Here are the variables I use: org-use-fast-todo-selection org-agenda-files org-remember-templates org-default-notes-file --Don Womick -----Original Message----- From: emacs-orgmode-bounces+don.womick=3Dcingular.com@gnu.org [mailto:emacs-orgmode-bounces+don.womick=3Dcingular.com@gnu.org] On = Behalf Of Carsten Dominik Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 3:49 AM To: emacs org-mode mailing list Subject: [Orgmode] POLL: the 40 variables project Hi, yesterday I did this command in my org-mode git repo: grep defcustom lisp/*el |wc -l and got 378 as an answer. 378 user-customizable variables, no kidding. However, I bet that only about 10% of these are really used by more that one user :-). So when a new users starts digging into Org-mode, they simply must be confused by the amount of variables that can be set. So here is the idea: I would like to find out which variables users actually customize. This could be the basis for a great article on Worg, describing just these selected variables. In addition, I could make a special customization group which only contains those variables (Emacs allows to put a variable into several groups). It would be awesome to have, and a much easier start into customizing Org. So here is my question to all of you. Could you, in reply to this message, list all the Org-related variables that you have customized, along with the values you used? If you want to do more, I'd also love to see comments on - why you set the variable like this - if you feel that the default value of that variable should be different - Any other comments you might what to give. Of course, if there is a volunteer who would like to organize this info into a Worg page, I would even be more happy ... Thanks! - Carsten _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
