31 ;; This library add a registry to your Org setup.
33 ;; Org files are full of links inserted with `org-store-link'. This links
34 ;; point to e-mail, webpages, files, dirs, info pages, man pages, etc.
35 ;; Actually, they come from potentially *everywhere* since Org lets you
36 ;; define your own storing/following functions.
38 ;; So, what if you are on a e-mail, webpage or whatever and want to know if
39 ;; this buffer has already been linked to somewhere in your agenda files?
41 ;; This is were org-registry comes in handy.
43 ;; M-x org-registry-show will tell you the name of the file
44 ;; C-u M-x org-registry-show will directly jump to the file
46 ;; In case there are several files where the link lives in:
48 ;; M-x org-registry-show will display them in a new window
49 ;; C-u M-x org-registry-show will prompt for a file to visit
51 ;; Add this to your Org configuration:
53 ;; (require 'org-registry)
54 ;; (org-registry-initialize)
56 ;; If you want to update the registry with newly inserted links in the
57 ;; current buffer: M-x org-registry-update
59 ;; If you want this job to be done each time you save an Org buffer,
60 ;; hook 'org-registry-update to the local 'after-save-hook in org-mode:
62 ;; (org-registry-insinuate)
