Jason Not entirely serious: has anyone ported emacs to the N800 or OpenMoko Jason yet? I have a N800 and I haven't found a port yet, so I would need to try to build it myself. My goal is to get emacs-nox running on the N800, and then run it from an Xterm. Unfortunately the lack of a keyboard will make it difficult to use. On the other hand I can already use rsync or SVN to synchronize the files with n800. So for people who are willing to work with a regular text editor this is not a too-bad-approach. --dmg I have an N800 too, but to be honest, even with a BT keyboard, emacsen would be pushing it. At the moment, for me at least, PDA's, phones etc are good for reading and reviewing of tasks/actions or whatever and as an 'inbox' for text/voice remember notes. At least if you want to use org-mode as your canonical repository of tasks. To get a PDA to interact/sync properly with Org mode, you'd need native tools that understand org mode files and could update the PDA's native TODO/Calandar/Contact/whatever information via its own API's. In the book Getting Things Done, David Allen says that it is not the tool you use, as much as it is how easy it is for you to be able to use it to GTD. PDA's, even running emacs, would are too cumbersome to be effective at Org GTDing without *org specific* tools IMHO.

[Orgmode] Re: Create new heading after this one command

Re: [Orgmode] Set timestamp duration
Nuutti Kotivuori [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'd like an easy way to set the duration of an appointment (a timestamp) after it has been created. For new appointments, I cannot think of an easier way to insert duration than inserting it at the prompt. For example, to set a appointment for tomorrow from 20:00 to 22:00, you would do this: C-c . | org-time-stamp S-right | select tomorrow date 20:00-22:00 | insert the duration return| you're done! For existing appointments, just put the point on the timestamp and edit it as if you were creating it.

Re: [Orgmode] Moving an item to a precise place
A really stupid solution is also to promote the entry to top level with M-left, then to move it down with M-down, then to demote it again with M-right. For short distances this requires the lease amount of thinking. I found this stupid solution appealing (not sure what this says about me ;), but learned that in my set-up M-up performs the same action as M-S-up -- i.e, it moves an entire tree rather than just a heading. So I have this -- * Heading 1 ** Subheading 1 * Heading 2 ** Subheading 1a ** Subheading 2a If I put point on **Subheading 1a and do M-left, I have this: * Heading 1 ** Subheading 1 * Heading 2 * Subheading 1a ** Subheading 2a If I then have point on * Subheading 1a and do M-up, I get this: * Heading 1 ** Subheading 1 * Subheading 1a ** Subheading 2a * Heading 2 Emacs 22.1.1 Org 5.09 -- John Rakestraw signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Clocktable from multiple files?

Including CLOCK entries from all org-agenda-files in its summaries This one is really needed, yes. Will add this soon. 2. Including CLOCK entries from archive files associated with files used to construct its summaries. Right now I can't archive completed projects because of the need to include them and their tasks in monthly reports, for example. I am not so sure about this. The whole idea about archiving is that this project should no longer be used in all the list compilation by org-mode. So my feeling would be that you should keep that tree in your work file until you no longer need it. Also, with some files having multiple archive files, this gets messy. 3. Conversely, limiting summaries to only a subtree (having a clock table per project, for example). I don't need this right now, but someone consulting or freelancing for several clients probably would. Indeed, also very useful. This will happen. - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
Re: [Orgmode] Default date and closing all org buffers
On Sep 19, 2007, at 18:48, Sivaram Neelakantan wrote: When I use Org mode to record a TODO, the date is more often than not, some day in the future. C-c C-s defaults to the current date but can it be presented as an editable field in the minibuffer? That way, I save a few keystrokes. The same for the C-c C-d deadline option. I doubt that an editable field will save you keystrokes. You need to look, and to move the cursor etc. The Org-mode function that is reading your input is quite smart, so you rarely need specify a full date. For a full description read the documentation of the `org-read-date' function. The following is cut and paste from there: The prompt will suggest to enter an ISO date, but you can also enter anything which will at least partially be understood by `parse-time-string'. Unrecognized parts of the date will default to the current day, month, year, hour and minute. For example, 3-2-5 -- 2003-02-05 feb 15-- currentyear-02-15 sep 12 9 -- 2009-09-12 12:45 -- today 12:45 22 sept 0:34 -- currentyear-09-22 0:34 12-- currentyear-currentmonth-12 Fri -- nearest Friday (today or later) +4-- four days from today (only if +N is the only thing given) I use C-tab to cycle through the buffers. While in org mode, after using C-c a a and having a quick look at the days agenda, I rarely go back to it, except to close the items. But I do spend a lot of time cycling through 4/5 buffers and when I hit the org buffers, the cycling stops as c-tab is mapped differently in org-mode. What I'd like, is a configuration to close-all-agenda-files/buffers, so that one can go back to the default action of c-tab of mine. In org-mode I do like the s-tab/c-tab behaviour, except that when cycling through buffers, it gets in the way; so I think there should be a way to close/kill all org buffers once you're out of org buffers. I usually have 6 org files that I put my different action items in. If you exit the agenda with x instead of q, all buffers that were loaded by the agenda-constructing command will be killed (when the buffer was modified you will be asked if you want to save it). This might already be enough for you? - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
