As per a recent discussion on the mailing list, I'm using the following to enable persistence and extended length of the clock history:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; Org clock-in (org-clock-persistence-insinuate) (setq org-clock-persist t) ;;; * Orgmode Modules (add-to-list 'org-modules 'habits) ;; Number of clock tasks to remember in history. (setq org-clock-history-length 35) ; 1 to 9 + A to Z --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It works great, with one annoying problem: now that I have a list that goes to M, it can be hard to figure out which shortcut goes to which item. I can think of two possible solutions: 1. Alternately highlight lines, or underline (spreadsheet/table style) 2. Preferably, since I use Helm, if there were simply an autocomplete prompt (like switch-buffer; no shortcut keys) this would actually be easiest. Can I disable the special pop-up screen (i.e. `org-clock-select-task') and just use an shortcut-less autocomplete prompt (which, with helm will be facilitated)?
