30 ;;; Commentary:
32 ;; Mode Description
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
40 ;; mode.
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
49 ;; file.
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
70 ;; afterwards.
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
89 ;; its buffer).
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
94 ;; installation.
96 ;; Version
98 ;; Which version of todo-mode.el does this documentation refer to?
100 ;; $Id: todo-mode.el,v 1.49 2001/11/17 04:01:31 rms Exp $
102 ;; Pre-Requisites
104 ;; This package will require the following packages to be
105 ;; available on the load-path:
107 ;; time-stamp
108 ;; easymenu
110 ;; Operation
112 ;; You will have the following facilities available:
114 ;; M-x todo-show will enter the todo list screen, here type
116 ;; + to go to next category
117 ;; - to go to previous category
118 ;; d to file the current entry, including a
119 ;; comment and timestamp
120 ;; e to edit the current entry
121 ;; E to edit a multi-line entry
122 ;; f to file the current entry, including a
123 ;; comment and timestamp
124 ;; i to insert a new entry, with prefix, omit category
125 ;; I to insert a new entry at current cursor position
126 ;; j jump to category
127 ;; k to kill the current entry
128 ;; l to lower the current entry's priority
129 ;; n for the next entry
130 ;; p for the previous entry
131 ;; P print
132 ;; q to save the list and exit the buffer
133 ;; r to raise the current entry's priority
134 ;; s to save the list
135 ;; S to save the list of top priorities
136 ;; t show top priority items for each category
138 ;; When you add a new entry, you are asked for the text and then
139 ;; for the category. I for example have categories for things
140 ;; that I want to do in the office (like mail my mum), that I
141 ;; want to do in town (like buy cornflakes) and things I want to
142 ;; do at home (move my suitcases). The categories can be
143 ;; selected with the cursor keys and if you type in the name of a
144 ;; category which didn't exist before, an empty category of the
145 ;; desired name will be added and filled with the new entry.
147 ;; Configuration
149 ;; Variable todo-prefix
151 ;; I would like to recommend that you use the prefix "*/*" (by
152 ;; leaving the variable 'todo-prefix' untouched) so that the
153 ;; diary displays each entry every day.
155 ;; To understand what I mean, please read the documentation that
156 ;; goes with the calendar since that will tell you how you can
157 ;; set up the fancy diary display and use the #include command to
158 ;; include your todo list file as part of your diary.
160 ;; If you have the diary package set up to usually display more
161 ;; than one day's entries at once, consider using
163 ;; "&%%(equal (calendar-current-date) date)"
165 ;; as the value of `todo-prefix'. Please note that this may slow
166 ;; down the processing of your diary file some.
168 ;; Carsten Dominik <dominik@strw.LeidenUniv.nl> suggested that
170 ;; "&%%(todo-cp)"
172 ;; might be nicer and to that effect a function has been declared
173 ;; further down in the code. You may wish to auto-load this.
175 ;; Carsten also writes that that *changing* the prefix after the
176 ;; todo list is already established is not as simple as changing
177 ;; the variable - the todo files have to be changed by hand.
179 ;; Variable todo-file-do
181 ;; This variable is fairly self-explanatory. You have to store
182 ;; your TODO list somewhere. This variable tells the package
183 ;; where to go and find this file.
185 ;; Variable todo-file-done
187 ;; Even when you're done, you may wish to retain the entries.
188 ;; Given that they're timestamped and you are offered to add a
189 ;; comment, this can make a useful diary of past events. It will
190 ;; even blend in with the EMACS diary package. So anyway, this
191 ;; variable holds the name of the file for the filed todo-items.
193 ;; Variable todo-file-top
195 ;; File storing the top priorities of your TODO list when
196 ;; todo-save-top-priorities is non-nil. Nice to include in your
197 ;; diary instead of the complete TODO list.
199 ;; Variable todo-mode-hook
201 ;; Just like other modes, too, this mode offers to call your
202 ;; functions before it goes about its business. This variable
203 ;; will be inspected for any functions you may wish to have
204 ;; called once the other TODO mode preparations have been
205 ;; completed.
207 ;; Variable todo-insert-threshold
209 ;; Another nifty feature is the insertion accuracy. If you have
210 ;; 8 items in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4 questions
211 ;; by the binary insertion algorithm. However, you may not
212 ;; really have a need for such accurate priorities amongst your
213 ;; TODO items. If you now think about the binary insertion
214 ;; halfing the size of the window each time, then the threshhold
215 ;; is the window size at which it will stop. If you set the
216 ;; threshhold to zero, the upper and lower bound will coincide at
217 ;; the end of the loop and you will insert your item just before
218 ;; that point. If you set the threshhold to, e.g. 8, it will stop
219 ;; as soon as the window size drops below that amount and will
220 ;; insert the item in the approximate centre of that window. I
221 ;; got the idea for this feature after reading a very helpful
222 ;; e-mail reply from Trey Jackson <trey@cs.berkeley.edu> who
223 ;; corrected some of my awful coding and pointed me towards some
224 ;; good reading. Thanks Trey!
226 ;; Things to do
228 ;; These originally were my ideas, but now also include all the
229 ;; suggestions that I included before forgetting them:
231 ;; o Fancy fonts for todo/top-priority buffer
232 ;; o Remove todo-prefix option in todo-top-priorities
233 ;; o Rename category
234 ;; o Move entry from one category to another one
235 ;; o Entries which both have the generic */* prefix and a
236 ;; "deadline" entry which are understood by diary, indicating
237 ;; an event (unless marked by &)
238 ;; o The optional COUNT variable of todo-forward-item should be
239 ;; applied to the other functions performing similar tasks
240 ;; o Modularization could be done for repeaded elements of
241 ;; the code, like the completing-read lines of code.
242 ;; o license / version function
243 ;; o export to diary file
244 ;; o todo-report-bug
245 ;; o GNATS support
246 ;; o elide multiline (as in bbdb, or, to a lesser degree, in
247 ;; outline mode)
248 ;; o rewrite complete package to store data as lisp objects
249 ;; and have display modes for display, for diary export,
250 ;; etc. (Richard Stallman pointed out this is a bad idea)
251 ;; o so base todo-mode.el on generic-mode.el instead
253 ;; History and Gossip
255 ;; Many thanks to all the ones who have contributed to the
256 ;; evolution of this package! I hope I have listed all of you
257 ;; somewhere in the documentation or at least in the RCS history!
259 ;; Enjoy this package and express your gratitude by sending nice
260 ;; things to my parents' address!
