How to downgrade from the last orgmode version to a stable version

[Ypo]

Hi

I am using Org mode version 9.7-pre (release_N/A-N/A-afc529 @ 
./.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.7pre0.20240130.161905/)


But I receive several error messages and problems with several packages, 
for example after a swiper search, the headline doesn't unfold. Today, 
Vertico has stopped working while in an Emacs session.


If I try to delete the 9.7-pre version, I can't : "package-delete: 
Package ‘org-9.7pre0.20240130.161905’ is used by ‘ox-pandoc’ as 
dependency, not deleting"



What would be the correct way to go back to a stable org version?

Help: How to change faces of words between parenthesis

[Ypo]

Could it be possible to change the color of words between parentheses?

For example, in:

"mejorar su bienestar psicológico (Cronin et al., 2012; Molero, Fuster, 
Jetten y Moriano, 2011; Outten, Schmitt, García y Branscombe, 2009; 
Pérez-Garín et al., 2016)."


I would like that this part changes into a lighter color, so it doesn't 
distract me when reading:


"(Cronin et al., 2012; Molero, Fuster, Jetten y Moriano, 2011; Outten, 
Schmitt, García y Branscombe, 2009; Pérez-Garín et al., 2016)"

Sorry for not being clear. Let me elaborate what I expect.

1. Create example Org file or a set of Org files, open them with
emacs -Q, and try to trigger the problem where you expect to see ics
file, but it does not appear

2. If you can do it, share the example Org files and each step you
performed after emacs -Q until you encountered the problem.

The idea is providing me with enough info to re-create the problem on my

Hi Ihor

Can it be installed like any other elisp package?

I thought I could go using the web browser to the address showed in the

And from there to download the org-mode package, and the to load it, but

Is it necessary to build it, or to use git? This would be above my head.

Re: [DISCUSSION] Re-design of inlinetasks

Hi, Adams


In an org block:

- You can't use directly the org-mode keybinding.

- Visually, by default, it is different from the other headlines.

- When exporting, by default, it doesn't seem appropriate for reading.

- When inserting, by default, it is not as easy as inlinetasks are.

Hi

I tried to don't get the subscripts (_) affected by org-pretty-entities.

I wanted it, because I usually use (_) to divide words when naming 
my_files, and that looks ugly in Orgmode.



I have tried redefining the constant org-match-substring-regexp, but I 
think that broke several other things 😅


Is it possible to use org-pretty-entities without altering subscripts (_)?

Should I avoid using (_) in the naming of files?

Another option could be to use symbols instead of LaTeX syntax: writing 
Π instead of /Pi. This solution could be more universal, since external 
"org" interpreters like orgzly could show Π while maybe they will never 
show \Pi appropriately.

This is correct, but this customization only works in
`org-bibtex-write', which works together with `org-bibtex-read-buffer' /
`org-bibtex-read-file'.

`org-bibtex-create' hard-codes heading to be the same with BiBTeX :title

Thanks, Ihor.

I would like to customize the name of the heading. I think it should be

Is there a guide to do this?

I can see the default is:

#[257 "\300
\236A\207"
  [:title]
  3 "\n\n(fn ENTRY)"]


But I don't know how to customize it.

"Unless you are an advanced Emacs Lisp developer and have a specific 
need to work with byte-compiled code, you generally don't need to 
interact with or modify this representation directly. Instead, you can 
work with the function using its regular name and definition."



And ChatGPT offers me this alternative, which doesn't seem to work (BTW, 
I am not able to install asoc.el):


#+begin_src emacs-lisp

Now... I would like to start using it. I have seen it has a kind of 
org-capture template (M-x org-bibtex-create-in-current-entry).


If I wanted to add more properties:

- How should the different properties be named and filled to work correctly?

- Should the names of the properties be exactly like in Bibtex?

- Are there any existing org-capture templates with the properties each 
entry type could have? Or could you advise a manual of bibtex to create 
myself some complete templates?

Have you stuck with emacs or with desktop handler configuration?

In emacs init file you should have

   (require 'org-protocol)

*after*  modification of `load-path' if you use non built-in Org version.
You need running server: either emacs should be started as a daemon or

Help using org-entities or arternatives.

[Ypo]

Hi

Is it possible to, each time I write "" to be subsituted by "[...]" ?

I can't do it using abbrev, and I don't know how to do it using 
org-entities.


I use it to yank quotes, for example, I write:

   "Like other editors, Emacs has commands to search for occurrences of
   a string. There are also commands that do the same thing, but
   search for patterns instead of fixed strings."

And I would like to get, automatically:

   "Like other editors, Emacs has commands to search for occurrences of
   a string. [...] There are also commands that do the same thing, but
   search for patterns instead of fixed strings."

Re: Org Table Header bug?

[Ypo]

Hi Ihor.

The heading and first lines of the table:

|---+---+-|
| NPS (~\Oslash_int pulg.) | DN (~\Oslash_int mm) | PP/PE (\Oslash_ext mm) |
|---+---+-|
| 1/8"  | DN 6  | PE 10 / PP 10   |
| 1/4"  | DN 8  | PE 12 / PP 12   |
| 3/8"  | DN 10 | PE 16 / PP 16   |


The \Oslash appears as the Unicode character ⊘ normally.


The \Oslash is not viewed as the Unicode character ⊘ with 
"org-table-header-line-mode". And the first line of the table appears in 
the heading.


https://i.ibb.co/jht3HL0/Captura.png


The \Oslash appears as the Unicode character ⊘, if using the package 
org-table-sticky-header <https://melpa.org/#/org-table-sticky-header> 
wich has the same objective, I think:


"...this package uses the header line to show the table header when it 
is out of sight."

Re: [POLL] Proposed syntax for timestamps with time zone info (was: [FEATURE REQUEST] Timezone support in org-mode datestamps and org-agenda)

[Ypo]

Could it be reasonable to collect the hypothetical cases where relative 
timestamps would be used?

So, alternatives and solutions could be evaluated more easily.
For example:


| External Input  | User's 
input | Org output | 
Agenda output (local time) | Org time storing |


|-+--+++--|
| Meeting at 09:37:54, 28 February 2023, in Foz do Iguaçu | [2023-02-28 
ma. 09:37 @UTC-3]    | [2023-02-28 ma. 09:37 @UTC-3]  | 
[2023-02-28 ma. 13:37] | 20230228T12:37:54,68 |
| Same case as above  | [2023-02-28 
ma. 09:37 @timezone] | [2023-02-28 ma. 09:37 @UTC-3,timezone] | 
[2023-02-28 ma. 13:37] | 20230228T12:37:54,68 |
| Party at my home, tomorrow  | [2023-02-13 
lu. 14:15]   | [2023-02-13 lu. 14:15 @UTC+1,timezone] | 
[2023-02-13 lu. 14:15] | 20230213T13:15:54,68 |



- I didn't expect this: it is more difficult for me to find the 
timezone, and to write it in the correct format, than to find the UTC 
offset.


- Maybe org output should always show the time zone, since for calculations

- Should convert show every timestamp timezone, so we know local 
timezone is correct?


- Sorry for the table format, I don't know how to export it from orgmode 
to thunderbird's mail editor.

Thank you!

I have demonstrated that Etar application from F-Droid would disregard
what is invalid and basically only enter valid time. Same for Google
calendar, it would disregard invalid timestamp (even though not
represented as above), and it would enter only valid one. PostgreSQL
will "silently" ignore what does not belong to it.

One can search for "silent" here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html

That is not same case as Ihor, when he designated it as

2030-02-09 12:00 -0800 @UTC
because there are no offsets @UTC time zone.

In this different case you wish to say that it is:

time of 2030-02-09 12:00 -0800 whereby -0800 is UTC offset from floating time
2030-02-09 12:00, and one can derive UTC time.

That is totally alright as representation of time. That is how past
timestamps are represented in local time.

Why not -- you can use it for future.

I find it less useful for exchange purposes, almost useless, but you
can do. Because if you store time as UTC, you can always see local
time anywhere in the world. But if programmers wish to do that to Org,
okay fine.

It is different time type representation, that does not exist in ISO
8601, but why not, you can include it in Org.

You just be sure that you put a "tag" or such representation that
users will know what is it, even from plain text.

And now you speak of presentation. But then why store it with
2030-02-09T12:00:00-0800 when you can store it as 2030-02-09T20:00:00Z
and have representation be same "2030-02-09 12:00" to users.

So that is only addition to programmer.

Remember that not even databases store the time like that. It is
either UTC time, or date, time, and some time zone stored separately.

>/If timezone offset is changed both variants will converted to/

Correct. I understand you want to say that representation of time for
that UTC time zone will be modified depnding of change, and that is
correct.

Re: [POLL] Proposed syntax for timestamps with time zone info (was: [FEATURE REQUEST] Timezone support in org-mode datestamps and org-agenda)

[Ypo]

Great link!
https://spin.atomicobject.com/2016/07/06/time-zones-offsets/

"Given a local time and an offset, you can know UTC time, but you do 
not know which time zone you’re in (because multiple timezones have 
the same offset)."


So, given a time zone you can know the offset (Google it, for example)..
Then, given the time zone and the local time, you can know UTC.
If orgmode gets the UTC there is not ambiguity.

But, that would mean that the offset related to the different time 
zones must be downloaded and updated from some site.
As you said before, that offset can change. For example, peninsular 
Spain has the same time as Berlin, but as this doesn't make much 
sense, it could change, so updates would be necessary.
I have been thinking about how I would use this feature. So use cases 
appeared, which arose some doubts about how to use this feature, and an 
opinion for the Poll surged:


If I wanted to assist to a "Mastering Emacs book club" meeting in 
America/Vancouver, while living in Spain: Doubt: Should I use local time 
of America/Vancouver to schedule the meeting?. Like: [2024-02-04 12:00 
@America/Vancouver] (I don't like space before the @, for the Poll).
1. Doubt: I suppose my agenda timestamp would be: [2024-02-04 do. 
21:00]. (Spain local time). Correct?
2. If I went on vacation to Brasília, my agenda timestamp should change 
to: [2024-02-04 do. 17:00]. (Brasília local time).
   Doubt: How must the local time zone be updated to get that timestamp 
changed?
3. Back to Spain, I see that, for political reasons, Vancouver's winter 
time-zone changed from UTC-8 to UTC-9.

   Doubt: How would my tz database be updated?
   Doubt: After updating the tz database, my agenda timestamp would 
change automatically to  [2024-02-04 do. 22:00]. Correct?
4. For the Poll: What would be the expected behavior if we used the UTC 
offset?  [2024-02-04 12:00 @-08,America/Vancouver]
    - We should know beforehand the DST of Vancouver, or there would be 
warnings. It seems more difficult for the user: maybe the "-08," should 
be optional?
    - Case 3: After updating the tz database we would get warnings too. 
To correct those warnings, should the UTC offset be changed manually in 
the timestamp?. If there were 35 meetings in Vancouver throughout the 
year, to change all the UTC offsets could be non trivial for a normal 
user: UTC of the summer and winter would differ.
  [2024-09-04 12:00 @-07,America/Vancouver] should be changed to 
[2024-09-04 12:00 @-08,America/Vancouver]
  [2024-02-04 12:00 @-08,America/Vancouver] should be changed to 
[2024-02-04 12:00 @-09,America/Vancouver]

Help with a workflow to export plantuml diagrams

[Ypo]

Hi

I want to export a diagram, which has a syntax compatible with Orgmode.


I have these headlines:


* Business Process Modelling WBS
** Launch the project
*** Complete Stakeholder Research
*** Initial Implementation Plan
** Design phase
*** Model of AsIs Processes Completed
 Model of AsIs Processes Completed1
 Model of AsIs Processes Completed2
*** Measure AsIs performance metrics
*** Identify Quick Wins
** Complete innovate phase


And I want to export them into a WBS diagram, so I make this block:


#+begin_src plantuml :file my-diagram.png

@startwbs

 * Business Process Modelling WBS
 ** Launch the project
 *** Complete Stakeholder Research
 *** Initial Implementation Plan
 ** Design phase
 *** Model of AsIs Processes Completed
  Model of AsIs Processes Completed1
  Model of AsIs Processes Completed2
 *** Measure AsIs performance metrics
 *** Identify Quick Wins
 ** Complete innovate phase

@endwbs

#+end_src


A workflow could be:

- to use "org-cut-special" and to yank the headlines inside the plantuml 
block.


- After that, I would have to run a macro to insert a blank space before 
each headline, so orgmode doesn't recognize them as headlines.


- Each time I modified the original headlines, I would have to repeat 
that process.


Probably it would be faster to use "org-toggle-item" and work with 
lists, instead of headlines, but there must be a reason for the syntax 
compatibility with orgmode. There must be an intended workflow...


Could be the headlines exported in a faster way?

Could be possible to avoid the duplication of information? (To create 
the diagram directly from the headlines, without yanking a copy of them).

I've read somewhere that Emacs performance on windows tends to be slow,
but I can't assure you because the last windows I suffered was W98, and
at that time I didn't even use Emacs. According to the official GNU
Emacs website:

#+begin_quote

The reason for GNU Emacs's existence is to provide a powerful editor for
the GNU operating system. Versions of GNU, such as GNU/Linux, are the
primary platforms for Emacs development.

However, GNU Emacs includes support for some other systems that
volunteers choose to support.

[...]

#+end_quote

I don't know what specific performance problems you have with Emacs
under Windows, but you can post them on the Emacs-devel mailing list to
help improve Emacs performance on windows.

However, if you are not tied to windows for work reasons or for a
specific application, my recommendation is that you migrate to
GNU/Linux. But I also recommend that you try to avoid falling into the
clutches of distro hopping, at least to begin with :-). In general, any
of the popular distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) is a good choice.
Even if you want the latest of the latest software, EndeavourOS is an
excellent derivative of Arch Linux (much better than Manjaro) with a
very simple graphical installer. Arch itself also has a graphical
installer, if you want to install it, but I would start with Endeavour.
In Linux you also have the possibility of installing light desktop
environments or window managers, which run well with the specifications
of your PC. Lxde and Lxqt are good options, they have openbox as a
window manager, which is robust and highly configurable. But if you
don't want to complicate your life, xfce is a good option. Or Plasma,
which despite being very attractive, I remember that it did not consume
too many resources. And later, if you want to come in the world of
tiling-style window managers, you have a vast territory to explore. I
was very comfortable with BSPWM for a long time, until I migrated to
EXWM (Emacs X Window Manager), which is what I've been using now for a
few years.

AFAIK, 4Gb is barely enough for Windows 10. If I remember correctly, 4Gb
is the minimal hardware requirement for Windows 10, and it will use
almost the whole RAM in such scenario.

So, using things like Chromium or Emacs will likely exceed your RAM
capacity and put system into using SWAP.

You can downgrade to Windows 7, which just requires 2Gb, or you can use
Linux indeed. For example, my current Gentoo setup with Awesome WM +
Browser + Emacs + Syncthing + RSSHub + davmail running only takes 2.7Gb
RAM with bare system (no extra docker services, Emacs, and browser) only
taking 150Mb.

To convert and simplify units in tables (was:LIterate programming with calc (help))

[Ypo]

Hi

I have found an alternative solution to this problem:

Is it possible to express in a calc block some basic operations with 
variables and non-predefined units?



For example, if you wanted to build a code block that calculates how 
much money costs


a land with an Area of 300x300 m^2 at a price of 1 $/m^2.


Would it be something like this?

#+begin_src calc
  a = 300 m
  b = 300 m
  Area = a*b
  cost = 1 ($/m^2)
  A*c

#+end_src



The alternative way I am trying is using an org-table. It is not 
literate programming, but it is a spreadsheet with units ;D


| $ | a = 300 m    |
| $ | b = 300 m    |
| _ | Area |
|   | 9 m^2    |
| $ | cost = 1 USD/m^2 |
| _ | Payment  |
|   | 9 USD    |
#+TBLFM: $Area=$a*$b::$Payment=$Area*$cost

(Below "Area" cell it is the result of a*b, and below "Payment" cell it 
is the result of Area*cost)



Now, in a more practical case, I have some problems with units:

| $ | E = 2141404.05 kg/cm^2  |
| $ | s_lim = 275  N/mm^2  |
| $ | s_lim = 2800  kg/cm^2    |
| $ | W = 1 kg |
| $ | l = 65  cm   |
| $ | I = 25166  cm^4  |
| $ | Z = 1680  cm^3   |
| _ | s    |
|   | 386.90476 kg cm / cm^3   |
| _ | cs   |
|   | 7.2369231 kg cm^3 / (cm^2 kg cm) |
#+TBLFM: $s=$W*$l/$Z::$cs=$s_lim/$s

Below "cs" cell it appears 7.2... and this should be an adimensional 
number (no units). Is it possible to simplify those units?


I have tried with:

| $ | E = 2141404.05  kg/cm^2 |
| $ | s_lim = 275  N/mm^2 |
| $ | s_lim = 2800  kg/cm^2   |
| $ | W = 1 kg    |
| $ | l = 65  cm  |
| $ | I = 25166  cm^4 |
| $ | Z = 1680  cm^3  |
| _ | s   |
|   | 386.90476 kg / cm^2 |
| _ | cs  |
|   | #ERROR  |
#+TBLFM: $s=uconvert($W*$l/$Z,kg / cm^2)::$cs=uconvert($s_lim/$s, )

where uconvert is defined as:

(defmath uconvert (v u)

Re: LIterate programming with calc (help)

[Ypo]

Just in case you find this package interesting. Except some problems 
with units conversion, it's nice:


https://github.com/sulami/literate-calc-mode.el


This is a literate calc file.

Lines without "=" are ignored.

All results starting with "=>" are an overlay generated by
literate-calc-mode. That means they are displayed in Emacs, but not
actually in the buffer/file contents.

We can calculate a value like so:

= 2 + 2 => 4

If there is any string on the left hand side, it becomes a bound
variable.

Pi = 3.14159 => Pi: 3.14159

We can use this variable below the definiton.

Tau = Pi * 2 => Tau: 6.28318

Results are calculated using Emacs' own calc, so you can use formulas
as well.

= round(Pi, 2) => 3.14

Later bindings shadow earlier ones:

Pi = 3 => Pi: 3

= Pi => 3

Variable names can have spaces as well:

Monthly Expenses = 500 => Monthly Expenses: 500

Monthly Income = 1000 => Monthly Income: 1000

Annual Savings = 12 * (Monthly Income - Monthly Expenses) => Annual Savings: 
6000

All values are recalculated on every update in a spreadsheet-like
fashion.

Calc also has a lot of advanced features, like arrays:

Numbers = [1 2 3] => Numbers: [1, 2, 3]

= 3 Numbers => [3, 6, 9]

Thanks, Juan Manuel.

I normally study using PDF books. Their typography is like "hardcoded", 
so a post-processing using Orgmode is needed, I think.

I tried "query-replace [a-z]-" but I don't know how to exclude the

What would you advise?

I think it will be more practical for you to use pandoc:

With this command you can convert an epub format to org:

pandoc my-epub.epub -o my.epub.org

(https://pandoc.org)

You can also install calibre and convert your epubs to plain text from
there.

If you have git, you can clone Org repo (see
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git) and then run

   make repro

from inside the Org repo folder. It will open a clean Emacs instance
configured to use the Org version from the repository.

Alternatively, you can add devel package archives ELPA devel. See

Transforming footnote-definition into footnote-reference is not intended

Re: LIterate programming with calc (help)

[Ypo]

Not bad, thanks!!!

Why do you think it doesn't work something more human readable like this?

#+begin_src calc
   solve([
   a = 300 m,
   b = 300 m,
   Area = a*b,
   cost = 1 (USD/m^2),
   z = Area*cost

   ], [a, b, Area, cost, z])

I've never managed to get calc blocks define variables.  The equations
you have typed in are "equations" in the mathematical sense, not
assignment statements.


Is it possible to work with the "$" unit?

$ means something specific in calc (cannot remember what).  I use "USD"
instead, for instance, and it works fine.

The following single line calc block does do what you want:

#+begin_src calc
   solve([a = 300 m, b = 300 m, Area = a*b, cost = 1 (USD/m^2), z = Area*cost], 
[a, b, Area, cost, z])

Is it possible to express in a calc block some basic operations with 
variables and non-predefined units?



For example, if you wanted to build a code block that calculates how 
much money costs:


a land with an Area of 300x300 m^2 at a price of 1 $/m^2.


Would it be something like this?

#+begin_src calc
  a = 300 m
  b = 300 m
  Area = a*b
  cost = 1 ($/m^2)
  A*c

#+end_src


Is it possible to work with the "$" unit?

Why A*c won't show an arithmetic result, but ~: A c ~?

Wanted result is:


#+RESULTS:
: 90 000 $

[off-topic] E-readers and Org-Mode

[Ypo]

Probably an offtopic for your offtopic, but:


I use my phone to read e-books:

- AMOLED screen (black color doesn't emit light).

- low level of brightness (so I can read in the night without "losing" 
melatonin). Usually e-book reading app gives you this option.


- the PDF reading app must have reflowing of the text, so you can choose 
the size and font you like.


- no blue colors (ie yellow "face" with a black background). Not sure 
about its effect, but everywhere I read about blue filters. 8-)




Orgzly I use to capture ideas; and other tasks related with 
auto-organization (GTD). Of course, the .org files are sync with my 
computer.


For reading org-mode documents on mobile, I haven't found the perfect app.

Re: Best android app

Hi

I don't know how to send patches.

I have found the place where I want to add some lines:

https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg/tree/master/item/org-faq.org#L4502


I have cloned the "repository" hoping it works like in github, but I see 
no option to edit.



If I click on "prepare a patchset" I can just see past commits. I 
suppose first I should've done the commit, but how?:

Re: idea for capture anywhere in x

[Ypo]

Thanks, Ihor.

But I was referring to 2 possible workflows (not sure if org-protocol 
would be the answer).


The first workflow would consist in emphasizing the web page permanently:


1. Open in ~eww~ the web page.

2. Emphasize with org-mode: highlight the text of the web page.

3. In the future, when opening again the web page, the highlights should 
appear.



I don't know what would be the best way to do it. The only way I know 
similar to that, is using "org-web-tools-insert-web-page-as-entry".

Re: idea for capture anywhere in x

What if:
1. It were easy and immediate to open in ~eww~ any web page that we are 
reading in "x".

2. Once on eww we could:
 a. Emphasize (markup, "highlight") the text and save the 
modifications for the future. Then we could continue reading the 
emphasized web page.

 b. Create and send to an org headline the desired regions of text.

I remember when I was happy reading e-books on my brand new Nokia N80. 
Just plain text, just enough.


Eww is far superior to my old Nokia, so it could be great to work and 
process webpages for taking notes.

Org contacts documentation

[Ypo]

Hi Renato!


I had the same feeling. For suggestions or bugs I suppose a mail to this 
list with a copy to numbchild@gmail*.*com 
 
would do it.


All in all:

The documentation starts by /org-capture/, but forget about it:

The basic function that org-contracts does, is searching and show you 
the results.


Where does it search?

It searches in any headline that has a specific Property like: email or 
address or... You can customize these properties that define what 
headline is a contact (customize-group org-contacts).


And that's it!

Now, you can generate contacts by hand, or faster using org-capture, as 
documentation says.



Here it's org-contacts better explained by Ihor:

Sorry for my delayed answer. But I don't see it either :/

"The prompt will default to a timer string at
+  point (if any),"

I can't see it well related to the C-u prefix. For example why the "(if 
any)"? It should be unnecessary, since it is the previous explained 
general case.

Help mastering indentation

[Ypo]

Hi!

I am studying in org mode, I love it, I prefer it over some university 
books which have poor typography.



But when it comes to displaying each paragraph, I perceive it like very 
difficult: filling, unfilling, wrapping, adaptive wrapping, indent... 
and it seems that emacs and org-mode have their own functions.



Is there a way to mastering paragraphs displaying?


What I would like to achieve is to display unfilled paragraphs in 
org-mode, with the first line indented, and hyphenation at the end of 
the lines. Could this be done just using the functions in emacs?


Best regards

Re: Dates in headlines

[Ypo]

I found it again:

"If the headline contains a timestamp, it is removed from the link, 
which results in a wrong link—you should avoid putting a timestamp in 
the headline."


https://orgmode.org/manual/Handling-Links.html#FOOT28





this iirc has been obsolete for many years and ime and on ml never was
an issue.  i tried to find out why it was mentioned but did not find
anything.  it might have been an ambiguity in the manual to do with
active tses like in your example?  e.g. the agenda will remove the
active ts at least in certain cases, but that is a deliberate feature.

i successfully rely on inactive as below.  they are sorted by the ts.
a capture template inserts them.

much better than date trees for my case.  always show, sorted at
bottom, no hierarchy, nothing out of sync, can scan and bisect to find
an entry or get a sense of number, can change a ts and sort again,
looks the same in the agenda, etc.

Suggestion: default path for attachments

[Ypo]

Could it be possible to customize a default folder for attachments?


- I am using inheritance (org-attach-use-inhetirance).

- But in the headlines in the first level, the :DIR: property needs to 
be set by hand, always.


- I would like to have a default attachment folder which would be 
"inherited" by all headlines.



Not sure if that could be a good idea for "org attach group easy

Or if at least I could "hack" it.

Re: org-latex preview on Windows

[Ypo]

Hi Jeremie

In my emacs it works great. Even org-fragtog that allows you to edit in 
an interactive manner.


- Just in case it could be helpfult, these are the lines in my init file 
that I can find related to LaTeX:


(custom-set-variables

 '(org-preview-latex-image-directory "~/borrar/ltximg/")

 '(preview-TeX-style-dir "~/.emacs.d/elpa/auctex-13.0.11/latex" t))


- I installed LaTeX following these instructions:

https://ikaruga2.wordpress.com/2011/06/14/latex-emacs-and-orgmode-in-windows/


- I have edited the Windows System Variable "Path" and added to it:

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\


I hope that helps

Content-Type: text/plain

Hello everyone,

I have had difficulties using  org-latex-preview to run properly on Windows.
The main issue seems to be that the user name on windows gets abbreviated
with ~. As far as I understand this generate problems as the temporary
folder cannot be found.

see for instance these posts
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/70119

and an old post from Vincente Vera
https://list.orgmode.org/CAMfbzvDPLS1eqXJ=7tzh1035z3vq4q4-yjmqsvbcgxzp8kd...@mail.gmail.com/

Vincente, suggests altering the temporary environment variable
(setenv "TEMP" "C:\Temp"). I have tried this option and place it in my
.init file but the Temporary file in org-mode uses does not change.


As a work around I modified the function org-compile-file in lisp/org/
org-macs.el
by adding altering the source variable as such

  (let* ((source (replace-regexp-in-string "JEREMI~1" "JeremieJuste"
source))

This is obviously not an ideal solution but I cannot find any other
solution immediately. Have someone else come across the same issue on
Windows? Do you have any suggestions?

Best regards,
Jeremie

Suggestion with footnotes when toggling headlines into plain lists

[Ypo]

When turning headlines into plain lists ~(org-ctrl-c-minus)~, I think 
footnotes should be moved to the bottom of the main headline.


Example; Original headlines:

* Main headline
** Headline 1
 [fn:1]

[fn:1] 
* Headline 2


~C-c -~ turns that into a list where footnotes definitions can't be 
found. It gives, for example, problems when exporting or when more 
footnotes are added:


* Main headline
- Headline 1
   [fn:1]

  [fn:1] 
- Headline 2


The desired outcome, could be something like this:

* Main headline
- Headline 1
   [fn:1]
- Headline 2
[fn:1]

Imposible to set :weight Light for a font

[Ypo]

Hi

Another noob X file:

I can't set ":weight Light" for a font.


If I set it using the "Menu, Options, Set Default font, Cascadia Mono - 
style Light"; the text in the buffer changes correctly;


https://i.postimg.cc/htZ4rL2w/1.jpg

but in the init.el the :family changes into "Cascadia Mono Light".

https://i.postimg.cc/VL3Dbp8H/2.jpg

When restarting, it seems that family "Cascadia Mono Light" doesn't 
exist, so the default font family changes by itself into "Frank Ruhl 
Hofshi".


In the customization buffer family is "Frank Ruhl Hofshi",

https://i.postimg.cc/y8Kg3yDz/3.jpg

but in the init.el family is "Cascadia Mono Light".

https://i.postimg.cc/XqFqpr3J/4.jpg



If I set in the customization buffer (:family Cascadia Mono :weight 
light) the default font in the buffers doesn't acquire the :weight light.


In the init.el it appears :family "Cascadia Mono" :weight light.

In the customization buffer weight goes back to "normal".

https://i.postimg.cc/QxmsSQ6D/5.jpg


Could it be related with light and Light capitalization?

Could it be some kind of curse for using a non free font?

Re: C-SPC works; C-u C-SPC doesn't. How could be?

[Ypo]

Thanks, Bruno

I will save your advice for future debugging :-)


Maybe you could use the keys that are already defined by org, to move
between list items ?


 ‘S-’
 ‘S-’
  Jump to the previous/next item in the current list, but only if
  ‘org-support-shift-select’ is off(6).  If not, you can still use
  paragraph jumping commands like ‘C-’ and ‘C-’ to quite
  similar effect.


That requires me to change hands position, I must think about it.

Sorry, my bad. 'keymap-lookup' will only exist in 29.  I should have
used 'lookup-key':

  (lookup-key global-map (kbd "C-u"))
  

The problem comes from:

(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-u C-n") #'org-next-item)

If I eval that line, "C-u C-SPC" stops working on org-mode.

Same problem in runemacs -q. Is it a bug?

That line is the problem. It's hiding the real "C-u"
(universal-argument) in org-mode buffers. Once you've lost the standard
meaning of "C-u", you can't use C-u C-SPC and all other functions.

I am using the elisp-bug-hunter package that has saved me many times in

What elisp expression would return nil when C-u prefix works and non-nil

I have tried

(eq (key-binding "C-u C-SPC") 'nil)

You are comparing the value of posicion to 1?

Then it should probably be "(if (= posicion 1) ...)" or
"(if (equal posicion 1) ...)" or something like that.

Thanks, Tomas. It seems the "if" part works, now I can use my elisp just 
with the spacebar :-)


(add-hook 'logos-focus-mode-hook #'(lambda ()

(defvar posicion
  "Position where is the cursor.")

  (defun focusPointStart ()
  (interactive)
  (next-line 1)
  (beginning-of-visual-line)
  (forward-char 6)
  (setq posicion 1)
)

(defun focusPointInter ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-char 23)
  (setq posicion 2)
)


(defun focusPointEnd ()
  (interactive)
  (end-of-visual-line) ;;C-e
  (backward-char 7)
  (setq posicion 3)
)

(defun focusJump ()
  (interactive)
  (if (equal posicion 1)
    (focusPointInter)
  (if (equal posicion 2)
  (focusPointEnd)
    (if  (equal posicion 3)
    (focusPointStart)

(define-key global-map (kbd "SPC") #'focusJump)
))

Thanks, Greg

 * Now I am able to run my script every time I am in logos-focus mode :D
 * But my keys don't get to be "normal" after I get out of logos-focus
   mode.

This is how my code is evolving (the "conditional part" is not working yet):

(add-hook 'logos-focus-mode-hook #'(lambda ()

(defvar posicion
  "Position where is the cursor.")

(defun posicion3 ()
  (interactive)
  (end-of-visual-line) ;;C-e
  (backward-char 7)
  (setq posicion 3)
)

(defun posicion2 ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-char 23)
  (setq posicion 2)
)

(defun posicion1 ()
  (interactive)
  (next-line 1)
  (beginning-of-visual-line)
  (forward-char 6)
  (setq posicion 1)
)

(defun salto ()
  (interactive)
  (if posicion 1
    (posicion2)
  (if posicion 2
  (posicion3)
    (if posicion 3
    (posicion1)

;; (define-key global-map (kbd "SPC") #'salto)
(local-set-key "j" 'posicion1)
(local-set-key "k" 'posicion2)
(local-set-key "l" 'posicion3)
))

Ypo,


Additional problem: I don't know how to recover keys 1, 2 and 3 to
their normal functioning, right now I can't type 1, 2 or 3 on my
Emacs. xD

you have, e.g.,


(define-key global-map (kbd "1") #'posicion1)
(define-key global-map (kbd "2") #'posicion2)
(define-key global-map (kbd "3") #'posicion3)

but, that is in the global map.  for a given mode, i sometimes do
something like that:


(add-hook 'mh-show-mode-hook #'(lambda ()
  (local-set-key "q" 'mh-show-execute-commands)))

or, closer to what you have, sometimes like


 (define-key mh-letter-mode-map
  (kbd "C-c s")
  'ggm-mh-sentaddrs-completion)

i am no elisp expert, and so those are just random things i've found
that work.  but, hopefully this may give you a hint of a direction to
follow.

cheers, Greg

Help with my first elisp

[Ypo]

Hi


After thinking about learning elisp for years, today I've tried my first 
script. First I made some macros that worked as I intended, and then 
using this tutorial of Protesilaos I was able to transform those macros 
into elisp code.


https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-01-31-learning-emacs/
(thanks a lot)


My situation: I am using Protesilaos' package logos, and I would like to 
add to it something (a hook?): to mark the position where my eyesight 
must go. Example:


https://www.tiktok.com/@yporg/video/7100510074342280454?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7100507416085399046


My problems:

 * I don't know how to make my code work always and only when in
   logos-mode.
 * I get those jumps pressing 1, 2 and 3. I would like to use just 1
   key (for example SPACEBAR) not 3 keys to run the function.


My code:


(defun posicion1 ()
  (interactive)
  (next-line 1)
  (beginning-of-visual-line)
  (forward-char 6)
)


(defun posicion2 ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-char 23)
)


(defun posicion3 ()
  (interactive)
  (end-of-visual-line) ;;C-e
  (backward-char 7)
)

(define-key global-map (kbd "1") #'posicion1)
(define-key global-map (kbd "2") #'posicion2)
(define-key global-map (kbd "3") #'posicion3)


Additional problem: I don't know how to recover keys 1, 2 and 3 to their 
normal functioning, right now I can't type 1, 2 or 3 on my Emacs. xD



I think it could be interesting to use just SPC, instead of 1, 2 and 3. 
Maybe it could be done using conditionals, like in this not-working example:


(defvar posicion
  "Position where it is the cursor.")


(defun posicion1 ()
  (interactive)
  (next-line 1)
  (beginning-of-visual-line)
  (forward-char 6)
  (setq posicion 1)
)


(defun posicion2 ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-char 23)
  (setq posicion 2)
)


(defun posicion3 ()
  (interactive)
  (end-of-visual-line) ;;C-e
  (backward-char 7)
  (setq posicion 3)
)




(defun salto ()
  (interactive)
  (if posicion 1
    (posicion2))
  (if posicion 2
    (posicion3))
  (if posicion 3
    (posicion1))
)

(define-key global-map (kbd "SPC") #'salto)



Any help, advice, warning, or menace are welcome.

Best regards :-)

Re: I can't set dabbrev to respect the writen case

[Ypo]

Hi, acdw

I am trying your package, but I see no list of expansion candidates. 
When I eval hippie-completing-read, it just inserts one candidate.


Thanks for your work,
Ypo

I also wrote the package `hippie-completing-read'[1] to give a nicer UI (in my
opinion) to the hippie-expand command.

You might want to have a look at the corfu and cape packages.

https://github.com/minad/corfu
https://github.com/minad/cape

The corfu packages is basically a completions UI package built on-top of
built-in Emacs completion functionality while cape is a set of
completions at point functions which has support for dabbrv (and
others).

Alternatively, if your a copmany mode user, I believe there are company
dabbrv modes you can install. Company is probably more mature in the
sense it has been around for some time. However, I like the underlying
principals of corfu (i.e. leverage of existing Emacs functionality
rather than re-inventing it).

I did find with corfu and cape that it took a bit of experimentation and
use to get things 'just right'. However, once you have it working and
are use to it, I find it works well (I'm using Emacs 28 and 29(.
