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