Subject: Feature Request? #+CONFIG keyword - to abstract more configuration into org files,
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:55:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d6808890910221255j3ed36d34t63366fb6da3309d2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Simply,

Expand the #+<KEYWORD> in-org file configuration possibilities with
a #+CONFIG or similar keyword.

The idea being to abstract more configuration into actual org files,
and let extensions have an easy way to use #+KEYWORD configuration.  I
expect it could also be used to auto-load suitably registered
extensions/contributions.

So for example, my org-action-verb extension might use a line like:

#+CONFIG org-action-verb TODO|NEXT Address Ask Buy Change Clarify

Where there is handler function CONFIG:org-action-verb, that is
defined as auto-loadable and called with the rest of the line to
configure the extension.

I guess this mechanism could also be extended to abstract more
core-org configuration - such as agenda keys, stuck projects, or
whatever.

what do people think?

Tim.
