Thanks guys. really appreciate all your help im now using view-mode with hooks as suggested. btw whats the advantages of viewer-mode over read-only-mode best Z On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 5:46 PM, Jorge A.

Xebar Saram writes: > i keep once and a while screwing up my notes with unintended editing > (erroneous key presses etc) and was wondering if any one knew of a way > to to switch orgmode notes between read-only/editing? Hi Xebar. Use C-x C-q. This works for every file, I use it in particular for notes that I do not want to edit. It runs the command read-only-mode which changes whether the current buffer is read-only. Actually the command switches the local variable buffer-read-only, so you can use that variable as local for every file that you do not want to edit by default. At the end of those files add: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE %%% Local Variables: %%% buffer-read-only: t %%% End: #+END_EXAMPLE And every time that you want to edit them just do C-x C-q Best, Jorge.

That key is 'e' for editing (or 'q' for quitting), already defined in view-mode. I usually open files directly from dired with 'v' instead of 'f' in view-mode to just have a look, and then either do 'e' or 'q'. > On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 4:13 PM, Thorsten Jolitz > wrote: > > > Xebar Saram writes: > > > hi all > > > > i keep once and a while screwing up my notes with unintended > editing > > (erroneous key presses etc) and was wondering if any one knew of > a way > > to to switch orgmode notes between read-only/editing? i have > used such > > options in previous note taking apps that had that option build > in but > > i understand that since orgmode notes are just text files its a > bit > > more complicated > > > > i would love to hear any suggestions on how you guys deal with > > protecting notes/data that still needs to be edited (i do use > git ofc > > but i dont always know i screwed my notes :)) > > > ,[ C-h f view-mode RET ] > | view-mode is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in > | `view.el'. > | > | (view-mode &optional ARG) > | > | Toggle View mode, a minor mode for viewing text but not editing > it. > | With a prefix argument ARG, enable View mode if ARG is positive, > | and disable it otherwise.

PS. Also can anyone think of a way to get a visual cue when the file is in "view mode"? thx!

Re: [O] a quick way to switch orgmode notes between read-only/editing?
Thx Thorston this looks great can you recommend a way to open all orgmode notes in view mode by default, i guess i would then bind a key to disable view mode to start editing right? thanks alot again Z On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 4:13 PM, Thorsten Jolitz wrote: > Xebar Saram writes: > > > hi all > > > > i keep once and a while screwing up my notes with unintended editing > > (erroneous key presses etc) and was wondering if any one knew of a way > > to to switch orgmode notes between read-only/editing? i have used such > > options in previous note taking apps that had that option build in but > > i understand that since orgmode notes are just text files its a bit > > more complicated > > > > i would love to hear any suggestions on how you guys deal with > > protecting notes/data that still needs to be edited (i do use git ofc > > but i dont always know i screwed my notes :)) > > ,[ C-h f view-mode RET ] > | view-mode is an interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in > | `view.el'. > | > | (view-mode &optional ARG) > | > | Toggle View mode, a minor mode for viewing text but not editing it. > | With a prefix argument ARG, enable View mode if ARG is positive, > | and disable it otherwise.

[O] a quick way to switch orgmode notes between read-only/editing?
hi all i keep once and a while screwing up my notes with unintended editing (erroneous key presses etc) and was wondering if any one knew of a way to to switch orgmode notes between read-only/editing? i have used such options in previous note taking apps that had that option build in but i understand that since orgmode notes are just text files its a bit more complicated i would love to hear any suggestions on how you guys deal with protecting notes/data that still needs to be edited (i do use git ofc but i dont always know i screwed my notes :)) best Z.
