This dynamic block will list all items (including their priority) that link to
the item at point or to any of its parent items. The use case for this is to
have a series of periodic appointments where certain topics should be
discussed (“jour fixe”), and where those topics can be referenced in those
appointments via backlinks. However, simple backlinks to an item on a fixed
date is not sufficient here, as there might not be enough time on that day to
discuss all items. To avoid having to manipulate all backlinks that could not
be discussed, one could simply add a reference to the parent item of all
appointments of the jour fixe series. Using the new dynamic block introduced
here, this item will be on the list of open topics until it's closed.
Somehow, using lispy in the minibuffer causes random indentations although
everythin is on the same line. This might not be an issue with lispy itself,
disabling it however makes the symptom go away. Since I am not using lispy
features in the minibuffer anyway, I can as well switch it off.
There's a new mode map `eshell-hist-mode-map` which already contains a binding
for `M-r`, so we have to redefine that key binding there to make it work.
This allows to keep ideas for later in dedicated NOTE items, to group them
together. Not sure whether this is really a good idea, as it spreads those
ideas around, but let's try it out!
When inserting links multiple times, it's annoying to have to go back to the
original place the link points to and reinsert it into the stored link list.
Using a universal argument to toggle `org-link-keep-stored-after-insertion` is
also not an option, as I keep forgetting to use it.
Instead, by default keep all links after insertion. To be able to handle the
growing list of links, we now provide a function `db/org-clear-stored-links` to
set the list of stored links to the empty list.
We want `org-ql-search`, but need to install `org-ql`, so it's best to simply state
this in the `:ensure` declaration.
The `:commands` specification might be redundant, as `org-ql` comes with an
autoload file. But let's keep it there for clarify purposes.
This includes, among others, a dynamic block to insert the result of a query –
which is exactly what I am looking for. I have to learn a new query language,
though, but it seems as if non-sexp syntax is easy enough; and having a
lisp-like query syntax is undoubtedly a big improvement!
This way, the WIP list faithfully shows all WIP items and gives a better
overview of the current work load. Items will appear twice though when they are
scheduled today or in the past.
This should allow to have TODO subtasks in templates without them appearing in
agenda views, among others.
Tried to update some agenda views, but some configurations may still be missing.
When things are scheduled, they are shown in the time grid portion of the
agenda. When they are scheduled in the future, they will not show up until that
date is due; when they are scheduled in the past or present, they are shown on
the time grid directly. Both situations are sufficient, and it's thus not
necessary to show scheduled items in other lists as well.
Started dates are also WIP, in particular if they have been interrupted. Items
scheduled in the future should only appear on the WIP list when they are due.
I regularly filter the main agenda view for the CONT tag to see my WIP items, so
it's propably meaningful to have this as extra list. It's using some space in
the agenda view, though, so let's see how this will turn out.
This had been used to synchronize my calender with others, but since this
synchronization is not in use anymore, regular exports are unnecessary.
Furthermore, the export makes Emacs unresponsive sometimes, as the export does
not seem to be easily preemtable.
Enabling this somehow caused performance issues in Org Mode buffers, and since I
am not using this syntax, let's just disable it. This setting can be
overwritten via the Customize interface.
This allows to postpone projects into the future when they are not relevant now
but would otherwise be stuck. Because of the scheduling, an automatic reminder
will appear on the agenda when the date is due, upon which the projects is shown
again as stuck. Then new items can be planned, or other measure might be taken.
This should make the main agenda view into a good overview of everything that
can be done right now, allowing it to choose the next task directly from that
list. The scheduled items then are only meant for information and hiding future
tasks.
I had ≈9500 entries and I think this had been too much, causing noticable lag
when closing Groupd. In particular my email volume is much lower than this.
