Apologies. ====== remember ideas i've gathered over the past few months ===================================================== Author: tom Date: 2008-11-24 14:38:05 MST Table of Contents ================= + respect pop-up-windows + if the target file for org-remember is already known use the control variables from that file that way you can have your todo sequence available + if org-remember does not recognize the type, abort completely + org-remember should be reentrant able to call itself from inside itself if you have a note you want to add that is not related to the one you are adding. + org-remember-templates takes a character can it take a function key? + emacs-w3m tight integration with org-mode - might be interesting to use an org-mode file to store bookmarks. this would require changing the way bookmarks are added, to store them in a way similar to org-remember. - perhaps antenna can also be integrated with org-mode. [2008-09-20 Sat 18:26] + org merge org-annotate-file with remember code to allow annotating anything also have a hook for opening files and w3m pages etc. that will print in the minibuffer "this file/page/directory is annotated. press ... to see the annotation". [2008-10-27 Mon 22:02] [Extensions in the contrib directory - The Org Manual] + brainstorm: support asking for the template after the note was entered. this might complicate things too much. this is a tricky one to design, but the philosophy is that the time between having an idea and entering it should be minimal. choosing the template type is a cognitive burden before you enter the idea. so dedicate a remember shortcut to the concept of "let me enter this now". c-c c-c, it asks you details like is this a todo item? and which file does it go to? you would have a remember template that allows for other remember templates to be chosen after you enter the note. ideally, it works like this: 1. call org-remember like that 2. enter note 3. c-c c-c 4. choose whether it's a note, journal, or shopping item 5. if it's note or journal, choose whether it's todo 6. if it's note or journal, choose tags (RET for none) 7. show completed buffer 8. y to accept; n to edit nested plists? -- Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialists are knowingly causing further suffering and death by opposing biomedical research on this fast-spreading serious disease.
