For example, I'd like to see entries which contains the words 'cat' and 'dog' in any order. Or 'apple', 'orange', 'melon', 'plum' and 'pear' in any order. Searching for multiple keywords in a single operation is a pretty basic feature. I recommend adding it if currently there is no way to do it in org. For such searches, I use org-search-view: C-c a s +cat +dog [RET] This will pull up the headlines for all entries that contain the substrings cat and dog in any order. By default, org-search-view treats the entry as a single substring if there are no plus or minus signs. E.g., C-c a s cat dog [RET] ...will find only those entries that have the precise string cat dog. For searches more like Google's (i.e., lazy booleans), you can set the variable org-agenda-search-view-always-boolean to t.

In other words, I always want to see tasks I can do now in my todo lists, whereas I only want to see tasks that are due soon in the agenda. Lengthening the lead time won't help because it unnecessarily shows tasks in the agenda that aren't due soon. But maybe my usage is not an intended one. Oops. I misunderstood your request. What you are describing is org-mode's default behavior---i.e., to show all todos with deadlines in the todo list, but only to show deadlines in the agenda when they are within org-deadline-warning days. To ensure this behavior, you'll want to make sure that org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines is set to nil (the default). All todos with deadlines will then appear in your todo list. True, but then we're back to the problem with the driver's license renewal. I knew there was a reason for example I provided above. :) If I understand you correctly, you'd like: 1) deadlines to show up on your todo list, 2) but not if they are too far away (let's say more than 1 year from now). I believe this scenario is essentially covered by the original example I provided; all that is required is some tweaking. Does this custom command accomplish what you're looking for? --8---cut here---start-8--- (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '((d Todos (incl. deadlines) todo ((org-deadline-warning-days 100) ;; change this as you wish (org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines 'far --8---cut here---end---8--- With this command, you'd see all todos with deadlines that fall a reasonable distance from the present (in this case, the next 100 days), but wouldn't see the drivers license renewal 4 years from now.

I changed it to SENT and everything worked fine. Dunno if that's worth considering a bug, but it's certainly surprising behavior. I'd agree. The tags-todo search does seem to search for all instances of the substring (CONTACT) rather than the word alone. This seems to be inconsistent with the behavior of the tags match. E.g., in the following sample: --8---cut here---start-8--- ** Testing *** CONTACT Call so and so *** CONTACTED Call Mr. Potato Head *** TODO The quick brown fox :comp: *** DONE jumped over the lazy dog :computer: --8---cut here---end---8--- C-c a M comp pulls up only The quick brown fox, whereas C-c a M TODO=CONTACT or C-c a M /CONTACT pull up both todos containing that substring.

Norbert Zeh n...@cs.dal.ca writes: Here's what I found out by tinkering around with settings a little. Setting org-agenda-prefix-format to (as I already did before) correctly removes the prefix *before* the TODO keyword. The formatting function for everything starting with the TODO keyword, however, seems to unconditionally insert a space between the TODO keyword and the rest of the line. Thus, even if the TODO keyword is empty (by setting org-agenda-todo-keyword-format to ), there is still a space after the now empty TODO keyword. Hence, the extra space at the beginning of the line. To me it seems like there's no way around this with the standard org mode settings. After experimenting a bit, I've also come to conclusion that the initial space is hard-coded.

Eric Schulte schulte.e...@gmail.com writes: 2) Babel will now be loaded by default along with the rest of Org-mode. This means that *everyone* currently using babel will need to change their Emacs config and remove the (require 'org-babel-int) and/or (require 'org-babel) lines. I would like to request that org-babel be made an optional module. I ask this as someone who uses org-babel regularly. Here are my reasons: - Org-babel adds rather specific and complex functionality to org-mode that those who use it as a simple outliner and todo manager do not require. (In other words, an option to turn it off might be nice for those who are worried about feature creep.) - Org-babel increases the risk of accidentally executing malicious or dangerous code when typing C-c C-c on a src block or exporting a file. Perhaps users should activate it only after they understand the risks. + For instance, I might write a blog post warning about the dangers of typing rm -rf ~/. If I put this between #+begin_src sh and #+end_src and unthinkingly hit C-c C-c, I would be in trouble. I believe this is the reason for the variables org-confirm-shell-link-function and org-confirm-elisp-link-function. + This is admitted a bit far-fetched as an example, as it would require one to have loaded ob-sh.el. But since elisp execution is activated by default, there remain opportunities for unwittingly executing code that is meant for other purposes (e.g., warnings, examples, etc.). Support for evaluating emacs-lisp code blocks is loaded by default. All other languages will need to be required explicitly. To conform to Emacs filename specifications all language require lines have been shortened from e.g. (require 'org-babel-sh) to (require 'ob-sh) When I run make clean make make install I find that the language directory is not installed. Does the langs directory require a manual installation?

Typing C-c ^ r will prompt you for a property. If you are above the

Sorry for the shorthand. Dynamic blocks can be used to refresh dynamic

[Orgmode] Re: preventing automatic rebuild of agenda on refiling?
Michael Gilbert m...@gilbert.org writes: I may have missed when this happened or if it's been discussed already, but I'm noticing that recent Org-mode automatically rebuilds the agenda each time I refile a task. This can dramatically slow down the process of refiling a lot of items. Is there a setting to change this? As far as I am aware of: No, you currently cannot disable it for a single refile operation. But, if you refile a lot of items you might try Agenda's bulk action: http://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-commands.html Bulk actions actually do not rebuld the agenda. But if I'm not mistaken, they involve refiling all the marked items to the same destination. That hasn't been my workflow at all. This is a frustrating change. I guess my option now is to jump to the item in question, refile it, then jump back. But given that in my current workflow I refile scores of items during my daily prep... Ugh. I'm sure there was a good reason for the change, but it just doesn't suit how I've come to use Org-mode. Anyway, if there are any other ideas out there other than waiting for the roundtrip of the rebuild or jumping back and forth to the source files, I would be interested in hearing them! If you give a triple prefix argument to org-agenda-refile, the agenda will not be rebuilt. If you'd like this as the default behavior, you can bind it to a key (or change the original binding): (define-key org-agenda-mode-map \C-c\C-w (lambda () (interactive) (org-agenda-refile nil nil t))) Best, Matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I ended up implementing this(the patch is attached), and thought I'd contribute it to org-mode. If you have any comments, please let me know. The primary use I have for it is essentially what Nathan said - it controls display or recurring items to be the same as habits, with the exception of not displaying the habit graph. To avoid seeing future instances of recurring tasks, you can set the variable org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all to nil. I also use it when scheduling items that can't be started before a certain date. For example, I recently got a note that my tax return was being inverstigated and that I should contact the IRS in 30 days. Now, I schedule this item for 30 days from now, but in 23 days it starts showing up in my weekly agenda, even though there's nothing that can be done about it at that point. I'd much rather have it only display when it can actually be worked on. I'm still a bit confused about this patch. By definition, scheduled items do not appear on the agenda until the day on which they are scheduled. As I understand it, this patch is primarily for weekly agendas---i.e., to prevent items scheduled on Friday from appearing under the Friday slot until it is indeed Friday. In that case, why not use the daily agenda instead of the weekly agenda? Would it perhaps be better to write a personal skip function that handles this instead of hard-coding another test in org-agenda.el?

[Orgmode] org-check-for-hidden breaks promote/demote in region
Hi Carsten, I find that commit 11baa7cf77245cc2a5f44dd55e034157896ad08d (which changes the behavior of M-left and M-right) makes it impossible to promote and demote headlines in a region.[1] In the past, if I marked a region of folded headlines and used M-left or M-right, org-mode would promote/demote all the headlines in the region. Now, it simply throws the following error: Hidden subtree, open with TAB or use subtree command M-S-left/right The problem: When the region is active, M-S-left/right (as in the past) only moves a single subtree, so AFAICT there is currently no way to promote/demote all headings in a region. While I appreciate the new safeguard for single outline headings, IMO the check is irrelevant when attempting to act on headlines in a region, since (1) the user chooses to move an entire region and (2) the hidden headlines are normally included in the region. Here's a patch that skips the check if the region is active: --8---cut here---start-8--- diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el index 0385383..463a0eb 100644 --- a/lisp/org.el +++ b/lisp/org.el @@ -16146,20 +16146,19 @@ this fucntion returns t, nil otherwise. beg end) (save-excursion (catch 'exit - (if (org-region-active-p) - (setq beg (region-beginning) end (region-end)) + (unless (org-region-active-p) (setq beg (point-at-bol)) (beginning-of-line 2) (while (and (not (eobp)) ;; this is like `next-line' (get-char-property (1- (point)) 'invisible)) (beginning-of-line 2)) - (setq end (point))) - (goto-char beg) - (goto-char (point-at-eol)) - (setq end (max end (point))) - (while (re-search-forward re end t) - (if (get-char-property (match-beginning 0) 'invisible) - (throw 'exit t))) + (setq end (point)) + (goto-char beg) + (goto-char (point-at-eol)) + (setq end (max end (point))) + (while (re-search-forward re end t) + (if (get-char-property (match-beginning 0) 'invisible) + (throw 'exit t nil (defun org-metaup (optional arg) --8---cut here---end---8--- Thanks, Matt Footnotes: [1] The change was discussed in this thread: http://mid.gmane.org/l2me4f0b2511004191529s16b84452kb4feea51f0635...@mail.gmail.com ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Hi Marcelo, Marcelo de Moraes Serpa celose...@gmail.com writes: This is a thread to share your org dir (you have one right) file structure. The title is because I see many of org users prefer having big monolithic files, and I have a slightly different line of thought. I have a handful of central files: e.g, inbox.org, reading.org, computer.org, writing.org, and so on. I've found, however, that on my relatively modest machines org/outline buffers slow down at appr. 12,000+ lines and become more or less unnavigable at appr. 30,000+ lines (especially if they have a deeply nested structure). Whenever a file gets too large, I simply create new files for sub-projects and sub-topics (e.g., perl.org, emacs.org, etc.) and link to them from the main file (e.g., computer.org). I also do a lot of archiving. FWIW, I've found it quite convenient to rely on filetags to organize my notes. I've written a few functions that allow me to limit my agenda to a subset of agenda files that share a filetag (e.g., emacs or writing). This is a bit quicker than calling agenda commands on all agenda files and then filtering afterward. It also allows for greater focus on a particular area of work.

Nope, yasnippet is the way to go I think! There are quite a few other options. IMO, installing yasnippet is overkill if you are only using it for comment blocks in org-mode. 1. The first and simplest option is built into org-mode. Simply type: s [TAB] or [M-TAB] This will automatically expand to: --8---cut here---start-8--- #+begin_src #+end_src --8---cut here---end---8--- For a full list of completions, type C-h v org-structure-template-alist. 2. The second option is to save the text to a register: (set-register ?b #+begin_src\n\n#+end_src) Then type C-x r i b to insert the source block. (info (emacs) Registers) 3. You can use abbrev mode for dynamic expansion: - Activate the abbrev minor-mode in org-mode: + M-x abbrev-mode + permanently: (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (abbrev-mode 1))) - In org-mode, type something like sbp for a perl source block. - Immediately after sbp type C-x a i l. - Enter the expansion: #+begin_src perl[C-q C-j][C-q C-j]#+end_src + Note: the C-q C-j creates a new line in the minibuffer - Now, whenever, you type sbp[Space, RET, TAB, etc.] in an org-mode buffer, the src block will magically appear. - If you want more complex completion (like yasnippet) you can combine abbrev mode with skeletons.

So, I can find some info about Bibtex and Reftex but in my opinion it's
just not very helpful. Even the bibtex.org website seems difficult to
me.
I'm not sure I understand your questions about BibTeX or how they relate
to the example above.
There is ample material on-line for learning BibTeX, but mastering it
requires some patient reading and practice. The short answer: BibTeX is
a file format for storing bibliographical data as well as a program for
formatting BibTeX data for LaTeX processing. Reftex is an emacs mode
(written by Carsten) that, among other things, makes it easy to enter
cite macros and reference keys in a LaTeX file (or, if you'd like, an
org file). Most instructions you'll find on integrating BibTeX with
org-mode presuppose a working familiarity with BibTeX and reftex. For a
quick overview, the Wikipedia article on BibTeX is a good place to
start.[fn:1]

E.g., given the following subtree... --8---cut here---start-8--- * My shopping list :PROPERTIES: :COLUMNS: %40ITEM %10AMOUNT %10TYPE :ID: 41101c80-85b9-4af6-8138-8ad460a2949e :END: ** Bananas :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 2.65 :TYPE: fruit :END: ** Cheese :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 4.54 :TYPE: dairy :END: ** Flour :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 3.00 :TYPE: grain :END: ** Dish soap :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 1.29 :TYPE: kitchen :END: ** Lettuce :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 1.80 :TYPE: vegetable :END: ** Carrots :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 2.56 :TYPE: vegetable :END: ** Milk :PROPERTIES: :AMOUNT: 3.25 :TYPE: dairy :END: --8---cut here---end---8--- ...you can use org-collector to capture a subset of data as follows... --8---cut here---start-8--- * Data #+begin: propview :id 41101c80-85b9-4af6-8138-8ad460a2949e :conds ((string= TYPE vegetable)) :cols (ITEM AMOUNT TYPE) | ITEM| AMOUNT | TYPE | |---+--+-| | Lettuce | 1.8 | vegetable | | Carrots | 2.56 | vegetable | |---+--+-| | | 4.36 | | #+TBLFM: $LR2=vsum(@i+...@ii-1) #+end --8---cut here---end---8--- Change the conditions to match dairy items greater than 4 and you get the following: --8---cut here---start-8--- * Data #+begin: propview :id 41101c80-85b9-4af6-8138-8ad460a2949e :conds ((and (string= TYPE dairy) ( AMOUNT 4))) :cols (ITEM AMOUNT TYPE) | ITEM | AMOUNT | TYPE | |--+--+-| | Cheese | 4.54 | dairy | |--+--+-| | | 4.54 | | #+TBLFM: $LR2=vsum(@i+...@ii-1) #+end --8---cut here---end---8--- Best, Matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

How about keeping a master table containing all the information, and then generating narrowed views as separate tables? The babel way to do this would be to have a block function filter-table (provided below) and then call it where needed: This is fantastic.

Julien Barnier jul...@no-log.org writes: That's why I'm going to rewrite it in C#/Mono : this will assure that the new project can run on every machine you can think about, and it would be much lighter on resources (especially memory) than Emacs. :) Because Emacs keys are really to complicated and quite outdated, I'm going to reimplement org-mode with a modern graphical interface, which would be almost exclusively mouse driven. I think it would be quite innovative if the user could move headlines/entries by 1) selecting text with the mouse, 2) using a drop-down menu option to cut the selection, 3) selecting a destination with the mouse, and 4) using a drop-down menu option to paste the text. Also, I would like to request WYSIWYG formatting. Have you considered a binary format for the files? Then we could use styles to demarcate separate sections of an org-file instead of all those asterisks!! I also plan to add some 3D compiz-like effects that would allow some text animation or blinking in order to make tags and keywords more visible. Might I request spinning text? ;) As you see, the project is already quite advanced and mature. The last thing I have to do is to find a name for it. I was thinking of smog-mode, or maybe frog-mode, but I'm open to any suggestion. How about edomgro? - Matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Leo Ferres lfer...@ccs.carleton.ca writes: Just trying to learn Org-Mode (which I find absolutely great so far). I was wondering if anyone could let me know how to change the automatic generation of table of contents in the export to html code, so I can go back and forth between Contenidos (in Spanish) and the usual Table of Contents in English. You can put a the following line in the header of your file: #+LANGUAGE: en ...and change it to... #+LANGUAGE: es for Spanish. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Export-options. I believe the default setting for Table of Contents is Índice. You can change this by customizing the variable org-export-language-setup.

[Orgmode] Re: How to open pdf file links with evince under linux?..
Hi Daniel, Daniel Martins daniel...@gmail.com writes: my values are org-file-apps is a variable defined in `org.el'. Its value is ((auto-mode . emacs) (\\.x?html?\\' . default)) It looks as if you have changed this variable somehow. The default value is: ((auto-mode . emacs) (\\.mm\\' . default) (\\.x?html?\\' . default) (\\.pdf\\' . default)) With the default settings you have two options: 1. Add the following line to ~/.mailcap (user only) or /etc/mailcap (typical location of system-wide settings on Linux). application/pdf; evince %s 2. Change the default settings per Jan's instructions: 2010/3/23 Jan Böcker jan.boec...@jboecker.de But we can tell Org directly what to do with PDF files: take a look at the variable org-file-apps (M-x customize-variable org-file-apps). Each entry in this list consists of (selector, action) pairs where the action tells Org how to open a file, and the selector (in most cases a regular expression matched against the file name) specifies what kind of files to open in this way. Add the following entry: Extension: \.pdf\' Command: evince %s Links to PDF files should now open in evince. which does not help very much since i think is scary to change the auto-mode in emacs Changing the pdf setting in this way does nothing to the auto-mode-alist. The auto-mode cons cell simply instructs org-mode to open any file matching a regexp in auto-mode-alist within emacs. I have the same annoying problem reported by Jan Could you explain what problem you mean here? I believe it was Leo who reported the problem, while Jan offered a solution.

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Speed up org-diary
Hi Carsten, Thanks to the new variable org-agenda-entry-types, I have moved all my appointments from emacs diary into org-mode. It is now quite fast to pull up weekly and monthly calendars with a custom agenda command. The missing piece of the puzzle is integration with diary and cal-tex functions via the org-diary sexp. I have found org-diary to be excruciatingly slow when called for anything more than a couple of days. I have the following line in my diary file: %%(org-diary :timestamp :sexp) If I try to view 20 or so upcoming days in the diary by typing C-u 20 d on a date in the calendar, it can take upwards of 30 seconds to generate the diary display. This is of little consequence, since I can, after all, simply use the custom agenda command. But I often want to print out a nice LaTeX calendar of my appointments with cal-tex-cursor-month. And that takes upwards of 50 seconds (see attached elp-results file). Judging from the elp-results, the culprit seems to be org-prepare-agenda-buffers (46 seconds), which is called 31 times (once for each day). It seems to me that since org-diary is being called 31 times in quick succession by the same function (diary-sexp-entry), one should only need to call org-prepare-agenda-buffers once. The only solution I could see to this problem was to add a test to see if org-diary had been called less than 1 second ago. Thus, I added the variable org-diary-last-run-time and a conditional in org-diary that only runs org-prepare-agenda-buffers if org-diary-last-run-time is less than 1 second in the past. With the patch, it now takes appr. 5 seconds to generate the LaTeX calendar with cal-tex and org-prepare-agenda-buffers is called only once. --8---cut here---start-8--- diff --git a/lisp/org-agenda.el b/lisp/org-agenda.el index 797728b..6179907 100644 --- a/lisp/org-agenda.el +++ b/lisp/org-agenda.el @@ -4086,6 +4086,8 @@ Needed to avoid empty dates which mess up holiday display.
