To mark whole projects as SOMEWHEN may further declutter the main project list.
To not loose sight of those SOMEWHEN projects, however, they are not explicitly
shown in the SOMEWHEN list.
The SCHEDULED entry for projects (not for their respective tasks) is now used to
move currently irrelevant projects out of sight, and schedule them for later
resubmission. Indeed, those projects will reappear on the main project list
when the SCHEDULED date is due.
This function is referenced in some doc string already, and could as well be
public, so let's make it so. This amounts to removing a dash from it's function
name.
This allows the same copy behavior as before (apart from newly introduced bugs,
that is), but in addition gives the possibility to copy bodies of arbitraty
items that can be choosen interactively. This might come in handy when copying
general checklists from anywhere in the main Org mode file to the current task.
This allows to insert links to items that were recently clocked into. The
selection to those items is done via `org-clock-select-task`, which itself will
display items from `org-clock-history`.
plantuml-mode derives from prog-mode, which in my coniguration automatically
activates subword-mode. However, as plantuml uses barewords as strings, those
are rarely meant to be in camel-case (indeed, typos are much more common) and
subword-mode is more distracting than helpful.
So far, only a toggle for playing and pausing was available. Providing a
shortcut for `emms-stop` makes unconditionally sure the music is stoped.
Funnily(?), this also replaces an obsolete shortcut for `emms-show`.
In general, all tasks of the previous week should still be present in this week
and the week before, so there's no need to activate archive mode by default. If
it's necessary after all, it can be activated manually.
This only means to wrap a `use-package` around the variable settings, but since
I may be playing around with this in the future, it's better to visually group
this configuration already now.
It's easier for the weekly review to see only those items that were closed, as
those may still have pending actions that need to be captured. Items not yet
closed are still available on the calendar, on the Next Action list, or
elsewhere.
We only ignored future items so far, but those that are scheduled today or in
the past are also in our focus (i.e., our the daily agenda). So let's not show
those as well.
This is the same sorting as it is used in the Next Action list, and should
provide a better overview over the current items on the Waiting-For list.
Formatted the value for `org-agenda-sorting-strategy` on one line for better
readability, and also changed that for the definition of the Next Action list.
The Read capture template did not properly ask for the topic and did not have a
placement indicator for the cursor, fixed that. The Response capture template
now has a “Reply ” action word to indicate the proper action, and also has a
placement indicator in it. This way, it should be easier to use these capture
templates.
As with the next action list, it's better to keep the reading list in sight so
that when I decide what to do next, it's there and showing me all the
possibilities.
At work, I am using the category to record the cost centers of the corresponding
actions. Maybe sorting the next action list gives a better understanding of the
overall set of actions by clustering them by category?
I somehow have the feeling that my next action list is not “present” enough and
so I am afraid to miss things. As an experiments, let's try to display the next
action list in the main agenda view to always have it in sight.
So far, we only considered one link in a headline and replaced it with its
description when linking to it. When there are multiple links, this will fail.
This commit changes this by iterating over all links in the headline, not only
the first one.
So far, when a link is discovered in a headline, we only keep the description of
that link. This will throw away the context of that link, which is
undesirable. So let's keep it.
When inserting links to other Org items or to the currently clocked-in item, the
complete target headline is used as a description in the newly inserted link.
When that target headline is itself a link, the newly inserted link will contain
the complete link as a description, rendering it unreadable and also
malformed (it's not allowed to have two consequtive brackets in the description
of a link). To remedy this, we now explicitly check the target headline for
being a link, and if so, only use the description of it as the description in
the newly inserted link.
In that case, I sometimes want to add extra information, like scheduling a
date or adding extra references. This is not easily possible when the capture
is closed immediately.
Using the buffer name does not seem to play well together with org refile
keeping the last choice on top of the candidate list, because a slash is
automatically appended to this entry. This results in an invalid refile
location. Thus reverting back to only using the file name, it's fine this way.
When the link to another item is already present in the history of
`org-store-link`, nothing is updated. Inserting the topmost link then results
in a wrong link being inserted.
Not using `org-store-link` at all fixes this problem and also leaves the history
of `org-store-link` untouched. It also simplifies the implementation by not
relying on the complexity of `org-store-link`, but instead just only using
`org-entry-get` and `org-id-get-create`.
Those will be done somewhen, if at all, and are not necessarily associated with
any action. So let's keep them off the reading list consisting of read actions.
