Re: [O] how to add some features in a newly added headline?
Hi John, Thanks a lot. In org 8.3, there seems to be no org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers. If I replace it with org-end-of-meta-data, I get a PROPERTIES drawer which is open, not collapsed. Since it is a new heading, it should have no drawers, so I am guessing org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers and org-end-of-meta-data should be identical? I don't want to sound too demanding about a collapsed PROPERTIES drawer but it is so distracting I cannot stop myself from compulsively collapsing it after adding every heading. Which is when I added the insert-char and 2 org-cycles.

Re: [O] how to add some features in a newly added headline?
I would define a function for this, so you can call it only when you want. this does what you describe for me (org 8.2.10) (defun my-heading () (interactive) (org-insert-heading) (org-id-get-create) (save-excursion ;-> add time stamp (org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers) (newline) (org-time-stamp-inactive '(16 On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 8:14 AM, Bingo UV wrote: > (add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook > '(lambda() > (org-id-get-create) ;-> Adds ID property > (insert-char 48) ;-> required for next 2 org-cycles to collapse > the properties drawer > (org-cycle) > (org-cycle) > (save-excursion ;-> add time stamp >(org-end-of-meta-data t) >(org-time-stamp-inactive '(16)) >(newline) >) > ) > ) > John --- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu
[O] how to add some features in a newly added headline?
Hi, When I create a new headline, I want a set of features in it: 1. The ID property in the properties drawer 2. The properties drawer should be collapsed 3. An inactive timestamp at the beginning of text 4. Cursor at the beginning of heading Currently, I have a hook for org-insert-heading-hook, after learning and experimenting with emacs lisp for a while, but it has serious problems: (add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook '(lambda() (org-id-get-create) ;-> Adds ID property (insert-char 48) ;-> required for next 2 org-cycles to collapse the properties drawer (org-cycle) (org-cycle) (save-excursion ;-> add time stamp (org-end-of-meta-data t) (org-time-stamp-inactive '(16)) (newline) ) ) ) This makes org-insert-heading create an entry like the following: * 0 -> cursur after this 0 :PROPERTIES: [2016-01-16 Sat 08:40] Most of the problems stem from the insert-char. First of all, it enters a useless "0" character which I have to manually remove by backspace. Secondly, when I read from mobile-org, it converts TODO into 0TODO, which is to say it converts useful into useless. But I cannot live without it because without this 0, org-cycle doesn't collapse the entry but instead, indents the subtree. Can someone show a simple way to achieve the 4 features automatically in a new entry? I used to strongly feel it should be very easy, but I am at my wits' end now. thanks a lot
