Storing ID-links before first heading uses title as description
Just committed to master (be2966abb5) Storing links to files using ~org-store-link~ (==) when ~org-id-link-to-org-use-id~ is not nil will now store the title as description of the link, if available. If no title exists it falls back to the filename as before. Best Gustav

Hello,
Thanks again for reporting this. With the attached patch I'll remove
nil replacement for NA.

I'm using Claws ATM because I'm still setting up Mu4e, with which I will capture this into a org file for later reference and notes. I would love to be able to help file a bug report, so I will *definitely* do this after I get my Emacs set-up fully on this new OS! Cheers, Bo Grimes

As I'm limited by the weakness of only understanding one alphabet, I don't have any experience of things once you move away from an 'english' based alphabet. However, I do find it surprising there isn't a simpler solution to switch between the different layouts in a consistent way which updates key bindings to something appropriate. I've not seen many editors with the same level of support for different alphabets and writing direction as Emacs and there are many keyborad layouts which don't include the '$' key. At the end of the day, it really just comes down to mapping of key codes - the 'image' on the key itself (and even the location) is largely irrelevant. I imagine 'live' switching between different input methods could be very complicated, but making the complicated easy is something Emacs tends to be good at. Were you able to get any assistance with this on the Emacs devel list? Like it or not, computers are very english centric (and US english at that). Maybe the issues you have encountered just need to be highlighted and for there to be someone able to assist to enable the situation to be improved? It may be a simple as improving the mapping of key codes and tweaking the key translation table to improve the situation? If you haven't done so, I would encourage you to start a new thread on emacs-devel where you outline your key binding issues. I have frequently found solutions on blogs and other forums only to find later there is a far easier solution. I would expect many Russian speaking users have encountered the same challenges. The Emacs devs have always seemed pretty open to improving support for different languages and character sets and once they understand the issue, will typically respond with improvements fairly quickly provided someone is will ing to help test etc. The hard part is defining the issue - once it is understood, a solution is often not too far away. -- Tim Cross

org-no-popups nilling display-buffer-alist
Hi, I wanted to control the positioning of the *Org Select* buffer, so I first went to add a rule to 'display-buffer-alist'. But I found it didn't work, as the function in question calls 'org-switch-to-buffer-other-window', which in turn calls an odd macro 'org-no-popups', which appears to let-nil the 'display-buffer-alist'. I was wondering what the reason is for this? To me I expected this variable to be reserved for me as a user to choose where windows can go, which I think is a good plan given that you cannot possible know all the configurations a user may want the window to appear. As it stands, I resorted to redefining this function and removing the 'org-no-popups' section, but I have a sinking feeling that it's going to end up with some odd window behaviour one day. (defun org-switch-to-buffer-other-window (args) ;; (org-no-popups ;; (apply 'switch-to-buffer-other-window args))) (switch-to-buffer-other-window args)) Thanks, Joshua
[PATCH] org-clock.el: clocktable ':formula %' now includes per-file time pct
* lisp/org-clock.el (org-clocktable-write-default): When ':formula %' is in-effect, show the per-file time percentage in the '%' column. This change only has an effect when multiple files are contributing to a given clocktable (such as when ':scope agenda' has been specified). The existing behavior is that such tables have an extra 'File' column, and each individual file that contributes has its own summary line with the headline value '*File time*'. Those summary rows also produce a rollup time value for the file in the 'Time' column. Prior to this change, the built-in '%' formula does not produce a calculation for those per-file times in the '%' column (the relevant cells in the '%' column were blank). With this change, the percentage contribution of each individual file time to the total time is shown. The more agenda files you have, the more useful this behavior becomes.

After adding =&optional= to the definition of =org-attach-follow=, and

After an =eval-defun= on =org-link-open-as-file=, I finally could
open my attachment.
I used =emacs -q=, installed org freshly and used a clean org-file with
only a single header entry and the attachment to reproduce my issue.

org-no-popups overriding display-buffer-alist
Hi, I was wondering what the reason is for Org to employ the tactic of overriding the variable 'display-buffer-alist' in a few places, using the 'org-no-popups' macro? It's my understanding that this variable is to be exclusively set by users, and acts as the "it's my program, I'll put windows where I want them" setting. The manual has this to say "display-buffer-alist and display-buffer-base-action are user options—Lisp programs must never set or rebind them. display-buffer-overriding-action, on the other hand, is reserved for applications—who seldom use that option and if they use it, then with utmost care." I've ended up with this rather inelegant cludge: (defun org-switch-to-buffer-other-window (args) "Switch to buffer in a second window on the current frame. In particular, do not allow pop-up frames. Returns the newly created buffer. Redefined to allow pop-up windows." ;; (org-no-popups ;; (apply 'switch-to-buffer-other-window args))) (switch-to-buffer-other-window args)) Does anyone know of a better way to reassert my window preferences? If concrete context will help: I'm specifically wanting to shift the "*Org Select*" buffers into a side window rather than them do whatever they want. Cheers, Joshua

Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V works for copy-paste even if Russian layout is currently chosen.) In Emacs, only Control + Latin C works, Control + Cyrillic S (the same physical key) is undefined. Location of punctuation symbols depends on active layout, "$" is absent in Russian layout at all. It is extremely inconvenient to switch to US layout before any shortcut. Emacs uses its own input methods, but it means that desktop environment should treat emacs in a special way in respect to keyboard layouts. I have a kind of solution, I found its variants in blog posts. It is quite tricky, so I do not consider it as reliable and suitable for any user.

Thanks! I resolve to work through the help files from time to time, but life and attenuation... C-h c looks very useful! I have a couple of simple capture templates that I copied into my init.el, but I didn't know one could create them like that! Right now I am slowly working my way through Harley Hahn's Emacs Field Guide, and I am determined to master Emacs and Org, which I have been using extensively for 10 years now, I'm embarrassed to say.

However, the challenge is that duties and obligations (willed and wanted) often keep me from working on notes, knowledge base, writing stuff for days and even weeks, so I am constantly relearning. > > > > This is good advice.

Yeah, I knew that had to be the case, but the Internet is now so awash, and *nixes so divergent, it's sometimes very difficult, no matter how good one's searchFu is, to find a solution. Once I saw that S-4 gave me a $ in a buffer and M-S-$ in a shell spellchecked the word, I knew it had to be outside Emacs. I even made sure it happened with Right M and Right S as well. I used Unix in grad school in the early 90s for email, gopher, usenet, etc so when I heard about Linux in '99 I switched. The Gnome/KDE wars, Unity, SystemD, Wayland and more...they all left me behind. It is INSANE that the problem could have been in Wayland, X, Gnome, PopShell, Mutter, and that it's all so hidden now. I still have no idea what was making the Num Lock prevent the $ from working when M was pressed but not when S was pressed alone. I am just not adept enough to switch to something like AwesomeWM or i3. I have to shepherd my time to focus on Emacs and Org. In desperation, I turned to a reliable, ancient (in Internet years) resource: the mailing list, and I am grateful for the patience, tolerance, and guidance I found. I have used this list, the only one I subscribe to, a few times for real org problems, and I learn a lot just reading any subject that interest me. > > > When I install a new system (regardless of platform, linux, mac, > windows), my first task is usually to remove or remap shortcuts.

I have a super on all my keyboards, so I could easily do this on both my laptop (this one) and my desktop. I usually only remap caps lock to control and try to learn the shortcuts as given, but since I really ever only use my two computers (my laptop and desktop), it makes no sense to worry about muscle memory if I use another, so I should just change them all to what fits me best. Thanks again, and for reading this discursive ramble if you got this far. This list is an example of what drew me to Linux/Emacs/Org to begin with! Gratefully, Bo Grimes

So I unticked it and ticked Number keypad always enters digits, which is, of course, why I use Num Lock to begin with. Definitely "xev" is your friend if your want to realize actual effect of such changes, along with "setxkbmap -query" (or "setxkbmap -print") and "xkbcomp -xkb :0 -". 3rd level is intended to type some characters absent in regular layout using a special modifier key. Personally I use 2 keyboard layouts and compose key for some symbols that are not directly available, so I do not need 3rd level as well. With that ticked Emacs behaves as expected. I have always used Num Lock and never had that problems You could have a look into /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/keypad /usr/share/X11/xkb/types/numpad files. If I do not mistake, $ is mapped for keypad with keypad:oss_wang option. Likely you could achieve what you want with custom Xkb configuration. I have not tried such tricks however. The most comprehensive guide on Xkb, I have seen, was in Russian. Its English variant is incomplete, the author's site is down. https://web.archive.org/web/20121108145326/http://pascal.tsu.ru/en/xkb/ X Keyboard Extension Protocol and library specifications could be hard to read, XKB Configuration Guide hosted on x.org is too brief. P.S. Have you checked that it is possible to swap Ctrl and Caps in wayland session? If not it is likely worth filing a bug. It seems wayland will be default soon. Some Xkb stuff is already broken in gnome (rather intentionally). My first experience with wayland was that it took enough time to realize why I could not authenticate. Gdm was using wayland by default and in password fields (hidden input!) shift does not allow several capital letters in a row.
Bug: org-attach-follow with wrong-number-of-arguments [ ( @ /home/sbrass/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.4.4/)]
Hi all,
I've tried to open an attached file (added with org-attach-attach), however,
when I try to open it with C-c C-o I got the following backtrace:
#+begin_example
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-number-of-arguments (2 . 2) 1)
org-attach-follow("1805.00020.pdf")

#+end_example
After adding =&optional= to the definition of =org-attach-follow=
and
reloading org-mode (uncompiled) I could get through org-attach-follow.
But, then I hit another issue:
#+begin_example
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function org-link-open-as-file)
(org-link-open-as-file (org-attach-expand file) arg)
org-attach-follow("0906.4487.pdf")
=E2=80=A6
#+end_example
After an =eval-defun= on =org-link-open-as-file=, I finally could
open my attachment.
I used =emacs -q=, installed org freshly and used a clean org-file with
only a single header entry and the attachment to reproduce my issue.
Cheers,
Simon Braß
