[O] Literate Programming site

[Charles Millar]

Hi,

I was investigating literate programming, etc. and found the following site

http://literateprogramming.com/

There is no mention of emacs, much less org mode, as a tools. The "evil 
one" is!


GNU and open office are included as projects. I am not sure if any of 
the articles posted in this list are mentioned.


I thought about posting a comment to the above site; however I decided 
to post here for those who know more about these things to decide if 
something should be forwarded.

Re: [O] org-agenda-write to .org exports headings in reversed order?!

Hi,

I'm still experimenting with agenda export and I found that I can write an
agenda to an org-mode file by C-x C-w (org-agenda-write).

However, if I do that and select  filename.org as target,
I get all headings in the agenda, but the last one first and the first one
last.

Is there an option which can reverse the order to leave it as it is in the
agenda itself?
I know very little of the wonders of emacs lisp, but I wonder if 
org-agenda.el line 3362 is the reason for this.

 (mapcar (lambda (s) (org-paste-subtree 1 s)) (reverse content))

I was using org-agenda-write several months ago; I exported to a text 
file  and the result just as you report.

Org manual section 12.3 at the end EXPORT_FILE_NAME  for subtrees; IUC 
this cannot be applied to a buffer -


footnote 133 There is no buffer-wide equivalent for this property. The

Pretty much what Eric and Achim have already siad.

I run make update2 each morning; the most recent org mode is in my

and my .emacs.d/init.el loads it via

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/directory/.elisp/org-mode/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/directory/.elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp/")

Essentially I copied it from section 1.2 of the manual.

Looks normal! Wild guess, had to try :)


I think you want to check

(mapcar 'org-export-backend-name org-export--registered-backends)

to see what backends are actually available to the export dispatcher.

and  (mapcar 'org-export-backend-menu org-export--registered-backends)

to see what menu options should be there.

HTH,

Chuck



I found (mapcar 'org-export-backend-menu 
org-export--registered-backends); however (mapcar 
'org-export-backend-name org-export--registered-backends) does not exist 
in my ox.el.
On my Linux learning machine (Jessie, same org version) the dispatcher 
is fine. However there appears to be no (mapcar 'org-export-backend-name 
org-export--registered-backends)


In the meantime, I did my regular org update and still have the same 
problem. The dispatcher (on my Vista machine) shows the toggled options 
at the top and bottom. In between the LaTeX and Publish backends with 
options are shown, but no others. (There has not been a problem with the 
toggled options)


So I did M-x org-export-to-[tab] which gave

Possible completions are:
org-ascii-export-to-ascii org-beamer-export-to-latex
org-beamer-export-to-pdf org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring

org-latex-export-to-latex org-latex-export-to-pdf
org-md-export-to-markdown org-odt-export-to-odt
org-org-export-to-org

I decided to choose ascii, which reported an export to a txt file (did 
not check it out). After that the ascii backend had been loaded into the 
dispatcher as well as the LaTeX and Publish.


I did a M-x org-export-to-html, which reported an export to html; the 
dispatcher now had ascii, html, LaTeX and Publish

Re: [O] Exporter dispatcher bug?

[Charles Millar]

What I meant was:

You should eval

(mapcar 'org-export-backend-name org-export--registered-backends)

to see what backends are available to the dispatcher.

If you copy that line into an emacs buffer (like *scratch*), put point 
after it and type C-x C-e, you will see the backend names listed in 
the minibuffer and the *Messages* buffer.



Same results as C-c C-e; only LaTeX and Publish are listed.
This list *ought to* correspond to `org-export-backends'. If it does 
not there is a hiccup or unusual customization in your setup - more 
digging might be needed.


I suspect my set up and perhaps  more specifically a Cygwin problem. I 
update org via Cygwin.


Just before receiving your most recent reply I commented out everything 
in my .emacs/init.el file, except for


(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/cygwin/home/Charlie01/.elisp/org-mode/lisp")

(add-to-list 'load-path 
"c:/cygwin/home/Charlie01/.elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp")


Instead of just eval-buffer, i restarted emacs. C-c C-e only listed 
Publisher, not even LaTeX
If it does correspond, then use the customize menu to reset 
`org-export-backends' to your desired value and save the change as you 
need it.



will give it a try.

HTH,

Chuck

longer offers the [h] and [l] options ... until I invoke one of the

In summery, the file "test.org" has more than 5000 org-table tables, each table

that the speed is very fast which is great. However, if you move the point far
away enough from the beginning of the buffer (move to the end for example), you
will find that "C-c C-c" on the formula line becomes much slower.

Many other operations are also very slow. However, because I haven't been able

IIRC Carsten Dominik made the following observation: org tables are 
extremely slow if they are used as workbooks/spreadsheets and there are 
many entries (many is undefined). He recommended that a spreadsheet

I learned that the hard way when I had one table - four columns, three

I guess the "entries" here mean the table rows right? Please confirm.

You are correct; I should have said rows. In my file there were 1000 
(+/-) rows and each row had up to three "entries", not including the 
description in the first row.
For instance (without any formulas) in the following row I entered each

I call it from a temporary buffer *perls* and always want to export to

Hi everyone,

today I looked at our tutorial page at

exposure to Org Mode.


Can we have a discussion here on how this path should look like?
When you came to Org-mode as a newby, what were the three resources
that really made an impression on by being accessible and
providing feel and promise for digging deeper?
About three years ago I stumbled across Org Mode when I was searching 
Emacs in general. (I already was familiar with Emacs, but only to "fool 
around".)
After viewing the Google talk, I specifically searched Org Mode. The 
three resources that made an impression:

- the general tutorials, starting with David O'Toole's,
- the Compact Guide with the Further Readings, (I did not look at the 
ones in the Org Manual) since this gave me a sense of how Org is and can 
be used, and
- *the mailing list*, which was the one resource that has made the 
greatest impression on me from the beginning. It has been and is my best 
resource; it provides the greatest exposure to Org Mode both as to its 
uses and sense of the Org community.

- Thank you Carsten, Bastien and all the rest if you for Org Mode.

First, I think that most statements about "what Org-mode is" are
outdated. Many of them are quite good, but they represent the previous
state of an evolving system and so fail to capture the full scope. To my
mind, Org-mode is a "research programming interface" written by and for
scientists who take very seriously certain core values of the scientific
enterprise--reproducibility, open access, and open source (a partial
list).
Strongly disagree with the sentiment. My undergraduate degree may gave 
been Physics, but I work as a freelance paralegal. I use Org Mode for 
project (file) planning, scheduling, drafting documents, etc. Also, I 
believe that there are some very active participants on this list who 
are not scientists and have made great contributions.

Its original focus on project planning has expanded with two
amazing and fundamental contributions, Eric and Dan's mature Babel
implementation and Nicolas' new export framework.
I use the LaTeX export to create pdf documents, such as contracts and 
pleadings, nothing "scientific" there. Sometimes I will export to utf-8 
text file, so I can copy and paste into "those other" document formats. 
(Sorry to say, but most of the US legal community is still MS Word and 
WordPerfect oriented.) I believe that I can eventually use Org-Babel for 
reproducible "research", research being more other than scientific.


These core values are manifest most clearly in the Org-mode community
and its organ, the mailing list. There isn't a tutorial on how to use
the mailing list! I'm confident that others in the Org-mode community
admire Nick Dokos' contributions to the list as much as I do. It would
be great to have his perspective and approach in a short, welcoming
tutorial.
No argument about the mailing list - see my earlier post. Also, Nick has 
helped me a few times; and I might add, I make sure that I read your 
posts - this is not to curry favor!

This is starting to remind me of bike-shedding. Org-mode is a toolbox
providing various things that can work toward whatever end one wants.
It's agnostic to field. It doesn't really matter what the end uses are
-- Org-mode "is" what functions it provides. How those are combined by
others in various fields, lines of work, or so on are simply
illustrations of it's capabilities with respect to neat ways of
combining various aspects of what Org "is."

Thus, I wouldn't try to pitch these things one way or another ("Org is
great for paralegals" or "Org is the answer for those doing
re-producible research"); I'd simply list what it does as what is "is"
and what it can be used "for" as a way to entice new users and help
get into the top results of some google searches for
tools/solutions/etc..

It seems we all get what it really "is," (TODOs/agenda, universal
markdown -> export to tons of formats, allowing mixing of
prose/code/results, and so on), but are sort of trying to lay claim to
why these tools make it best suited toward some particular field.

Whether you use one of Org's features or all of them, it is what it is
and this can be highlighted in a neat manner and made appealing to
those looking for help in these relevant areas of life.

You need to turn on orgtbl-mode as a minor mode:

M-x orgtbl-mode

But putting the example in an org document misses the point I think: the
idea is that you have a *LaTeX document* (not an org one), but you want
to be able to create a table using org syntax and to then automatically
create the LaTeX table from the org table. So you add the code into your
LaTeX document, turn on orgtbl-mode as a minor mode and then press C-c
C-c on the ORGTBL: SEND line which turns the org table into a LaTeX
table and inserts it at the spot specified with the BEGIN/END RECEIVE
ORGTBL stufff.

Nick

 Thanks. I obviously forgot the procedure. I used org mode for the 
entire file.  When it came time to use the radio tables I would M-x 
tex-mode and then M-x orgtbl-mode and proceeded from there.

Kushai apparently sent his report a few hours later. AFIK none of these

I checked gmane and the org list as well as my email for any replies. I 
discovered that the exporter bug had been fixed when I looked at the

Re: [O] Featur request org-table-iterate-table-subtree

[Charles Millar]

Any thoughts? Any body?

If there are two headlines each with the same set of table templates but 
different data in each,  org-table-iterate-buffer-tables will converge; 
however the convergence may yield incorrect results.


I suppose there are two options at the moment,

rename all tables in heading 1 to heading1summary, heading1A, 
heading1B, etc. and heading2summary, heading2A, heading2B, etc. and 
change all remote references to reflect this, or


set up separate org files for each set of tables although the 
tables pertain to the same over all subject.


Neither is really acceptable, but the second is the least trouble.

A third choice is worse, narrow to the heading and use org-table-iterate 
on each table. At least the buffer should not be widened in that case.


I have missed some documentation? I thought this would be a useful 
feature much the same way that export-subtree.

  "\| %(org-read-date)\| %^{FileName} %i\| %^{Narrative}
%i\| %^{Time} %i\| %^{Expense} %i"

Last week the prompt org-read-date would pull up the calendar first;
now the template jumps first to FileName, then Narrative,then Time,
then Expense, then back to org-read-date.

Well, this one is to be expected. S-exp placeholders are evaluated only
once. This currently happens at the end of the process because some
users do

   %(do-stuff "%i")

Here you want it to happen at the beginning of the process, which is not
quite compatible with the behaviour above.

I guess we could check if the S-exp contains any placeholder to decide
if it should be evaluated at the beginning or the end of the process,
but that somehow sounds cheesy.
OK; however, why should this change within the past few days (at least 
in my case)? I have been using this template for over three and I 
believe four years and the calendar prompt always started first, not last.

After C-c C-c there is anywhere 5 to 20 second delay.

I'm not sure this is related to the change. Could you use
elp-intrument-package and post the details?



You are right, it's not.

At the risk of piling on, I too am having problems with Org Capture
templates that haven't changed in a long time. The sample below used to
function like:

1. I would call it from org-capture, select the “af” template
2. I would get prompted for a date from file+datetree+prompt and I would
select the date
3. I would get prompted for the week number from the
~%^{prompt|%<%Y-W%V>}~ clause. This would default to the current week in
ISO format (2015-W49). I would change it or not (usually not)
4. The ISO week entered from that prompt would get substituted into the
AR_DATE property in multiple places.

The two big differences with release_8.3.2-381-gb7ee96 are

1. The substitution for %Y and %V does not happen before the prompt in
step 3; I get a default value of [%<%Y-W%V>]
2. Even if I manually type the ISO week string (2015-W09) it no longer
gets substituted into the AR_DATE properties via %\1

I pushed a commit which should fix these issues and the others mentioned
in the thread. Thank you.

Let me know if something is still wrong.

[O] Bug: time duration in capture template broken

[Charles Millar]

Until recently given the following capture template

"* APPOINTMENT %?%^{BeginTimeDuration}T %^{Location} %^{Reason}"

When prompted for the BeginTimeDuration and entered 2/29 09:00+1:00,  etc

would result in

* APPOINTMENT <2016-02-29 Mon 09:00-10:00> Location Reason

it now results in

** APPOINTMENT <2016-02-29 Mon (system time when capture made)> Location 
Reason


If no duration is given, the date and time as entered into the template 
are correctly captured


* APPOINTMENT <2016-02-29 Mon 09:00> Location Reason

Same error if I use 13:00-14:00 or 13:00--14:00 for duration, the start 
and end time still results in the system time when I C-c C-c the capture.

as 2016-01-19:

** TODO Prepare Goals of Internship talk

If I do a month display, a properly formatted 'deadline' entry is also
shown for the 19th:

but the spurious entry remains at today's date. This is happening for

Re: [O] org-capture -- optionally add time-of-day as with C-c . ?

[Charles Millar]

Hi John,

On 02/10/2016 04:22 AM, John Magolske wrote:

In setting up org-capture, I'd like to have behaviour similar to what
`org-time-stamp` provides, which by default is bound to:

 C-c .

That command in org-mode brings up a 3-month calendar and a minibuffer
prompt for entering a date. With nothing entered at the prompt, just a
RET, a timestamp with the current date is inserted like so:

 <2016-02-09 Tue>

If a date is picked from the calender, say March 26, then that date
is inserted:

 <2016-03-26 Sat>

If, for example, 2pm is entered at the minibuffer prompt and March 8
is picked from the calender, then a timestamp like so gets inserted:

 <2016-03-08 Tue 14:00>

I find this to be a very nice, intuitive interface. Time-of-day is
easily added, but only if explicitly input. Otherwise just the date
shows up. I'm having a hard time setting this up for org-capture...
I can get close with something like:

   (setq org-capture-templates
   '(("t" "todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/todo.org" "Tasks")
   "* TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil t) 
t)\n")))

But that always inserts a time-of-day into the timestamp, using the
current time if nothing is input at the minibuffer prompt. So if I
just pick March 8 from the calender, that date will be inserted along
with the current time-of-day like so:

 ** TODO
 SCHEDULED: <2016-03-08 Mon 00:53>

Which pretty much always necessitates a manual edit of the time to
either remove it or adjust it to something relevant.

When explicitly adding a time value at the prompt in the minibuffer,
2pm for example, then picking March 8, this would show up:

 ** TODO
 SCHEDULED: <2016-03-08 Tue 14:00>

And that works great. It's just the aforementioned situation where no
time-of-day is entered and the current time-of-day gets associated
with some future-date timestamp rather than just having that date show
up by itself with no time-of-day.

Is there some way to have the `C-c .` behaviour outlined above happen
in org-capture?


Have you tried the template expansion %^T (active time stamp prompt with 
date and time); Also %^U is the inactive equivalent, etc.

The problem is that TBLNAME is deprecated and very confusing.

Actually, here, you seem to be using it as #+RESULTS: (which is
different from #+NAME). You should replace it with #+RESULTS, since you
want to insert the /results/ of "SCHEDA" code evaluation below.



Thanks, Nicolas.

I'll change all TBLNAME's to RESULTS; it seems to work. (There are files 
that go back to 2010 or so.)


I was aware of the deprecation; it just that I was getting away with 
using TBLNAME and hoped that I could continue to do so. Well, it caught 
up with me in the past four or five days.

I believe this is the same problem or bug I reported in April 2015! 
Others have also brought attention it to this, but nothing has been done 
to fix it.

Thank you for clarifying this. I just tried the example file again 
(after changing all properties to upper-case) and it now works as 
expected. (BTW I am using Org-mode version 8.3.4

Regards,


Please let me know what I am missing or if I am just plain nuts.

I copied the org-collector example into my scratchorg file. Before 
executing he first propview block, I killed the following entry


 Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]
 :PROPERTIES:
 :amount: 56.77
 :spendtype: food
 :END:

I made sure that spendtype and amount in all other entries and in the 
propview blocks were upper cased.

I made sure that the first propview block had no results so it was just

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= SPENDTYPE "food")) 
:cols (ITEM AMOUNT)

#+END:

When executed (C-c C-c) the result still was

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols 
(ITEM amount)
| "ITEM"   | "amount" |
|--+--|
| "Grocery Store [2008-12-01 Mon]" |56.77 | - how possible if there is no 
entry??
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]"|30.67 |
|--+--|
|  |  |
#+END:

In the example is :id somehow "hardwired" into the expected results. 
Please note that I also entered, not copied,  the first propview block 
(without the results) character by character into the buffer, executed 
and the Grocery Store still showed up!


If I upper case ID, I get the expected results

#+BEGIN: propview :id "december" :conds ((string= spendtype "food")) :cols 
(ITEM amount)
| "ITEM"   | "amount" |
|--+--|
| "Restaurant [2008-12-08 Mon]"|30.67 |
|--+--|
|  |  |
#+END:

Should all options be upper cased as well? Or what should I read as to 
:id properties?

It may have "worked" but the odds are that you were simply
lucky.  \newcommand expects two {} arguments, the first being the name
of the command and the second the actual sequence to execute.
I was not clear - I ran the exports after I made the correction to 
"mysetup", i.e. \newcommand{\\foo}{bar}


One file or document exported as I expected; the other file or document 
did not, i.e. still had the extra first page and Missing 
\begin{document} error.

Both documents use a SETUPFILE with identical series of #+LATEX_HEADER:

I do agree that the one file that exports as desired must be a result of 
luck. I compared the output.tex file for each document. In each the 
first \usepackage{foo} which is inserted from the SETUPFILE is indented 
several tabs or spaces to the right and not aligned to the left margin.


Moving that one line to the left margin using e.g. TeXstudo fixes the 
problem.


BTW, I also changed the first #+LATEX_HEADER:  \usepackage{foo} line is 
SETUPFILE to other entries and the same problem, so I don't believe that 
the problem is LaTeX specific. (I also used #+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA)


What is causing the first LATEX_HEADER:  to indent and therefore causing 
a blank page and missing \begin{document} error?

My typo. Just in case I attach a copy of the "mysetup class" which I 
believe is now correct and which i have been using since your original 
response where you pointed out that \\newcommand, etc. was incorrect . I 
have used this as the latex class for all subsequent messages in this 
thread.



What is the
actual result in the output.tex file?

See attached TestLatexformessage.tex

The indentation or not itself is not the issue but only a symptom of an
error before that line, in my opinion.
I place the cursor just before \usepackage{lastpage} and backspace once, 
the file builds without the extra page, etc.


Is there a proper location for the #+SETUPFILE: line in the main org file?

As we agreed my first successful export was lucky, so I revised that

However, the LATEX_HEADER: still is placed several spaces to the left,

I have been using recutils with orgmode for more than year - still 
learning of course. So far, my experience has been fine. I am still 
developing some sort of standard databases, e.g. one for contacts, 
another for finance type of records, etc.


Have you checked out the two recutils mailing lists? Not very active at 
the moment. I mentioned in those lists that perhaps some sort of capture 
much like org-capture might be useful, but have made no further effort 
in that regards.


I picked up a excellent pointers as to using recutils to create org-mode 
tables from Jose Marchesi's and Eric Shulte's ob-rec.el discussion on 
this list back in 2011. I ultimately export the tables and related text 
to LaTeXpdf docs.


A few months ago I added recutils or "rec" to the Babel:languages, Emacs 
Package section - still haven't provided an example though. (It may have 
been Eric who encouraged me to post my entry to Worg, but at the moment 
I cannot recall for sure.)

I've just installed recutils from source. If you do the same then be
aware that as well as the usual linux packages, you will also need
"check", "uuid-dev" and "bash-builtins" for a successful build. Perhaps
its obvious that they would be required, but its certainly not
documented - at least as far as I could discover. Sorry that this was
perhaps off-topic, but it might be useful for others.

What flavor or OS are you using? I had a Debian Jessie desktop (recently

machine which originally came with WindowsXT) and a LMDE2 laptop (still 
in use and which I believe is based on Jessie) both of which came with 
recutils-1.6, so last year  installed 1.7 from source on both. As I 
recall I had no problems. Perhaps I loaded the packages you mentioned at 
earlier time.

Hi Charlie,

recutils-1.7 on Debian 3.2.78-1 i686 GNU/Linux. It installed ok, but
gave warnings on "make test". These disappeared on installing the
packages I mentioned.

Cheers, Colin.

I forgot!! Very conveniently, i might add. Last fall I discovered that 
although recutils-1.7 was apparently installed correctly, it was not. I 
could not use the readrec bash built-in. So I had to reinstall making 
sure that I downloaded all the other required packages that listed in 
the README-dev which Jose mentions in his recent message to this thread.

Do you have some example or a pointer or so. I don't know even how to
start.


A caveat - I am slowly learning lisp - of any kind - and I have not 
programmed in over 45 years (college).


See the attached files - one is a template for entering data into a 
recfile and the other is a sample of how I use some of the data in that 
recfile. I also have a couple of remote-descriptors so that I don't have 
reinvent the wheel for every recfile.


Originally I set up an org capture template and switched modes for 
entries into a refile, but this was not a "good" solution. In the 
recutils list I mentioned org capture and perhaps it could be modified 
to recutils, but I never sent Jose a use case.

Not sure if this will help, but here is a sample set up for one of my documents 
that usually have 15 - 20 tables which first are called from a recutils and 
then passed to a source block for the table. (Please note that I use the 
numprint package, which does not "like" any text in a number only column, so 
there is a separate line for the initial row. I am still playing wihtthis)

Yes and I think the key would be to ensure that every note etc. has a
heading.  This avoids all the problems you have with non-terminated
entries.  Avoid a flat structure and org works very well.

For instance, if you use a capture rule based on a date-tree, you can
easily add to the end of the file while still add notes later to any
previous entry.  Plus you have the advantage of knowing when notes were
added.  See screenshot where I have added three notes and then went and
added some text to the first note I took today.



The notes were added using my journal capture rule posted earlier.

A few years ago I found code for a journal entry at Metjack that is not 
org-capture (or org-remember as it was at that time)

*%.2f* is handy for those who are used to *printf()* syntax (in the C 
language).
But Calc unlimited precision numbers are converted to double floats 
before applying *%.2f*

Whereas *f2* operates on Calc numbers without conversion.

[O] vertically misplaced thousands separator

[Charles Millar]

I am not sure if this is a bug in orgmode latex exporter or whether it 
is specific to LaTeX and that there is some code that will take care of 
this.


First, attached is a copy of my LaTeX setup.

I recently added \\usepackage[npthousnadsep{,}]{numprint} to my setup.

When I export the following in line code

This is inline src_emacs-lisp[:var totalcommissions=TOTALCOM[-1,-1] 
fmt="%.2f"]{(format fmt totalcommissions)} {{{results(=9.99=)}}} for 
some reason


the thousands separator is place above the exported line, thus

,
This is inline 9.99 for some reason

Likewise, a source block, e.g.

** Block

This is a block

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var totalcommissions=TOTALCOM[-1,-1] fmt="%.2f" 
:exports results

(format fmt totalcommissions)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 9.99

for the same code

exports as

  ,
This is a block
9.99

|{group-separator ={,}|

for the same code

Of course I expected 99,999.99 in both cases.

I also tried this with \\usepackage{siunitx} and

Re: [O] vertically misplaced thousands separator

the same way, comma above the 9.99

[O] bug - active and inactive time stamps incorrect year for current date and rest of month

[Charles Millar]

When I call either active or inactive timestamps and enter the current 
date from the keyboard, i.e. 2/10, rather than simply pressing enter the 
result is <2016-02-10 Wed> or [2016-02-10 Wed], i.e. the year is already 
advanced. If I enter any date in the rest of the month in same manner 
such as 2/28 same result, <2016-02-28 Sun> or [2016-02-28 Sun] the year 
and day of the week are advanced. The behavior disappears when I go to 
the next month.

Cludgy is in the eye of the beholder. I am hugely bothered by various
inconsistencies in org-mode user interface (see my other posts to this
list) but this one is very far down on the list. This is why:

When I need to schedule a date, it is sufficiently close to today's
date that it is usually 2-3 S+ARROWS keystrokes away from today, so
the calendar with "today" selected as default is great.

So, let's see how a time selector would work:

When you bring up a time selector, it could by default show one of the
following three options:

1) The current time
2) The last time you selected when you used the time selector
3) Some default configurable time like "noon"

When I need to schedule a time for an event, the time that something
needs to happen is usually not related to any times on that list, so
using S+ARROWS would be less efficient than typing out the time, which
is at most four keystrokes if its on the hour. (E.g. "10pm" ). Of
course, this is only true if you are a touch-typist.



Why bother with the arrow keys at all? I have a capture template for 
appointments and deadlines which requests date and time. Calendar is 
called. Rather than arrow keys I type the datetime (optional 
duration) and then enter - e.g. call the template, then "2/28 13:30 (and 
then enter the rest of template requests such as 'What has to be done""

[O] Emacs-Orgmode Archive search fails

It has been a while since I searched the mailing list archives. Did I

For the past few days, any search request in the mailing list archives 
either yields no result or just one and the same result - "Citations, 
continued, etc." /archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-02/msg00028.html

I tried a simple search through Gnus search on the newsgroup ("G G")
and on the web page http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode. Both
succeeded, so whatever it was seems to have been fixed.


My searches on gmane.emacs.emacs succeeded,

In the past, when the search engine failed (and it has failed a couple
of times), a message to LarsI with the details of the failure has been
enough to get things going again (sometimes with a couple of days
delay).
Unfortunately searches on the orgmode list still fail. I will do as you 
suggest.
