[Apologies if this is off-topic - I haven't read your message carefully, as I was catching up on email between jobs.] Not sure whether it'll work any better, but there is run-with-idle-timer. C-h f run-with-idle-timer <RET> says: ,---- | run-with-idle-timer is an interactive compiled Lisp function in | `timer.el'. | | (run-with-idle-timer SECS REPEAT FUNCTION &rest ARGS) | | Perform an action the next time Emacs is idle for SECS seconds. | The action is to call FUNCTION with arguments ARGS. | SECS may be an integer, a floating point number, or the internal | time format (HIGH LOW USECS) returned by, e.g., `current-idle-time'. | If Emacs is currently idle, and has been idle for N seconds (N < SECS), | then it will call FUNCTION in SECS - N seconds from now. | | If REPEAT is non-nil, do the action each time Emacs has been idle for | exactly SECS seconds (that is, only once for each time Emacs becomes idle). | | This function returns a timer object which you can use in `cancel-timer'. `---- HTH, Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
