[Orgmode] schedule tasks
Hi folks, I'm trying to do this: 1. schedule a TODO on THIS_DAY 2. before THIS_DAY, don't show it in global todo list. So I have: (setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t) 3. on(and after when not done) THIS_DAY, show it in global todo list While, to my surprise, on THIS_DAY, the scheduled TODO doesn't show up in the todo list!! The manual (info (org) Deadlines and scheduling) says: Important: Scheduling an item in Org mode should not be understood in the same way that we understand scheduling a meeting. Setting a date for a meeting is just a simple appointment, you should mark this entry with a simple plain time stamp, to get this item shown on the date where it applies. ... Does this mean that it will show in the calendar? I'm new to orgmode. I'm thinking of referring to TODO list most of the time. Is this a good way? Since switching between agenda and TODO list looks a bit unconvenient to me. -- William http://xwl.appspot.com ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

While you could use this model: 1. Add all your tasks to just one file. 2. archive everything that is billed and payed. I prefer to use one file for my personal agenda, and one per customer. Those files tend to grow to more than just a few hundred lines, and it's easier to find a task in the future. Todo files for active projects/customers are added to my list of agenda files (`C-c ['). That way it's easy to find the file by pressing `C-,' repeatedly (e.g. during a phone call). You can type `C-,' with one hand easily. If the project/customer is not active anymore (nothing else to do), I do a `C-c ]' to remove the file from my list of agenda files. This keeps the agenda fast and clean.

I have a small problem when I want to put a double backslash in the list of
authors, for example.
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+AUTHOR:Main author \\ Second one
--8---cut here---end---8---
gets exported in LaTeX as
--8---cut here---start-8---
\author{Main author \\textbackslash{} Second one}
--8---cut here---end---8---
What's not the expected result...
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
Best regards,
Seb

Re: [Orgmode] RSI
A few tips from an emacs hand who has had issues with repetitive strain in the past: The first thing I did after starting my first real job (years ago, when my RSI was pretty bad and my employer-supplied keyboard was in violation of the geneva conventions): 1. I got a kinesis contoured keyboard (like the Kinesis Advantage I'm typing on now.) It places C- and M- (Alt key) under your thumbs. (You could even assign them to foot pedals, though I never managed due to lack of rhythm -- guess I should have taken drumming classes at school.) The layout is completely programmable without additional software. In short: it's the ultimate emacs keybaord. 2. More recently, I had a flare up (Apple's wireless mouse is the work of the devil, for my hands at least.) It was then that I discovered Sticky Keys. Sticky keys takes some getting used to. It makes every modifier key work a little like caps lock. Sounds horrible, doesn't it? Well, it's not really. Basically, if you press control once, it locks control down for the next keystroke only, after which point the keyboard returns to normal. Press control twice, and it locks down until you release it with a third press. C-x C-f Used to be: press and hold control. Press and release x. press and release f. Release control. Now it's Press and release control twice. Press and release x. press and release f. Press and release control. This turns out to be easier on my hands because I don't find myself contorting my hands across the keyboard while I try to hold down more than one key at a time. I have sticky keys turned on on all my computers, except for the one at work where I have the kinesis keyboard. 3. I've rebound caps lock to control on all my keyboards (apart from the kinesis, where I have caps lock bound to the windows key.) 4. I have a happy hacking keyboard, which has control where caps lock is on an AT keyboard (and no caps key). The happy hacking keyboard has the drawback that it has no right control key.

There's no emacs magic that makes what I describe below work, It's all hardware and features built into my various operating systems. (more below). // Ben 2009/9/7 B Smith-Mannschott bsmith.o...@gmail.com A few tips from an emacs hand who has had issues with repetitive strain in the past: The first thing I did after starting my first real job (years ago, when my RSI was pretty bad and my employer-supplied keyboard was in violation of the geneva conventions): 1. I got a kinesis contoured keyboard (like the Kinesis Advantage I'm typing on now.) It places C- and M- (Alt key) under your thumbs. (You could even assign them to foot pedals, though I never managed due to lack of rhythm -- guess I should have taken drumming classes at school.) The layout is completely programmable without additional software. In short: it's the ultimate emacs keybaord. 2. More recently, I had a flare up (Apple's wireless mouse is the work of the devil, for my hands at least.) It was then that I discovered Sticky Keys. Sticky keys takes some getting used to. It makes every modifier key work a little like caps lock. Sounds horrible, doesn't it? Well, it's not really. Basically, if you press control once, it locks control down for the next keystroke only, after which point the keyboard returns to normal. Press control twice, and it locks down until you release it with a third press. C-x C-f Used to be: press and hold control. Press and release x. press and release f. Release control. Now it's Press and release control twice. Press and release x. press and release f. Press and release control. This turns out to be easier on my hands because I don't find myself contorting my hands across the keyboard while I try to hold down more than one key at a time. I have sticky keys turned on on all my computers, except for the one at work where I have the kinesis keyboard. I've found that recent versions of windows (XP and later, possibly earlier too), Mac OS X and the Gnome Desktop all support some form of sticky keys. I found it buggy in in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 but it works reliably in 9.04. [The specific problem is this: under 8.04 and 8.10 the option disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed together doesn't work. clearing this checkbox does not write through to the corresponding gnome registry setting. Editing of said setting by hand is the workaround. Also, attaching an external keyboard causes Gnome to forget that it's supposed to be using sticky keys.] 3. I've rebound caps lock to control on all my keyboards (apart from the kinesis, where I have caps lock bound to the windows key.) The ability to rebind caps to control is built into both Mac OS X and Ubuntu (GNOME). In years past I've used a registry hack on windows to achieve the same affect. I don't anymore because I use my Kinesis with my windows machine and Kinesis does rebinding in hardware. 4. I have a happy hacking keyboard, which has control where caps lock is on an AT keyboard (and no caps key). The happy hacking keyboard has the drawback that it has no right control key. (Sticky keys helps here too.) // Ben ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hi Erwin Erwin Panen wrote: - Is there any command line parameter to point emacs to a specific /dir/subdir/.emacs_2 file? This would allow me to experiment with various subsets of .emacs settings? Don't know if this helps at all, but I do the same thing myself. I have a copy of Emacs on a USB stick, and my Org-mode files on a TrueCrypt volume on the same stick. I synchronize the org files with my desktop using Subversion and Tortoise SVN. Works a treat. On the USB stick, I have a batch file called notepad.bat containing the following. The equals signs just delineate the start and end of the file, they're not part of the file: == @echo off set OLD-HOME=%HOME% set HOME=%cd% set /p DRIVE_LETTER=Enter drive letter of SD card: %DRIVE_LETTER%:\_Usb\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe notepad.org set HOME=%OLD-HOME% set OLD-HOME= set DRIVE_LETTER= Also on the stick, I have a shortcut to the batch file with Target: N:\emacs-data\Notepad.bat Start in: N:\emacs-data Windows seems to be smart (unusual, I know) in that it has no problem with the hard coded drive letter in the shortcut. If drive changes letter on mounting, it copes. But you must create the shortcut with the correct drive letter at that moment. The Start in value designates the current directory which the batch file picks up in the %cd% environment variable and sets HOME to it, so that Emacs knows where to get the .emacs file. Perhaps you could make different shortcuts with different Start in values pointing to folders containing different .emacs files. The complication with %DRIVE_LETTER% is because the USB stick and Emacs itself get mounted with one drive letter and then my org files and .emacs are mounted on the encrypted volume with another drive letter, and the batch file encrypted volume has no way of knowing the drive letter of the USB stick to start Emacs.

I use the category to visually see what client a task belongs to on the agenda quickly. I use tags to filter tasks on the agenda. I use entire files to group tasks for a client so they can be added/removed from the agenda easily. So for every client project file I'll have the main file and an archive file to keep the entire history of whatever I've worked on in the past. Archive dead stuff to keep the agenda response time fast. Adding and removing clients from the agenda is simply adding and removing entire files from org-agenda-files. I have a client X that has multiple clients (A, B, C, D, etc), and I work on their client's systems. In this case I have org files X-A.org, X-B.org, ... , X-D.org since their clients come and go and I want to only keep the stuff I work on in my agenda.
