Re: [O] Calendar-like view of the org-agenda
Hi, Thank a bunch for Calfw. It is great. - Add defcustoms for line drawing chars. - Added cfw:org-agenda-schedule-args variable to limit the schedule items. Is is somehow possible to change the font family used in Calfw windows only? Using my regular font, Monofur, the table gets screwed when using Unicode characters for line drawing. If I switch to e.g. Terminus everything looks properly. Thus, I'd like something like #+begin_src emacs-lisp (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'font Terminus-11) #+end_sry But very local (i.e. only in 'this' particular windows). For some reason, changeing the font family for Calfw's line drawing affects all of Emacs. Thanks, Rasmus -- Sent from my Emacs

Re: [O] Calendar-like view of the org-agenda
Sorry for my less experience of orgmode. Can I get a sample task file which contains such complex schedules? I can illustrate the point with a simple one :-): * TODO Thank Sakurai for a great tool 2011-07-05 Tue :MH: * TODO Write paper 2011-07-05 Tue :JF: We share org files among different people (e.g., for software projects) and use tags to determine whose task it is and in whose agenda it should appear. The first one should appear in MH's agenda and the second one in JF's agenda. A lot of people use the same to have, e.g., a home agenda and a work agenda: * TODO Buy groceries 2011-07-05 Tue :home: * TODO Ask boss for a raise 2011-07-05 Tue :work: Currently, both tasks will appear in the calfw view. In the normal org agenda views the necessary filtering is done via the org-agenda-custom-commands variable, defining a custom agenda command with a filter (this is the recommended way of creating different agendas and todo lists in org). For example, to get an agenda view with only my tasks, which I identfy with the tag MH I use (this is my normal agenda view): (setq org-agenda-custom-commands (list (list a Agenda with (only) my tasks (those that have my tag and a date) '((agenda ((org-agenda-skip-function '(my-skip-by-tags MH)) (org-agenda-overriding-header Agenda -- with (only) my tasks (those that have my tag and a date)) )) (defun my-skip-by-tags (tag) Skip tasks except those that contain tag (with inheritance!). (let ((line-end (save-excursion (progn (end-of-line) (point) ;; return pos (if (or (member tag (org-get-local-tags)) ;; check first if only local (speed) (member tag (org-get-tags-at (point))) ;; rest include inherited tags ) nil ; do not skip line-end))) ; skip, continue after that The particular filter that I use (my-skip-by-tags) is a function that checks for inherited tags.

For me, creating a custom org agenda with the next 21 days takes not much less than building an calfw calendar buffer with 42 days. Same here, the times are comparable. For me building the org calendar is a little slower but it makes sense because it is running some filters, while calfw is not. Which brings me to my question, which is related to: One thing which I'm currently missing is that the calfw entries gathered from org are missing the times (if that's specified using the 'time text property) and are sorted in an order I can't understand. Seems like calfw is ignoring the org priorities and order. In my case the problem is that calfw is gathering all the tasks ignoring my per tag filters. I explain: in my case I only want to see in my agenda entries that have a certain tag (my tag): I share org files with other people and we assign tasks by marking E.g., I am MH and my tasks are like: * TODO Thank Sakurai for a great tool 2011-07-05 Tue :MH: which should appear in my agenda and there are other tasks like: * TODO Write paper 2011-07-05 Tue :JF: which should only appear in JF's agenda. This is done using a custom agenda command that filters by tag. It seems to me too complicated to try to reproduce all the nuances and capabilities of org agenda generation (priorities, filtering, custom views, etc.) and do it all again in calfw --it would always be very hard to keep them in sync. I have not had time to look at the code, but perhaps calfw, instead of reading directly the org files could instead use the org code that generates the agenda and then present the agenda in its very nice and graphical way. I.e., an idea would be to add a back end to the code that generates the org agenda which, instead of rendering the agenda creates the calfw objects. Or, perhaps even simpler, calfw could simply read the org-agenda buffer (colors and all) instead of reading the org files. This would have the enormous advantage that it would always generate the tasks with the same order, priorities, filters, customizations, etc. as the org agenda. What do you think

Hi Tassilo and Bastien +(defvar cfw:org-agenda-schedule-args '(:scheduled) + Default arguments for collecting agenda entries.)

You don't want to have to insert unicode characters there. You are right, it would not be enough to simply replace the characters, one would have to translate the traditional input to the unicode characters on the fly. But it looks sooo much better and would be, strictly speaking, still just plain text. I love org-mode for its power and flexibility but I grew up using an Amiga, laughing at the MS-DOS users with their ancient text mode interfaces and I still can't force myself to like that aspect of org. So everything that makes it look more graphic is welcome to me.

For example, : Yes. The current implementation, calfw sorts the items by alphabet, i.e. string-less, in one date cell. This is intent to sort the items which has time header like 10:00 meeting 13:00 go to airport 16:00 meeting. Yeah, that would work. However, org times are usually ranges like 10:00-12:00 which is 11 characters wide. You don't want to prefix the displayed items with that, because then you wouldn't see anything from the item's description text. So I'd prepend the times so that I can see them when hoovering with the mouse on that item. Of course, then `string-less' won't sort according to date.

Seems like calfw is ignoring the org priorities and order. In my case the problem is that calfw is gathering all the tasks ignoring my per tag filters.

This is done using a custom agenda command that filters by tag. It seems to me too complicated to try to reproduce all the nuances and capabilities of org agenda generation (priorities, filtering, custom views, etc.) and do it all again in calfw --it would always be very hard to keep them in sync. I read the code of org-agenda-list and subsequent callee functions. Indeed it was very hard way and I didn't understand all codes because I was not a orgmode user. Then, I use the function org-agenda-get-day-entries to get schedule items of the org-agenda-files. The function can receive some arguments to limit the tasks, but I didn't understand exactly. Do you use this function? If so, it may be easy to implement a simple filter. ... org-agenda-get-day-entries can take more arguments like :scheduled :deadline to help reduce the size of listed entries. See the docstring of org-diary, which understands the same list of arguments. I use the org-agenda-custom-commands variable and define a command with a filter (this is the recommended way of creating different agendas and todo lists in org). For example, to get an agenda view with only my tasks, which I identfy with the tag MH I use (this is my normal agenda view): (setq org-agenda-custom-commands (list (list a Agenda with (only) my tasks (those that have my tag and a date) '((agenda ((org-agenda-skip-function '(my-skip-by-tags-mytag MH)) (org-agenda-overriding-header Agenda -- with (only) my tasks (those that have my tag and a date)) )) (defun my-skip-by-tags-mytag (tag) Skip tasks except those that contain tag (with inheritance!).

I am not sure this can be done with org-agenda-get-day-entries. This is why I was suggesting perhaps using a modified version of org-agenda that would feed data to calfw instead of (or, perhaps even better, in addition to) generating the org agenda views.

Another thing: If you have several split windows and calfw selects a window very narrow in height (or there are simply too many items for some day), then not all items are shown. That would be ok if there was some indication that some items are missing. Bye, Tassilo

First, thanks very much to Sakurai for a wonderful tool and having integrated it so well with org! For me, creating a custom org agenda with the next 21 days takes not much less than building an calfw calendar buffer with 42 days. Same here, the times are comparable.

I.e., an idea would be to add a back end to the code that generates the org agenda which, instead of rendering the agenda creates the calfw objects. Or, perhaps even simpler, calfw could simply read the org-agenda buffer (colors and all) instead of reading the org files.

However, unfortunately it does not solve the other problem: I particularly like having a graphical view of my commitments, especially for a month, without worrying about detail. Org's agenda view becomes cumbersome (for me) when going beyond a week's view (or even a day sometimes...) [1]. Me too, but the problem with the current approach is that, at least for me, this view is full of tasks that are not mine, are in a different order (not by priorities), etc., which then does not help.

I also think key binding should be improved. I would try to implement TAB key navigation you mentioned. The problem of navigation is discussed on the github issue too. https://github.com/kiwanami/emacs-calfw/issues/2 4. I do not know whether it is possible due to the dynamic construction of mode maps in calfw.el, but it would be nice if you could take advantage of the self-documenting nature of Emacs by including a reference to the keymap in the docstring for the various modes. For cfw:calendar-mode this would be st. like: : I will do this. Thank you for your helpful code. 5. (perhaps slightly OT) From your screenshots I see you have no problem with putting multibyte (japanese) characters inside a grid, something with which I always have problems (e.g. in org tables but also in your calendar). Do you do anything special to make that work? Instead of `length', the function `string-width' of mule.el should be used to calculate display width of the string. This function treats not only East Asian characters but also complex Unicode ones. Some functions, such as `cfw:render-truncate', use it. However, it is not so easy for Japanese users to fit a grid, because of the font and rendering problems of Emacs. One can find many Japanese blog articles about beautiful font setting on Emacs. Thank you for your many comments.

I wonder if things could be sped up if the orgmode agenda was calculated for the entire period all at once and then broke that up into days? For me, creating a custom org agenda with the next 21 days takes not much less than building an calfw calendar buffer with 42 days. It's about one second for the former and 2 seconds for the latter, so it seems calfw does the right thing. Thank you for your confirming. I implemented calfw-org with consultation of the code of org-agenda-list. I think it is difficult to make the speed faster with a simple way, the re-design of the whole org-agenda-list algorithm seems to be needed, because the key function org-agenda-get-day-entries requires only one date and the subsequent dependent functions also are designed by the API. One thing which I'm currently missing is that the calfw entries gathered from org are missing the times (if that's specified using the 'time text property) and are sorted in an order I can't understand. For example, : Yes. The current implementation, calfw sorts the items by alphabet, i.e. string-less, in one date cell. This is intent to sort the items which has time header like 10:00 meeting 13:00 go to airport 16:00 meeting. It is not so difficult to add a customize of the sort criteria. And you can try your custom summary format, modifying cfw:org-summary-format. In the function, you can get the time value from the text property.

I'm very encouraged! For me, creating a custom org agenda with the next 21 days takes not much less than building an calfw calendar buffer with 42 days. : Seems like calfw is ignoring the org priorities and order. In my case the problem is that calfw is gathering all the tasks ignoring my per tag filters. I explain: in my case I only want to see in my agenda entries that have a certain tag (my tag): I share org files with other people and we assign tasks by marking E.g., I am MH and my tasks are like: * TODO Thank Sakurai for a great tool 2011-07-05 Tue :MH: which should appear in my agenda and there are other tasks like: * TODO Write paper 2011-07-05 Tue :JF: which should only appear in JF's agenda. This is done using a custom agenda command that filters by tag. It seems to me too complicated to try to reproduce all the nuances and capabilities of org agenda generation (priorities, filtering, custom views, etc.) and do it all again in calfw --it would always be very hard to keep them in sync. I read the code of org-agenda-list and subsequent callee functions. Indeed it was very hard way and I didn't understand all codes because I was not a orgmode user. Then, I use the function org-agenda-get-day-entries to get schedule items of the org-agenda-files. The function can receive some arguments to limit the tasks, but I didn't understand exactly. Do you use this function? If so, it may be easy to implement a simple filter. I have not had time to look at the code, but perhaps calfw, instead of reading directly the org files could instead use the org code that generates the agenda and then present the agenda in its very nice and graphical way. I.e., an idea would be to add a back end to the code that generates the org agenda which, instead of rendering the agenda creates the calfw objects. Or, perhaps even simpler, calfw could simply read the org-agenda buffer (colors and all) instead of reading the org files. This would have the enormous advantage that it would always generate the tasks with the same order, priorities, filters, customizations, etc. as the org agenda. The face property and other text properties which are put by org-agenda-get-day-entries, are remained in calfw buffer. Customization of summary texts of org items is the variable cfw:org-schedule-summary-transformer or the function cfw:org-summary-format. Because I have used orgmode not so heavily, the current integration is very simple. I think calfw can display the items in any way how you want. I would implement simple ideas as soon as possible.

Ok. Here you go:
1. I have just send you a patch off-list to deal with bad sexps caused by
unbound `span' variable (this appears e.g. in diary-sunset and friends -- see
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html). And while writing this email,
you notified me you have applied it... thanks!
2. For people using org-google-weather and using icons to spicen up
their agenda views for the weather, there is a problem with the grid as
the icons do not fit well inside a grid.
The simplest way to get around this I guess is advising
`cfw:org-collect-schedules-period' (I use a similar strategy for
`org-mobile-push' where one would otherwise only see the text icon).
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defadvice cfw:org-collect-schedules-period (around no-icon activate)
(let (org-google-weather-display-icon-p)
ad-do-it))
#+end_src
3. I'd like to select items with my keyboard, but the normal emacs
navigation bindings are not available. Maybe tabbing to items in
`cfw:details-mode' (but preferably also in cfw:calendar-mode) would do
it for me, where it would be nice if the mouse echo was also shown when

4. I do not know whether it is possible due to the dynamic construction
of mode maps in calfw.el, but it would be nice if you could take
advantage of the self-documenting nature of Emacs by including a
reference to the keymap in the docstring for the various modes. For
cfw:calendar-mode this would be st. like:
#+begin_src diff
This hook is called at end of setting up major mode `cfw:calendar-mode'.)
(defun cfw:calendar-mode (optional custom-map)
- Set up major mode `cfw:calendar-mode'.
+ Set up major mode `cfw:calendar-mode'.
+
+\\{cfw:calendar-mode-map}
(kill-all-local-variables)
(setq truncate-lines t)
(use-local-map (cfw:calendar-mode-map custom-map))
#+end_src
This way users have a quick overview of keybindings by pressing C-h m.
5. (perhaps slightly OT) From your screenshots I see you have no problem
with putting multibyte (japanese) characters inside a grid, something
with which I always have problems (e.g. in org tables but also in your
calendar). Do you do anything special to make that work?
