[Orgmode] Re: Force completed habits to revert to HABIT todo keyword instead of TODO

Hi Matt, Thanks for your very helpful reply. I know this is a noob question, so please forgive me for taxing your patience... How do I evaluate the statement you supplied for just one file? E.g. I want to evaluate your statement for notes.org, what do I do?

Örm, well: The original function would not reset the todo state change, but set the REPEAT_TO_STATE property (i.e.: org-set-property). To use the (right) org-map-entries function interactively, just define a interactive function: (defun hb:set-habit-keyword () *Set keyword of habits in current buffer. (interactive) (org-map-entries '(org-todo (org-entry-get nil REPEAT_TO_STATE)) STYLE=\HABIT\)) And call it with M-x hb:set-habit-keyword.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Force completed habits to revert to HABIT todo keyword instead of TODO
David, I understand what your second function does, but I'm confused about what the first one does. Does the first function set all habits to have a return to state property? Or does it cause all habits to revert to the return to state defined keyword, if it is defined? I was asking how to set return to state for all the habits contained in a single file. Since I have a lot of habits and none of them currently have a return to state property.

If you want this property present in all headlines with the HABIT property, use the org-map-entries function supplied by Matt and wrap it in the (interactive) function.

I'd try putting habits in a separate file with its own set of TODO kewords defined in a line beginning with `#+SEQ_TODO'. You can also try defining a different DONE keyword for habits together with HABIT and use it as a TODO keyword sequence as described here. info:org#Multiple sets in one file http://orgmode.org/manual/Multiple-sets-in-one-file.html#Multiple-sets-in-one-file I am sure someone with more moxie and bigger mojo than me (at least for now i.e. 00:08 CEST) could come up with a function you could add to org-after-todo-state-change-hook that does exactly what you want. -- Miłego dnia, Łukasz Stelmach ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
