks! -
-Great App, Great Support, Great Community -
-org-mode is all-the-way cool. -
-With the possible exception of Emacs itself, org-mode is my very -favorite bit of software. It has inspired me to learn LISP, so I'm -looking forward to contributing in the near future. -
-It's fantastic and the maintainership and community are both second -to none! -
-Later. :) -
-Great mode and very useful. Thanks a lot for your effort and time! -
-Great Work ! Felicitation to its author -
-It's indispensable for my current work and lifestyle. -
-It is a great package, thanks for making it available and keeping -it alive! -
-Thanks for the org-mode. I just love it! Do all my personal and job -planning with it! -
-Great tool, thanks thanks thanks :) -
-It's fantastic – thanks for the great tool. I'm getting older and -it's the only way I can "remember" everything. It's not just a great -todo list manager, but I use it to document almost everything about -my job (e.g. my original intentions about a -project/implementation). I can bury a TODO right down in the place -where I have most of the surrounding documentation. -
-I cannot overstate how valuable this mode is. It single handedly has -the potential to make laypeople aware of Emacs. Thanks so much for -working on it! -
-Love it. Love it. Love it. Carsten is awesome. -
-It's changing very fast, and I'm worried that my muscle memory will -start to fight against the changes. Still, it's good to see an Emacs -package with such active interest and support. -
-I'm a happy user. Thanks to Carten and all contributors -
-great guys on the mailinglist, great spirit, excellent product :-) -
-Carsten, many thanks for this great piece of software! Keep it -simple and usuable - not everybody follows the power user discussion -in gmane -
-Keep up the great work! :) -
-Thanks to Carsten and to people on emacs-orgmode !! -
-Been a user of GNU Emacs for the last 18years, never seen such a -fascinating major mode. I like this kind of apps since I work in -knowledge organization, and would like to contribute in some -way. Our lab gnowledge.org would like to develop a java applet that -provides org mode kind of editing. The buffer thus produced will be -converted into html when the page is being served in the -background. This will encourage the community to do structured -documentation. Our lab is now engaged in developing -beta.selfplatform.eu, where in we would like to provide this -feature. Do you think, orgmode developers would like to help us or -contribute in this endeavor. Orgmode can be very useful for -furthering semantic computing. -
-It is a great product. I does not need to grow. It might risk -feature creep. -
-Excellent package -
-Thank you, Carsten! -
-Has increased my productivity a lot! -
-Really a great thank to the author "Carsten Dominik", "chapeau" as -they say in France!!!! -
-Org-mode was relatively immature when I started using it, and I have -kept with it for 2 simple reasons: 1. The maintainer (Carsten) is -friendly, fast, accurate, and thorough 2. It works – it does what -it claims to do, and does it well -
-Org mode keeps me organized, it's outstanding! -
-hmmh, org-mode is the first thing I start in the morning and the -last I close in the evening, I guess this tells it all. -
-Org mode has been an incredibly useful tool that is fun to use. I -think a main reason for its utility is that basic use requires -little thought. When I'm using it for brainstorming, it's almost -like I'm not aware that I'm using any program – I'm just -thinking. Any changes to org-mode should preserve this -simplicity. Thanks a ton to Carsten and all the others who have -contributed to this great project! -
-Thank you Carsten! -
-Maybe we should consider a separate package or maintainer for -xemacs…. -
-Thanks, thanks and thanks. -
-Good stuff. thanks -
-It's Fun. ASCII is usually the only interface I can get used to, -because it's so fast. -
-org-mode makes me look organised (though a bit quirky). That's -enough reason to use it. -
-Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) -
-Even if org-mode stands right where it is, it has been enormously -helpful. Thank you very, very much. -
-Well done -
-Yes: org-mode progresses very well and improves with each version -
-for me its the greatest found treasure since I "dicovered" Emacs. -
-Great work! Wish I had time to contribute more. -
-Keep up the good work :) -
-It's a great software project and community. Thanks again to -everyone involved! -
-Excellent piece of software! -
-I'm very very happy with it. -
-org-mode is fantastic :-) -
-The best feature of Org are its two maintainers Carsten and Bastien -and its helpful community. -
-Great mode for emacs. I wish I was using it more -
-It is great tool. Uncluttered. Thanks to Carsten et al. -
-Rock on! -
-favorite piece of software I use. -
-I'm continually amazed by what org can do, and also by how intuitive -it is. It's not at all unusual that I find myself thinking that it -would be great if org/emacs did "x", trying what seems to me to be -the way that it would do "x" if it could, and discovering that it -functions just as I expect. And when it doesn't, there are ways to -figure it out. (And Carsten is a great developer who shines at -hearing what his users are doing, responding to expressed needs, and -even being clear if/when he decides not to do what someone would -like him to do. Other heavy users and scripters are great as well. -
-I started using Org-mode as an outliner. It is the best outliner -I've used an much more. The community is valuable but Carsten's -skill and judgment has made org-mode what it is. -
-It's a killer tool that I could not live without. -
-org-mode is great, I hope it can keep clean text file when adding -functions. -
-I forced myself to learn emacs after 25+ years in the vi camp in -order to use org-mode. Loving it. Carsten's enthusiasm and support -are a joy, and the mailing list is always refreshing. -
-I plan to run a website where users could share Org files and edit -them together. I plan to write a better exporter (and more formats!) -I think the Org syntax is mature enough to get more programs -interacting with it outside Emacs. Org is great :) -
-It's wonderful. Thanks! -
-org-mode is a fantastic program, supported by a lively helpful email -list. Carsten is very responsive to feature requests and helping. - - -

1 Introduction

- - -

-This is a loose collection of ideas and TODO items for the future -development of Org-mode. These ideas come from various sources, -mostly from emacs-orgmode@gnu.org, from direct emails to me, or from -my own day-dreaming. I don't always mention the source of an idea, -out of laziness. However, when I implement a good idea, I try to -mention the origin of this idea in the Acknowledgments section of -the manual - let me know if I forgot to give you credit for -something. -

- -

1.1 Nomenclature

- -

On this page, I am using TODO keywords in the following way: -

-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Keyword	Intention
TODO	A development that is going to happen, once I have time or once I figure out how to do it.
IDEA	A new idea, I have not yet decided what if anything I will do about it.
WISH	A wish, probably voiced by someone on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. This is less than a new idea, more a change in existing behavior.
QUESTION	A question someone asked, that needs some thinking before it can be answered
DECLINED	I have decided not to implement this feature, but I am keeping it in the list so that people can see it, complain, or still try to convince me.
INCONSISTENCY	Some behavior in Org-mode that is not as clean and consistent as I would like it to be.
BUG	This needs to be fixed, as soon as possible.
DONE	Well, done is done.
NEW	This is a tag, indicating recently added entries

- - - - -

2 Tasks

- - -

2.1 Structure

- -

TODO Definition lists, like in Muse
-
TODO Get rid of all the \r instances, which were used only for XEmacs.
-
IDEA Should we allow #+TODO as an alias for #+SEQ_TODO?
-
TODO proper visibility cycling for items
-Make them not hide the text after the final list item. -This is not trivial, we cannot usenormal outline stuff, -needs a separate implementaiton. -
IDEA allow different colors for different TODO keywords/tags.
-
TODO Use an indirect buffer for org-goto.
-Is there a problem with the overriding map? - -
WISH Inline TODO entries
-A way to put a TODO entry without starting a new section. -

- -

2.2 Agenda issues

- -

QUESTION COLUMN View
-is this safe, or could things be messed up with this? -
TODO Make S-right and S-left change TODO keywords
-Right now they change the time stamps. This could be -M-left/right, but this could also cause inconsistencies, because -when on a time stamp, the same keys do exactly this. -
WISH Make more modes changeable from the agenda
-These could be made available for toggling, just like -follow-mode. Examples: -
- -org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels -
- -org-tags-match-list-sublevels -
- -org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled -
IDEA Sort TODO entries according to type?
-This would apply for the list collection, not in the day entries. -However, I could also have a TODO keyword criterion that could be -used in the day entries, as one of the minor criteria. - -
DECLINED Allow separators in the Tag-sorted agenda view
-This feature is not going to come, because block agendas can -achieve the same thing. -

- -

2.3 Links

- -

WISH When editing links, give access to stored links.
-Not sure why this is needed. -Idea from William Henney. -
WISH Variable of standard links for completion with C-c C-l
-Or something like that, to make standard links fast. -
WISH Make brackets in links possible
-Would require a display property also for the label part of -links. -
IDEA Find all links to a specific file
-
IDEA Make info HTML links work for links to Info files
-Info links of course only work inside Emacs. However, many info -documents are on the web, so the HTML exporter could try to be -smart and convert an Info link into the corresponding link on the -web. For example, we could use the GNU software site then -Name.HTML. Here is the link to be used: -http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/ Another -question is, is this URL going to be stable so that it makes sense -to actually put this into org.el? - -
IDEA Make news HTML links work, using Google.
-I can use Google groups with a message id to find a USENET message, -even if the original link points to gnus. - -
TODO Remove irretrievable links from published HTML output
-This is on David's table, and he will hopefully integrate a -mechanism for this into org-publish.el. The discussion about this -was started by Austin Frank - -
DECLINED Agenda collections, based on #+COLLECTION lines.
-Tim Callaghan started the discussion on this one. -Declined because this would depend on local variables and the -agenda commands are global. Also, this can actually be done by -specifying the file list in a custom agenda command. - -
DECLINED Make CamelCase words link to corresponding org-mode files.
-Files in the same directory. Or some other way to easy do that. -Would be useful for publishing projects. This would be an -incompatible change, but I don't think anyone is using CamelCase -anyway? -This is marked declined, because link abbreviations now provide an -easy way to make links to other files. - -
TODO Document the character protection in links
-I don't think this is really covered anywhere. -Maybe we also should protect characters in the visible part, to -make sure thing will never be on two lines...? -
WISH Radio targets across files
-I guess each org file could write a .orgtargets.filename file, if -it has any radio targets. -

- -

2.4 DECLINED Fast update for external editing

- -

Could I use a dynamic block for this? -

- -

2.5 Tables

- -

WISH Row formulas
-@4=..... -
TODO Write a tutorial
-Demonstrate running averages. - -
WISH Make a variable that current line should be recomputed always
-in each table, skipping headers of course. - -
TODO Allow a table to locally change the unit system
-This is for using constants.el. -Well, it is now possible to do this for the file, is this enough??? -
QUESTION Does inserting hlines change references correctly?
-
WISH Interactive way to get a converted table?
-
BUG When computing in a narrowed column, this may go wrong.
-Computing changes fields and does not yet see correctly if the column -width has changed, in the case of a narrowed column. - -
DECLINED Alternative for the implementation of orgtbl-minor-mode:
-I could use post-command-hook to set the variable orgtbl-mode. -I will not do this now and only consider it if problems show up. - -
DECLINED Table info lines are not necessarily comments in orgtbl-mode
-Should I generalize this? No, because the table itself will not be -in the correct syntax for whatever mode. - -
DECLINED S-cursor motion to select part of a table, with proper highlighting.
-Similar to CUA - -

- -

2.6 Properties and Column View

- -

TODO Mouse support for selecting values
-This could/should be part of org-mouse.el. -
- -[X] tags -
- -[X] todo -
- -[X] priority -
- -[X] allowed values -
- -[X] deadline -
- -[X] scheduled. -
BUG We have no clear view on what to do with properties upon export.
- -

- -

2.7 Compatibility issues

- -

Emacs 21 compatibility
-This is being phased out. Almost everything works under Emacs 21, -but in the future I wwill make little effort to support it. -
- DECLINED Column view does not yet work for Emacs 21s.
  -Declined, because I don't know how to do this. Too many -problems. -
-
XEmacs compatibility
-
- QUESTION Is there an issue with the coding system of HTML exported files?
  -In the code I used to have a comment saying that -
```
-  (and (fboundp 'coding-system-get)
-       (boundp 'buffer-file-coding-system)
-                 buffer-file-coding-system))
-
```
  -always returns nil, implicating that setting the coding system for -the export buffer would not work correctly. however, I have never -followed up on this and never had a bug report - so I am wondering -if there is an issue at all. - -
- DECLINED Column view does not yet work for XEmacs.
  -Declined, because I don't know how to do this. Too many -problems. -
- DECLINED Rewrite the `format' function
  -To make narrowing work under XEmacs, I would need to write a -version of format that does transport text properties, or I -would have to rework narrowing entirely. Unlikely that this will -happen, mainly because it is working in Emacs and so does not -bother me personally so much. Anyway, I don't know if people are -actually using narrowing very much at all. - - -
-

- -

2.8 Exporting

- -

IDEA Convert links to footnotes for ASCII export.
-
DECLINED Store LaTeX code as HTML comments
-Declined because I don't really see the need for this. -
IDEA Microformats
-Nic Ferrier has been pushing this agenda for a long time, for -example with this email. I am not deep enough into the semantic -web that I could do this myself. Maybe we can do this by -modifying the html exporter step-by-step? -
INCONSISTENCY Find a better place for formatting checkboxes
-Right now this is being done as part of `org-html-expand', which -does not seem logically correct. -
DECLINED Can I make the exporter more efficient?
-The line-by-line processing may not be the fastest way to do -this. It certainly uses more resources. Right now the exporters -do work though, so it is unlikely that I am going to change this. - -
DECLINED CSV import/export of tables?
-I remember this coming up several times, for example in emails -from Niels Giesen and Tim Callaghan. Org-mode does have -Tab-separated export of tables, so right now I don't really see -the benefit of adding CSV export. Are there applications that do -not understand tab-separated files, but do understand -comma-separated ones? - -
DECLINED In HTML export, make links from the time stamps
-Time stamps have their own class now which allows to highlight -them etc. But I was wondering if something more useful could be -done with them, like a link to some kind of calendar... - - - -

- -

2.9 Miscellaneous Stuff

- -

TODO reinstating a repeated item: keyword for logging.
-
BUG Comments cannot be filled
-
DECLINED HAVE a TIME 3:55 line collecting CLOCK results
-The CLOCK lines could be there in addition, or could even be -removed, so that only one line is kept. -
IDEA New uses for C-c C-c
-
- -Compute time interval on time range -
- -Update CLOCK interval -
QUESTION Fix more beginning-of-line commands
-Org-mode re-binds C-a to make this command go to the beginning of -a visible line. There are other keys which might invoke C-a. -Should these keys be changed as well? one could use -`substitute-key-definition' on the global map to find them all. -
QUESTION Inlining of images in Org-mode files
-
TODO Fixup outline-magic.el, so that it can be used.
-
TODO Use the new argument of bibtex-url
-Roland Winkler was kind enough to implement a new argument to the -`bibtex-url' command that allows me to retrieve the corresponding -URL, whether it is taken from a URL field or constructed in some -clever way. Currently I am not using this, because too many -people use an old Emacs version which does not have this. -however, eventually I will implement this. -
WISH Get people to write articles about how to do GTD with Org-mode.
-There is now one by Charles Cave, read it here - -
IDEA Tree statistics
-A key that can be applied to a tree, showing statistics: -
- -how many headlines -
- -how many TODO -
- -how many DONE -
- -Checkboxes -
- -etc.... - -
QUESTION Do we need a 43 folders implementation?
-That could easily be done in an org-mode file. But then, maybe -this should really be a paper thing. - -

Priorities
-Here is some information about priorities, which is not yet -documented. -

Priorities
-

    TODO entries: 1 or 1,2,...
-    DEADLINE is 10-ddays, i.e. it is 10 on the due day
-                          i.e. it goes above top todo stuff 7 days
-                               before due
-    SCHEDULED is 5-ddays, i.e. it is 5 on the due date
-                          i.e. it goes above top todo on the due day
-    TIMESTAMP is 0        i.e. always at bottom
-                          but as a deadline it is 100
-                          but if scheduled it is 99
-    TIMERANGE is 0        i.e. always at bottom
-    DIARY is 0            i.e. always at bottom
-
-    Priority * 1000
-
-

INCONSISTENCY: items don't grow/shrink due to promotion.
-In plain lists, multiple demote/promote commands executed directly -after each other don't change the scope of the command - the -initially selected text continues to be selected. This is -inconsistent with the behavior of outline sections, were the subtree -for promotion/demotion is newly defined after each command. Which -convention is better? Should this be consistent between trees and -plain lists? - -
INCONSISTENCY: M-TAB does not work on plain lists. Why???
- -
QUESTION grep on directory does not yet work.
-I am actually not sure, I might have addressed this already, but -my memory is failing me. Needs some checking. - -
DECLINED Think about Piotr's idea of treating TODO like a TAG.
-The answer is probably NO because the simple part of TODO must -still be there and I like the keyword at the beginning of the line, -just like a checkbox. Of course you can make a TODO tag yourself -at any time. - -
DECLINED Inlining of external files
- -
DECLINED Should TAB on TODO keyword rotate its state?
-Problem: If the keyword disappears, it will suddenly start to fold.... -So my feeling right now is that the answer should be NO. - -
-No, because S-left/right does this already pretty well -
-
DECLINED Create a DONE counter in the mode line
-That counter shows what faction of entries has been marked DONE. I -am not yet sure how useful such a thing would be, because of the -huge number of entries that can be in a file, and the different -weight of such entries. -Declined because we do now have counters for checkboxes, and the -feeling is that this is not so useful for TODOs. - -

-SCHEDULED: timestamp goes here - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:17) Change default for include-all-todo to nil
- -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:17) Specify TAGS in a special line instead of collecting them dynamically
-The could help to avoid typos and could be faster for very large files. - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:17) Some much faster interface for setting tags.
-Basically, use single keys to add/remove tags from the list. Also -for this the idea to define tags in a special line would be good, -in order to have a way to define the shortcuts. - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:17) Remove date stamps from headline if they are not needed.
-Bug report from Scott. - - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:17) : Maybe s-up/down should change priorities only in headlines
-Right now this works wherever the cursor is. If this is changed, -should S-up or S-down do something else? - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:21) Need a command to remove tabulators from a line.
-Use this in ASCII export, to make sure we get the indentation -right. - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 09:24) Improve tab in org-cycle:
-
- -there is a bug when the setting is 'white: It requires a -non-empty white line! -
- -There should be another setting to have tab be the tabulator in -the white space at the beginning of the line. -
- -Finally, when TAB closes an entry, maybe it should go beck to the -beginning of the entry??? On the other hand, it is good to be -able to go back to the old place with just another tab. - -
DONE( 2006-06-01 Thu 11:48) Include TAGS into sorting.
-But what strategy should be used when there are several tags? - -
DONE( 2006-06-06 Tue 10:15) Archiving an entry in current buffer goes to end of file
-Should go to end of subtree. -This is done now, and I also control the amount of empty lines -created by the archiving process in general. - -
DONE( 2006-06-06 Tue 10:16) Narrowing agenda to current files does not work as advertized.
-C-c a 1 t should make the TODO list for the current file, but does -not. - -
DONE( 2006-06-06 Tue 10:17) Radio TAGS for the fast tag interface.
-Make lists of tags that are mutually exclusive. So when I turn on -@HOME, @WORK would be turned off automagically. A good syntax for -defining these groups in the #+TAGS line would be: -
```
- #+TAGS: [@WORK(w) @HOME(h) @CLUB(c)] Laptop(l) PC(p) Car(r)
-
```
-This could indicate that @WORK, @HOME, @CLUB are mutually exclusive. - -
-If I do this, I will also need a syntax for the global alist to -indicate the same thing. -
-
-It seems to me that with such grouping of tags, sorting would be -useful as it would improve the overview over the current tags. I -might even be able to support mutually exclusive tags with -fontification in the interface. Or arrange things such that the -mutually exclusive ones are all in the same row or column, to -optimize the visual feedback. -
-
-For the internal format, I think best would be something like -
-
-
```
- '( (:startgroup) ("@work") ("@home") ("@club") (:endgroup)
-    ("Laptop") ("PC") ("Car"))
-
```
-This setup makes sure that assoc and rassoc still do work as -expected. -
-
DONE( 2006-06-06 Tue 10:17) Should tags be sorted in a certain way?
-Right now, you can either set the tag sequence yourself through -the completion interface. If you use the fast tag selection -interface, the tag sequence depends on the order in which tags are -selected and deselected. maybe a specific roder would be useful -for example the same order as the one given in the configuration? - -
DONE( 2006-06-06 Tue 10:17) Remove narrowing cookies for export
-Exported tables should not show narrowing cookies. In fact, if a -table line does contain nothing but narrowing cookies, the entire -line should be removed. - -
DONE( 2006-06-11 Sun 07:32) Track working times similar to time-clock.el
-This was proposed by David O'Toole in an -email to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. He wants to be able to know the -times when he worked at a particular project. Some reporting -possibility would be needed to make this useful. Maybe sparse -trees with broken-down working times? - -
DONE( 2006-06-15 Thu 13:35) Make org-store-link do better in image-mode buffers
-Just link to the file. - -
DONE( 2006-06-15 Thu 13:35) Use a ported version of noutline.el
-Programming the old outline-mode is really a nightmare - the new -outline mode that uses invisibility properties instead of -selective display works really much much better. There is now -an experimental port by Greg Chernov, so when I find time I will -try if this works well. If yes, this port should become part of -XEmacs. Once that happens, I could remove a large amount of -ballast from org.el - -
DONE( 2006-06-15 Thu 13:35) Verify links during export
- -
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:11) Allow counting checkboxes
-Then some statistics should be displayed. One idea is for -checkboxes, to use a special box [%] which will be updated with -percent of done. I could have an alternative [/] that will be -updated with something like [19/25] to show progress, and when the -two numbers are equal, I could highlight then in DONE face, just -like [100%]. All smaller numbers could be highlighted even in -TODO face if I wanted. Hmmm, I am beginning to like this. - -
-Then: how to update this? Each time a checkbox is added or -toggled, go up and update all the counts, right up to something -which is not an item, or up to the previous header line. -
-
-Maybe I should also make an option for turning this on, to avoid -slowdown. I guess for long lists this could be slow. -
-
-Also would need a command for global update. -
-
-An maybe plain list and checkboxes should get their own chapter? -In Structure they seem to be a bit hidden..... -
-
-Also a menu sublist... -
-
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:11) Allow stacking calls to org-occur
-This was a proposal from Piotr. It is now possible, the second -and subsequent calls to org-occur need a prefix argument to keep -the previous highlights. - -
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:12) Create a hook to be run after an agenda buffer has been finalized.
- -
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:12) Include TAGS into sorting.
-But what strategy should be used when there are several tags? - -
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:12) Fixup tag display in agenda buffer.
-The tabs mess up everything. Either remove the tabs, or realign -the tags to some useful column. - -
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:12) Blocks in agenda:
-Make a single agenda buffer that contains several sets of items, -like the TODO list, a tags list, and a day view. Not a bad idea. -This was Piotr's idea. - -
DONE( 2006-09-25 Mon 16:12) Make org-store-link do the right thing in dired-mode

- -
DONE( 2007-01-24 Wed 12:59) M-TAB on an already complete tag should add the ":"
- -
DONE( 2007-01-24 Wed 13:07) Need a command to do show hierarchy after isearch.
-Maybe automatically, using isearch-mode-end-hook. But this does -not seem to work, because to is called before the overlays are -re-installed. I can create a new hook, isearch-exit-hook, run in -`isearch-exit'. - -
DONE( 2007-02-18 Sun 07:16) hook for users to do their own agenda lists
-New function dumping headline into the agenda buffer, based on regexp -and callback, to allow general stuff. For the special tags, we can -search for one and check for the others using the callback. - -
DONE( 2007-02-18 Sun 07:37) Make C-c C-l also work on a plain link, converting it into bracket.
- -
DONE( 2007-02-18 Sun 07:37) GNUS <gnus:mail.general#123> stuff should be "Email from:..."
- -
DONE( 2007-02-18 Sun 07:38) Email/message context: What format?
-I can think of two good formats for this: -
```
- Email from John Smith   (if I an the receiver)
- Email to John Smith     (if I am the author)
-
```
-or -
```
- John Smith on: Some subject     (this is the current Org-mode default.)
-
```
-The first format requires better parsing of the messages (to get -both author and receiver names), and also -some way to detect if I am the author of this email or not. - -
DONE( 2007-02-21 Wed 12:04) Allow internal links to match inside other link
-Only the link itself that actually triggered the search. - -
DONE( 2007-02-21 Wed 12:07) Allow fully protected HTML code that will be exported as is
-Currently, <...> works only for simple tags, and I think we -should have something better. Idea: Text between <protecthtml> -and </protecthtml>, mark it with a text property and then exclude -each match in the run preparing the export. -I guess I could require these at the beginning of the line, like - - - -
-or something like that....... -
-
DONE( 2007-03-13 Tue 05:19) Make it possible to set TOC levels independently of headline levels
-The easiest way to do this would obviously be to allow a number -setting for the tco switch, not only a simple t/nil switch. This -can be nice for webpages: One could have only top-level or level -1 and 2 in the toc at the beginning of the page, and then still a -more complex structure below. - -
DONE( 2007-03-13 Tue 05:20) Filling is not done in a compatible way.
-The current setup used the Emacs variables and machine to get the -filling of plain lists and everything lese right. XEmacs uses the -filladapt package, which has different ways to do the same -things. org.el should be smart about this and setup filling under -XEmacs correctly. - -
DONE( 2007-06-06 Wed 17:44) Repeating Schedules?
-Dieter Grollman requested this feature, but for now I have decided -not to do anything about it. I don't see a good way to implement -this, and I believe that cyclic diary entries are good enough for -such tasks. - -
DONE( 2007-06-14 Thu 13:16) improve item indentation when promoting and demoting
- -
DONE( 2007-06-14 Thu 13:17) The TODO buffer lists possible TODO keywords
-These are taken from the current buffer, so when multiple buffers -are involved, this list may not be correct..... - -
DONE( 2007-06-14 Thu 13:20) Conflict between bold emphasis and headlines
-At the beginning of a line, Org-mode does not know if bold is a -headline or an emphasis. This will not be easy to fix. The way -to do ii is to require a space after the star in headlines. This -requires to change outline-regexp, outline-level, the many many -times when outline regexp is used in the program, and also the -countless times when I am simply matching th stars directly. - -
DONE C-c - for cycling bullet types.

-Even when org-agenda-remove-times-when-in-prefix is set, there -seem to be cases where this does not work. I forgot what the -example was - does anyone remember? - -
DONE Links are still highlighted in fixed-width environments.
-ARCHIVED: 2007-07-02 Mon
