Re: [O] advice on ways to quicken refiling..perhaps a hotkey to refile to specific org file/header?

Nice idea. A quick grance at `org-refile' in org.el, something like this will do: (defun org-refile-to-myfile () Refile to myfile.org (interactive) (org-refile nil nil '(my refiling pos myfile.org 0))) The 3rd argument seems to be `(list message file re pos)', but not sure how `re' and `pos' works. Could someone enlignten me? -- yashi

It's quite simple: capture all the tasks into the proper place right away, instead of dumping them into one place and sorting out later. Firstly, there's capturing into project. A project is just a heading at gtd.org/Projects/project-name. Once a task is in a project, there's rarely any need to refile it. I tag each task with the project tag anyway, just in case. The project setup is a list entry like this: '(TINY y tiny.el) That's the tag, key binding and heading name. I push this data into `org-capture-templates`. Now I can capture into project gtd.org/Projects/tiny.el with C-- y. Secondly, there's a special capture for pdf files, I've posted it on the list before. Thirdly, there are captures from `org-protocol`. I have this setup: (setq org-protocol-default-template-key l) (push '(l Link entry (function org-handle-link) * TODO %(org-wash-link)\nAdded: %U\n%(org-link-hooks)\n%?) org-capture-templates) `org-handle-link` will distinguish: 1. Links for StackOverflow questions, putting them in wiki/stack.org/Questions. 2. Links to YouTube, downloading the video with `youtube-dl` and including both the link to the original and the downloaded videos in the captured item. I highly recommend `youtube-dl`: watching videos in vlc compared to firefox is like editing in Emacs compared to gedit:) 3. All the rest will be dumped into ent.org/Articles. `org-wash-link` currently just strips the unnecessary - Stack Overflow from the link description, since the task is already in wiki/stack.org/Questions. It's possible to add other rules per website of course. Hopefully some of the described tricks are useful. I can post the code on github if anyone's interested in the details. regards, Oleh

[O] advice on ways to quicken refiling..perhaps a hotkey to refile to specific org file/header?
Hi all i find the normal C-c w then manually choosing a file to allocate each 'capture' pretty slow. i am looking for any advice on workflows you guys have to make this quicker. one thing i was thinking of was maybe assigning a hotkey to do a refile to a specific note/heading. so ill have 5-6 hotkeys to my most common files to speed things up, can this be done? if so can anyone show my an example of such a thing? kind regards Z.
Re: [O] advice on ways to quicken refiling..perhaps a hotkey to refile to specific org file/header?
I have this in my config, although I don't refile that much lately: (setq org-refile-targets '((nil :maxlevel . 3) (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 3))) This should give you an ido choice of all headings up to level 3 in all your agenda files as refile targets. Then just give a few headings a unique enough name and you're done. regards, Oleh On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 4:43 PM, Xebar Saram zelt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all i find the normal C-c w then manually choosing a file to allocate each 'capture' pretty slow. i am looking for any advice on workflows you guys have to make this quicker. one thing i was thinking of was maybe assigning a hotkey to do a refile to a specific note/heading. so ill have 5-6 hotkeys to my most common files to speed things up, can this be done? if so can anyone show my an example of such a thing? kind regards Z.
