[O] agenda window shift

2014-05-20 Thread Fred Hansen
I recently rebuilt my computer, and after reinstalling emacs and orgmode the 
agenda window has a new, undesirable, behavior. After making any change, the 
window moves to place the previously edited location at the top of the window. 
For instance, if I complete a task on line 5, the window adjusts so that line 5 
is now the first line at the top of the window. I've tried to illustrate below:
__
L1: TODO task 1
L2: TODO task 2
L3: TODO task 3
L4: TODO task 4
L5: TODO task 5
L6: TODO task 6
__

after completing task 5 the window looks like this:

__
L5: DONE task 5

L6: TODO task 6
__


Any ideas? Thanks.

[O] identify notes within headlines

2012-03-29 Thread Fred Hansen
Most of my headlines contain only timestamps as content.  Some, however, have 
notes. These notes are usually contextual information that will help me to 
complete a task.  To remember to check the notes, I type 'see note' at the end 
of these headlines. I suppose I could also use a tag like ":NOTE:". The problem 
is that I have to remember to add a tag or type "see note".  I don't like the 
added step and I sometimes forget to do it.  Before I began tracking state 
changes I was able to use the elipsis as a visual indication that the note had 
contents, but now all my notes have elipsis.  Does anyone have a better 
(automated) way to identify notes?  Perhaps I a hook after org-add-note to add 
a tag to the headline?  Thanks for any suggestions.
