Subject: Idea - adds new TODO item for specific time and task-group
Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 19:56:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <471D9CD7-BE8F-4BF6-8551-6426D54E7397@email.cz> (raw)

Hi,

I tried to implement function for adding a new todo item to an org-file.

Let's say there is a org-file:

=====
* Project 1
** Small Tasks of project 1
###-PROJECT1-###
*** a task no.1
     DEADLINE:....
...
=====

If I am in agenda-view and press "I" key, it will insert new task  
after the "###-PROJECT1-###" string with deadline or schedule for  
given day:

=====
* Project 1
** Small Tasks of project 1
###-PROJECT1-###
*** TODO (cursor here)
     DEADLINE: ....
*** a task no.1
     DEADLINE:....
...
=====

It is similar for "i" key (org-self-insert-command).  So, after  
pressing of "I" key, it will ask for schedule or deadline and  
afterwards for task-group according to a configuration (see attachment).

Am not so familiar with org-mode, so this is just pilot version with  
lot of drawbacks.  For example it will not insert new task, if file  
is in OVERVIEW presentation.

If some find it useful, I advice to add it to official package.  But  
of course with better implementation.  Can you have a look and  
explain me how to do it better?

Thank you in advance,
Juraj
