Re: [Orgmode] Quickly inputting next actions to specific lists.
Hello guys! Thank you for the replies. It has been some time but I had lots of work to do here so didn't have much time to play around. So, refiling doesn't do exactly what I would like. Some issues I've found: * I need to write the data in a buffer first and then C-c C-w to refile it. * It only allows you to refile to the root items and doesn't go any deeper. * If I'm processing items in a different file (I've setup org-remember to save the items in a different file) I don't have access to my gtd.org file lists (can't refile between different files). -- is there a way to get the items from another file? org-remember is really powerful and I use it a lot when I have ideas that I want to process later. However, sometimes you have a specific cristal-clear next-action in your head and you know where it belongs (i.e the project), but you want to quickly input it and keep working. This is something I miss from PlannerMode, where you can quickly input an item and choose which file it will go, so, that's what I would like org to have, a **quick way to input items interactivelly, all through the mini-buffer.** Is there a way to do that? If not, I keep it as a suggestion for next releases. I'm also willing to contribute as soon as I master elisp! Keep up the great work, Marcelo.

Re: [Orgmode] Quickly inputting next actions to specific lists.
The only thing that I still didn't get is how to configure the org-refile-targets variable, I tried doing like this: (setq org-refile-targets 5) But it throws an error. What is the correct param for that? Also, how could I ask emacs the correct param for a specific var? Thanks! Marcelo.

[Orgmode] Quickly inputting next actions to specific lists.
Hello list, Let's say I have some next action that I know exactly where to put (what list), in other words, I don't need to process it (in the GTD terms), I just need to put it in the correct list. What I would like to do is some interactive function that would allow me to quickly input a new next action to a specific list. Maybe each main list in the project could have a shortcut (like tags do) and when you run this function you enter the string for the next action item, and quickly says where you want it to go, and it appends it there.
