[Orgmode] timestamp editing
When I edit a timestamp using c-c , or similar, I find that there is no minibuffer history, so the arrow keys do not seem to do anything useful. Perhaps they are useful for some other purpose? Therefore the arrow keys seem free, for at least some users. At the same time, shift-arrow keys work to edit the minibuffer overlay feedback date, but they do so in a different way from timestamp editing in the outline buffer (up and right arrows mean earlier). They are intuitive for editing the calendar. At least for me, this would work best: arrow keys navigate the calendar, while shift arrow keys change the minibuffer. Then shift arrows would work for the minibuffer as they do in the outline buffer, and arrows would work as expected in the calendar. Has this been considered before?

[Orgmode] a small remember suggestion
org-remember -- use a file On more than one occasion, I have composed something using org-remember, and mistakenly hit a key for killing the buffer. With all buffers except org-remember, this kills a buffer if it has no unsaved text, and asks what buffer to kill if it does, at which point I quit. With org-remember, the buffer has unsaved text, but it is not associated with a file, so it loses text. Text is probably lost upon a crash also. My suggestion is this. Perhaps org-remember can have a file (this fixes the killing problem), and that file can be autosaved (this fixes the crash problem).[fn:4] There is one more case in which text is lost. You might run org-remember from org-remember and not undo. My existing proposal is to allow calling o-r from o-r. I think that solves it. In such a case, however, it will be necessary to allow more than one such file. [fn:4] In principle, if the target location is known, the file can be an indirect buffer into that buffer. This has other advantages, including having all in-buffer settings work, being able to isearch, having a crashed org-remember stay where it is supposed to be (albeit unfinished) and so on. But it wouldn't be necessary to get that fancy. Just any file would work. -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialism is causing death (decades early; Jason et al. 2006) and severe suffering (worse than nearly all other diseases studied; e.g. Schweitzer et al. 1995) and grossly corrupting science. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] todo sequence with exceptions
I have the following todo states: TODO ACTION WAITING DONE and CANCELED I would like my sequence to be: TODO ACTION WAITING DONE and have WAITING and CANCELED extra somehow. so that I enter WAITING and CANCELED with a prefix or so. is there a way to get that with the standard featues?

Re: [Orgmode] a small remember suggestion
[I am reposting this to the list, as I'd intended. IOt turned out I'd responded only to the OP.] I posted regarding this problem in an earlier thread about losing relatively large and complex *remember* buffers that I had forgotten to save (C-c C-c). My usage has improved, and this has been much less of a problem; however, after another, particularly painful incident, I am again studying this problem. I have tested two solutions that were presented earlier, but neither one of them specifically solves this problem. Each of them is a workaround, and either one is acceptable as such, but requires certain adjustments, albeit this is only slightly annoying; I can learn to work around them if need be. I may not have elucidated the problem clearly in the original post. I use remember every day, and have at least 50 different templates. I have gotten used to saving the notes with C-c C-c each time; however, when I'm working late, am a bit tired, or the stress from work has gotten to me, I might---as I did yesterday---spend a couple of hours studying a problem and make a complex table of the partition structure of my machine, only to realize after I had changed buffers a couple of times, and used remember at least once more, only to discover that the I had failed to save the *remember* template buffer. Alas! I throw up my hands in despair, but remembering that the digital computer, I search for a backup file. Backups have saved me hundreds of hours, if not days, of work in the past. Need I say more? The *remember* buffer is not saved or backed up in any way. The ideal solution would be for this buffer to be automatically backed up---to actually exist somewhere and be backed up just as a textmode buffer is. Carsten earlier posted an at least partial solution to this problem. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defadvice remember-finalize (before org-save-and-detach activate) (when buffer-file-name (save-buffer) (setq buffer-file-name nil))) (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook (lambda () (org-set-local 'change-major-mode-with-file-name nil) (write-file ~/path/to/remember_backup.org) (org-set-local 'remember-buffer (buffer-name))) 'append) #+END_SRC He said he would not include it in org-mode because one would be using remember out of its realm by making is a work buffer instead of a quick capture-or-note buffer. I admit I have used a wrench as a hammer at times, to the chagrin of the true mechanic. I have found remember a useful tool. I admit I haven't understood its mechanism: I have even been confused by it. I use the templates, but am still a novice: I have written fairly complicated org-remember templates, but I still haven't gotten my head entirely around what they can do. I have used it in whatever manner seemed useful at the time. So it is actually helpful to see how org-remember is intended to be used, that one should immediately file his notes. But I have found this tool so useful (and my wrench is always handier than my hammer!) in my own way, that I will continue to operate in my unorthodox mode. All's the same, I hope a convincing argument to include this solution. I would second the need to include a numbered backup mechanism to cover recursive calls to org-remember. That being said, I have also started using %! in some templates. It feels clumsy, but for the most part solves the problem, since I seldom use the refiling options on the remember splash header. It doesn't work as nicely with complicated templates with several prompts, and it is capricious: for example, I don't understand how to force the cursor to a particular position. This problem happens at such a low frequency, for me, that an automatic backup mechanism would be sufficient, especially if it recognized a second instance of the *remember* buffer. Something more transparent would be ideal. I'm not sure how to organize that the *remember* buffer would automatically be saved as a file transparently, with numbered backups for new *remember* buffers. Remember rocks!

With all buffers except org-remember, this kills a buffer if it has no unsaved text, and asks what buffer to kill if it does, at which point I quit. With org-remember, the buffer has unsaved text, but it is not associated with a file, so it loses text. Text is probably lost upon a crash also. My suggestion is this. Perhaps org-remember can have a file (this fixes the killing problem), and that file can be autosaved (this fixes the crash problem).[fn:4] There is one more case in which text is lost. You might run org-remember from org-remember and not undo. My existing proposal is to allow calling o-r from o-r. I think that solves it. In
