Re: [O] Scatter-gather idea

Thanks for the feedback. As to the question, what is scatter-gather? -- It's the idea of gathering up scattered pieces of text and consolidating them in another place, whether elsewhere in the same buffer or in another file. Using tags would work, and I've done something similar in my home-brew

Re: [O] Scatter-gather idea

You don't need those temporary marks I think. Just store the positions in a variable or use overlays or text properties. You could even make a speed key to run the mark command. It could be implemented from a helm command pretty easily too. You can easily make multiple selections with helm.

[O] problem with org-ref after upgrading org-mode from 8.3 to 9.0.5

Hi, after the upgrade (require 'org-ref) results in the error message: (error "Required feature ‘let-alist’ was not provided“) I am using Aquamacs 3.3 GNU Emacs 25.1.1. I looked for let-plist using list-packages and found: let-alist 1.0.4 built-in What is going wrong?

[O] Scatter-gather idea

Org-mode has nearly everything that other outlining tools have, and generally much, much more. But one thing that is missing (and there's been sporadic traffic about this) is convenient scatter-gather. BrainStorm WFO has this; it's not like I'm going to start using it as an alternative, but such a

[O] Bug: Can't execute C code block from remote directory [9.0.5 (release_9.0.5-401-g86ff11 @ /Users/xcy/src/org-mode/lisp/)]

Hi. My computer is running Mac OS, I would like to run some C code from my VPS which is running GNU/Linux Ubuntu. For example, #+BEGIN_SRC C :dir /ssh:xuchunyang.me: puts("Hello, World!"); #+END_SRC but when I execute this code block with C-c C-c, it popups *Org-Babel Error Output* and here is

[O] Bug: Empty result when Emacs Lisp code block evals to nil [9.0.5 (release_9.0.5-401-g86ff11 @ /Users/xcy/src/org-mode/lisp/)]

Hi. I notice that if the result is nil during executing emacs-lisp code block, org simply displays a empty #+RESULT block. For example, #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp t #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: : t #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp nil #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: I don't see why 'nil' is special than other values like

Re: [O] Problems with opening a link

Hi everyone, thank you for your input. Matt, thanks a lot for the detailed look into this. Indeed there are inconsistencies on how this works in Org, and there are things happening that are system dependent. I thibk what is biting me this time is the system dependence which is really weird.
