Thank you for the replies. It has been some time but I had lots of work to do here so didn't have much time to play around. So, refiling doesn't do exactly what I would like. Some issues I've found: * I need to write the data in a buffer first and then C-c C-w to refile it. * It only allows you to refile to the root items and doesn't go any deeper. * If I'm processing items in a different file (I've setup org-remember to save the items in a different file) I don't have access to my gtd.org file lists (can't refile between different files). -- is there a way to get the items from another file? org-remember is really powerful and I use it a lot when I have ideas that I want to process later. However, sometimes you have a specific cristal-clear next-action in your head and you know where it belongs (i.e the project), but you want to quickly input it and keep working. This is something I miss from PlannerMode, where you can quickly input an item and choose which file it will go, so, that's what I would like org to have, a **quick way to input items interactivelly, all through the mini-buffer.** Is there a way to do that? If not, I keep it as a suggestion for next releases. I'm also willing to contribute as soon as I master elisp! Keep up the great work, Marcelo.

Thank you for the replies. It has been some time but I had lots= of work to do here so didn't have much time to play around.

So,= refiling doesn't do exactly what I would like. Some issues I've fo= und:
=A0* I need to write the data in a buffer first and then C-c C-w to refile = it.
=A0* It only allows you to refile to the root items and doesn't = go any deeper.
=A0* If I'm processing items in a different file (I&#= 39;ve setup org-remember to save the items in a different file) I don't= have access to my gtd.org file lists (can&#= 39;t refile between different files). -- is there a way to get the items fr= om another file?

org-remember is really powerful and I use it a lot when I have ideas th= at I want to process later. However, sometimes you have a specific cristal-= clear next-action in your head and you know where it belongs (i.e the proje= ct), but you want to quickly input it and keep working. This is something I= miss from PlannerMode, where you can quickly input an item and choose whic= h file it will go, so, that's what I would like org to have, a **quick = way to input items interactivelly, all through the mini-buffer.**

Is there a way to do that? If not, I keep it as a suggestion for next r= eleases. I'm also willing to contribute as soon as I master elisp!

Hi Marcelo,

If I'm understanding it correctly, org-remember with interactive filing=

then type C-1 C-c C-c to choose where to file it.
