Dear developers,
I would like to ask you to consider the following feature request: to
make the length of the history of recent tasks in org-clock-select-task
customizable. If I understand correctly, this should be as
straightforward as replacing the three occurrences of the hard-coded
number 10 in this defun by a defcustom'd variable. Maybe call it
org-clock-select-max-task-items – I tried to find something that's
similar to recentf-max-menu-items.
Background: I use org-mode for logging all of my work time and sometimes
switch between too many tasks.
Cheers, and many thanks in advance,
Christoph

Try
(setq org-clock-history-length <n>)
In your .emacs
I believe the max on the list length is 35, but I could be wrong.
If I'm understanding your question correctly this should address your issue.

Thank you very much, that's great! I had no idea, because …
* the documentation of org-clock-goto and org-clock-in (which display
the history given universal-argument) didn't refer to this,
* org-clock-select-task does not obviously refer to
org-clock-history-length,
* I was misled by the hard-coded 10 in org-clock-select-task, which, as
I now understand, defines the boundary between digits and letters to
number tasks.
> I believe the max on the list length is 35, but I could be wrong.
I think you are right about this, given the initial code in
org-clock-history-push, and the limit to 9 digits (why actually not use
"0" for the most recent one?) and 26 alphabetic letters.
Cheers,
Christoph
