Re: customizing Org for legibility
Ok, I see what you're saying. You're proposing to have TODO states and other tags on the left of the heading title in fixed pitch, and the heading title in variable pitch. In my current setup the whole heading is fixed in Agenda and variable in normal buffers. I agree it would be good to have mixed-pitch headings.

Minor nitpick coming up.. May I suggest naming the mode org-table-sticky-header-mode instead? Somehow the "electric" in the name wasn't intuitive to me.. or maybe that's just me.
Re: customizing Org for legibility
hi texas, apologies for any attribution errors. headers in the agenda are on the right. so there is nothing to line up except tags, which are also not lined up in the outline. so they can be variable pitch ... ... unless you make headers line up with /one another/? * like this * and this [i am writing this in variable pitch gmail so i probably misaligned but you get the point.] ? in which case you need fixed pitch. didn't know anybody did that!
Re: customizing Org for legibility
> this is really impressive. does it have a fill column?
That seems to be a quote from Zamboni's page. AFAIK, visual line mode
is the opposite of using a fill column.
#+begin_quote
i would be over the moon if you could make headers in the agenda variable pitch.
not only would it look better and be consistent with the outline, but it would
conserve space.
#+end_quote
I think headers in the agenda should remain fixed pitch, so that its
table aspects align correctly. Headers should be kept concise for
agenda compatibility. That's why I use non-standard syntax for
headings. E.g., I'd title this email chain thus:
tech | org-mode@ mail list | prose legibility | 2020-01
I don't recognize the other questions you're asking and suspect
they're for Zamboni.
Also, in my last email I miswrote: it's mixed-pitch not mixed-mode.

a wide column problem
For a table with a wide column can org-mode use a width on the column as well as word wrap? The work column is too wide in stafflog.org: | arrived| staff | work | left | |+-+-+| | [2020-01-28 09:08] | Daedon and Doug | watch Doug laundry dishes trash removal containers recovery | [2020-01-28 13:08] | | [2020-01-29 20:30] | umuaru | brought food | [2020-01-29 20:45] | | [2020-01-30 13:00] | alex| fixed drains brought lunch and black bags and put light cover on over stove | [2020-01-30 14:00] | || | || --
Bug: org-mks case insensitive search breaks org-capture-templates groups [9.3.1 (release_9.3.1-108-gebf8b3 @ /home/n/.emacs.d/straight/build/org-plus-contrib/)]
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen
and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good
report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
Considering the following org-capture-templates:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let ((org-capture-templates '(("l" "Lower case")
("l1" "Lower case test" plain (file
"") nil)
("l2" "Lower case test" plain (file
"") nil)
("L" "Upper case")
("Lt" "Upper case test" plain (file
"") nil
(org-capture))
#+end_src
I would expect hitting "l" from the *Org Select* buffer would only
show the templates prefixed with "l".
However all templates are in the sub-menu.
I believe the cause is that case-fold-search is not temporarily
set to nil in the org-mks function.
This small patch results in the correct behavior for me:

Re: customizing Org for legibility
i get the sense spacemacs has brought a lot of new users to emacs. i
don't use it but i have comments on your interesting and welcome
beauty tips.
i wasn't clear on the difference between beautifying list markers and
using org bullets.
this is really impressive. does it have a fill column? "... wrap

instead of at a fixed character count...".
i would be over the moon if you could make headers in the agenda
variable pitch. not only would it look better and be consistent with
the outline, but it would conserve space.
also, i would remove the second column, which seems not to do anything.
also, i removed colons from some columns in the agenda and think it
looks better. also i aligned all items. also, i made bare active
tses use a leader. also i made everything more compact except
categories which i widened. also, i removed [xd.] in leaders.
curious what the brackets mean in
("PROPOSAL" . "orange")
("[PROPOSAL]" . "orange")
what does reformatting a buffer change?
could tags be fixed to stay at a column by counting pixels?
thank you for the tips.

Re: customizing Org for legibility
Thanks for the insight on why things are the way they are. Sounds like the Spacemacs layer is the correct place to address legibility. Knowing this will help me argue my case at Spacemacs. I planned to mine the Zamboni post already. mixed-mode must be obscure indeed if he didn't know about it until today either! One thing I don't understand: It seems that GUI and terminal modes are completely different. Rather than constrain GUI defaults to terminal limitations, it makes sense to gracefully degrade them when a terminal is detected. I assume that terminal users don't care about variable pitch. They're likely doing sysadmin, with little or no prose interaction.

Re: customizing Org for legibility
Hi, I think it's a noble effort to popularize org-mode and to make it easier to use. And I learned today about mixed-pitch :) However, a lot of visual configuration depends on fonts, colors, and other things which may vary a lot between users. While most of us by now probably use a graphical version of Emacs, any such default settings should be done with care for users who still use Emacs on a pure-text interface. Making some default prettification as part of Spacemacs's org-mode layer would be nice, since it includes a lot of customization and eye candy already. In case it's of use or for reference, I wrote a "Beautifying org-mode" blog post some time ago: https://zzamboni.org/post/beautifying-org-mode-in-emacs/ (the corresponding section of my config file is here: https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#beautifying-org-mode ) All the best, --Diego On Fri, Jan 31, 2020 at 10:35 AM Texas Cyberthal wrote: > I aim to popularize Spacemacs as a personal info manager.

This is very appealing and I'll be using it by default (despite issues; see below) as I often have long tables in my documents. Some issues which may or may not be easily fixable or may require more effort than is worth: 1. the header contents are placed at the leftmost column means the first row does not align with the table in two cases: 1. when display-line-number-mode is active and/or 2. when org-indent-mode is used. 2. the display of the first row does not have column widths adjusted and so the entries do not line up if the table itself has adjusted column widths (C-c TAB).

It doesn't work well with org-indent-mode, unfortunately, as the spacing used by org to align subsequent text with the heading assumes fixed pitch.

Dear all, I would like to highlight three changes from master that need to be carefully tested before Org 9.4 can be released: - M-x org-table-electric-header-mode RET will display the first row of the table at point in the header line when the first row is not visible anymore. - Numeric priorities: e.g. #+PRIORITIES: 1 10 3 in the buffer will let you use numeric priorities (from 1 to 10, default to 3). You cannot use higher values than 64 for priorities. I don't want to go too far in the flexibility of priorities, but I think this generalization is fine. - The new org-agenda-filter command has been adapted to use the current filters as the default value.

It does seem natural and generally support this idea. However, it could potentially cause me a minor annoyance: I often (in manuals and other forms of dissemination) use org src blocks (i.e. src blocks with org code) and I would expect C-c C-c to do whatever it would normally do in an org file (e.g. add tag) while editing that block. Would the normal C-c C-c behaviour take precedence? If not, this is a very minor issue so I'm sure I would adjust! -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.3.1-94-g0ac6a9

customizing Org for legibility
I aim to popularize Spacemacs as a personal info manager. Next task is the Org configuration layer. As preparation, I wrote a post critiquing Org's out-of-the-box legibility. I believe a default configuration should cater to beginners, since they're least likely to know how to customize. On the other hand, maybe a package should set defaults to the median user and leave beginner intake to distributions. Along the way, I discovered mixed-pitch, which fixed most of my complaint. It's quite obscure. I'd like to include it in Spacemacs' Org layer. I'm sharing my thoughts to see whether I'm missing anything else. https://cyberthal-ghost.nfshost.com/configuring-org-for-readable-prose-is-too-complicated/
