[Orgmode] pabbrev

2007-09-17 Thread Kevin Brubeck Unhammer

Hi all,

I just discovered pabbrev-mode  
(http://homepages.cs.ncl.ac.uk/phillip.lord/download/emacs/pabbrev.el),  
which seems really great, but in org-mode (5.09) the suggestions don't  
show up until i press TAB twice (meaning that if there are several  
suggestions, I have to press 0-9 to choose one each time). Does anyone  
know of a way to get it to work alright with org-mode? (I understand that  
the TAB key is taken for view-cycling when in headlines, but I can't see  
any good reason why the suggestions shouldn't automatically show up in  
org-mode...)

Re: [Orgmode] [BUG?] Diary entries do not appear in timeline

Hi,

With org-mode 5.08, pressing C-a L does not show my diary
entries.

My org mode file contains entries like that:

%%(diary-anniversary 09 6 2007) Lubin %d ans
...

I only see my meeting entries (but there are not diary entries
just standard item timestamped).

Is that a bug ?


H, including the diary entries would make this operation
very expensive, because every day would have to be checked, starting
from an unknown starting date in the past to an unknown ending date
in the future.  The timeline display is fast because if first makes
a list of dates in the buffer and then gets full displays only for
these.  This means that dates with repeaters and diary stuff
will not work, unless by chance - i.e. if the day is being listed
anyway because some other simple timestamp pointed to it.

It may be better to use restricted call to the daily/weekly
agenda for this, but force a starting date and a number
of days to check.

[Orgmode] Inform about unviewable changes

2007-09-17 Thread Daniel Clemente
  Hi,

   I have in a document a large section: a title (with a TODO tag) and
a lot of lines, so many that they don't fit in the screen.
   I'm at the end and I don't see the title. I want to cycle the
completion tag (from TODO to the next state). I press C-c C-t and it
works... but I don't see anything. I must go manually to check that
now the tag is the one I expected.

   Maybe org could show a message at the minibuffer describing the
change? For instance „Set tag DONE to section ** make dinner. Or
„Changed from TODO to DONE in section ** make dinner. Or simply
„Set tag DONE, or „Changed from TODO to DONE.
   Just like paren-mode when the matched parenthesis is too far away.

   5.09, Emacs21.

   Thanks,
Daniel

Re: [Orgmode] org-mode PDAs

2007-09-17 Thread Ian Barton



  I would like to know if there are any PDA or Smartphone devices to use
  with org-mode, and be able to sync between them with ease.

Since the files are plain text anything that is capable of syncing plain 
text files should work. Although you can edit/display the files on your 
pda, I think that hardly any pda's can run emacs, so you lose a lot of 
the functionality of being able to use org mode.


For simply referring to data in your files I find that exporting my org 
files to html, copying to my phone, then viewing them on my smartphone's 
browser works well.


Ian.

Not entirely serious:  has anyone ported emacs to the N800 or OpenMoko
yet?

Can someone help me understand the advantage of running Emacs in pda?
Emacs is an keyboard driven application and pda sucks at keyboard
input. How would these two things match?

The new smartphones have a qwerty keyboard (see blackbery, and palm
treo). I don't know how fast you can be, but it's about bringing our
favorite working enviroment to our pocket since most of us have
everything inside emacs (mail, org, text editor, etc).

At least thats what I feel the need for, an emacs to go :P

I don't think that most people would choose to run Emacs on a PDA (phone) if
they had a desktop/laptop available. The scenario where Emacs on a phone
seems attractive is when your only options are Emacs on your phone or
writing on your hand.

As someone who's used Emacs on a HTC Mogul though[1], I completely agree
with your point. Generally PDAs/phones don't make very good Emacs devices,
not so much because typing on their keyboards is slow, but because almost
all physical phone keyboards (excluding external keyboards) lack Control and
Meta keys. As you can imagine, Emacs without Control or Meta is not very
useful or fun.

Cheers,
Scott

I am curious if you find this useful after a while, Phillip himself
says that it is more useful for programming than for writing text.
It works much better for repetitive text than for expressive text.


Well, I use org-mode for taking notes while reading, and for psychology  
texts eg. it's really nice not having to write suprachiasmatic out every  
time (plus, in Norwegian, as in German, compound nouns get bunched  
together into one word).



I *think* you need to add org-self-insert-command and (if you
use orgtbl-mode) orgtbl-selt-insert-command to the list in
pabbrev-expand-after-command-list.


Thanks lots, this works great :-)

I'm a bit skeptical about this. I find messages nearly mandatory when
they deal with *invisible* changes. But I'm not sure it is that common
to change a TODO keyword when the point is far away from the headline.

Maybe others could comment on this?

I stopped using the lognotestate option because it populated my buffer

Another (maybe undocumented) new feature is that if you exit the
note buffer with C-u C-c C-c, the note will be canceled and not even a 
time stamp recorded.

Pretty useful if one does not want to customize his states.

  I would like to record some comments JUST on certain states,

   This will be possible in the next version

Hi,

   The only restriction is that you no longer can use @ as a
   selection character for fast TODO selection.

This seems perfectly acceptable to me. Just a question though:
what will happen if a user type '@' in the fast todo selection ?
Will it bug at us ?

Re: [Orgmode] Release: Org-mode 5.09

2007-09-17 Thread Xavier Maillard
Hi Carsten,

   Org-mode 5.09 is available at http://orgmode.org.

  - Taking a note upon TODO state changes can be restricted to
selected states.

Perfect !

  - The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now t.

Yeah, one more line will disappear from .emacs for me ;)

  - Priority cycling goes back to the nil state.

Perfect !

  - You can store a remember note to the *last used* location.

Perfect !

It seems this release is addressing many of my complains. Thank
you very much.
