So in my understanding thiese reschedule the event for the previous/next day and I assume that the prefix argument can be used to reschedule by a different number of days. Best wishes, Shérab.

Thank you so much for also having taken the time to explain how you found it, that's very helpful! Best wishes, Shérab.

I indeed remember having seen these commands! The thing is that I am using emacs in the Linux console where these bindings do not work, so I couldn't try them. Is there a way to bind them to different key bindings? I am asking becuase I assume the bindings you mention are specific to the agenda view and the way to modify them is thus different from ordinary, global bindings. Am I correct? > C-c C-s (org-agenda-schedule) and C-c C-d (org-agenda-deadline) also > work without leaving the agenda view. I shall thy these! Thanks! Best wishes, Shérab.

Will do, but usually columns are not very handy for me -- I'm blind and using a braille terminal. In such a context linearity matters quite a lot. Best wishes, Shérab.

Yes, that worked, thanks! > When you're done > editing use `other-window' to get back to the agenda, then "o" to close > other windows. To go back to the other window (the agenda view) I used C-x o and that worked but the agenda view had not been updated and it didn't get updated when I then pressed 'o' to close other windows. IS that the expected behaviour? Somehow I'd like that the agenda view gets refreshed automatically at some point, if that's possible? Thanks again Eric, it does help! Shérab.

Hi Diego, many thanks for your prompt response! Diego Zamboni (2019/11/22 16:55 +0100): > Hi Shérab, > > I usually press Enter on the entry, which takes you to the file from where > it came, and you can edit it there. I tried and it worked, thanks! Does this leave the agenda view and you then return to it as you enter it the fiirst time, e.g. C-c a a ? Is there a way to return to the agenda view exactly where one was when pressing enter? Thanks to all, Shérab.
Editting from the agenda view
Dear all, Apologies for what's probably a totally dumb question but I am unable to find the answer although I did read the doc. When I am in an agenda view, say the weekly view, how can I edit one of the listed entries? I may want to do that either because I notice I have made a typo that I would like to fix, or because I would like to re-schedule the entry for another date. Which workflow should I use to achieve this? Many thanks in advance for your help for this feature I am very much interested in, Shérab.
Re: [O] Exporting in html with numeric references to headlines
Dear Bruno and Nick, Many thanks to both of you for having taken the time to respond to my question. Actually, my initial problem was in a larger document. There the links didn't work but I now think it was because I did something wrong. When writing to the list I wrote the toy example I sent and there, things seemingly didn't work but for the reason you both pointed out, namely that the document was too short. I did look at the generated HTML but not properly enough, I am really sorry about the trouble. Everything works fine now. Thanks again for your kind assistance, Shérab.
[O] Exporting in html with numeric references to headlines
Dear all, Assume the following document: === #+title: test1 * Introduction Monads will be explained in chapter [[#monads]] * Monads :PROPERTIES: :CUSTOM_ID: monads :END: Welcome to the monads chapter. === When I export this to html, the paragraph in the introduction says: Monads will be explained in chapter 2 with "2" being a link, which is what I am expecting. However the link does not work and it seems the "#monads" anchor is actually not created. I can also observe that the links in the table of contents do not seem to work either. Am I doing something wrong? I also tried different variations with <> but was not able to make anything work. Many thanks in advance for any hint! Shérab.
Re: [O] Problem while spell-checking an Org document
Hello! Many thanks for your prompt response! Bingo (2019/07/04 22:31 +0530): > I don't think there is any provision for expanding subtrees with errors. But > you could : > 1. Go to next/previous error using flyspell's functions. > 2. Org-reveal to see what is there. Typical key binding is C-c C-r. I will experiment with these solutions, thanks! I have to say I am kind of surprised that people do not seem to encounter this issue and I am thus wondering what their workflow is. One possibility would be that org-mode sets up a hook to expand all the subtrees prior to running the spellcheck and then restores the previous state once spell checking is done. Would this seem reasonable? And if so, would it seeem a doable thing? Thanks, Shérab.
[O] Problem while spell-checking an Org document
Dear friends, I have started to write a reference manual for a tool using Org. When I run ispell on it, I would expect that the subtree containing an error gets expanded but that does not seem to be the case. As far as I can tell, point remains on the root title of the subtree containing the error and that subtree remains folded. I did lookup the documentation for both org-mode and ispell in emacs but couldn't find the response, neither could I solve the problems by looking up the Internet. Any help would thus be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Shérab.
Re: [O] Compact timestamps?

[O] Compact timestamps?
Dear all, Currently my org-agenda-prefix-format contains this: ((agenda . " %?:t %s") In the agenda view, this leads to an itme being displayed like: 18:00..: My appointment I'd like to aovid the ".." used to pad the timestamp becuase I am using a braille display so compact output matters much more to me than vertical alignment. I din't find any way to achieve this. Many thanks for any hint! Shérab.

Dear Nick, Nick Dokos (2018/03/09 16:27 -0500): > IMO, you should bite the bullet and define a capture template: it > gives you flexibility that you cannot get any other way. Sooner or > later, you are going to go that way anyway, so why not start now? Yeah I fully agree. As soon as I'll have the time I'lldo it,taking inspiration of the responsesreceived here. I jsut wanted to try the solutions from the "easiest" to the more elaborated ones. Cheers! Shérab.
Re: [O] Adding an item to the agenda from the agenda view
Dear all, Many, many thanks for all your responses! I tried the diary one which seemed like the simplest to set-up. It indeed adds an entry, but in a strange way:it adds a level 1 headingfor the year, a level 2 heading for the month, a level 3 heading for the day and a level 4 heading for the event, that has the actual time-stamp. I guess it's not very important e.g. if you never read the agenda file itself but I may still prefer the capture solution which as I understand it requires a bit more customization but also brings greater flexibility. Thanks again for all the solutions you guys provided! Shérab.
Re: [O] Adding an item to the agenda from the agenda view
Dear all, Many thanks for your responses. So as I understand it,there are two ways to achieve what I am trying to do: either through diary, or through capture. I am not sure which I should choose, though. Since it seems my initial message was somehow unclear, let me try to explain what I am trying to achieve again. I have only one agenda file, ~/gtd/agenda.org. It consists of only headings with active timestamps. When I want to schedule a dinner with John, what I currently do is: 1. C-c a a 2. Look for a date 3. (say I find that April 1st isalright) 4. quit the agenda view 5. Visit the buffer corresponding to ~/gtd/agenda.org 6. Go to the end of that buffer with M-> 7. Add a heading like * Dinner with John 8. Use C-c . to add the date, 1 apr I am fine with steps 1 to 3 but would like to do steps 4 to 8 in a much more efficient way, without having to re-enter the date, but with the same result,i.e. the heading being added atthe endo of ~/gtd/agenda.org Do I make more sense this time? Thanks again for you help! Shérab.
[O] Adding an item to the agenda from the agenda view
Dear org-mode friends, I use currently only one agenda file. Sometimes, when I need to plan for something, I check the agenda views to find a day when I am available to do that thing. Once I have found this day in the view, I would like to add an item with the corresponding date to my agenda file. What would be the most direct / straightforward / idiomatic way to achieve this, please? I read section 10.5 in the manual and the closest thing I could find was k to capture, but I think even this is not doing exactly what I am looking for. Many thanks in advance for your help! Shérab.
