I am still learning org-mode so apologies in advance:
I spend most of my org-mode time in the agenda buffer, usually
visiting the underlying files as I tidy up or review. I would like to
quickly add notes to a task as I am working on it, even if the state
isn't changing and have them appear in the right place. This seems
like something people would do often so I suspect I'm missing an
obvious mechanism.
Thanks for any pointers.
regards
Peter

If you want, org mode documentation will give you 3 mores keys to visit entries from agenda buffer. -- Paul ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

[You should reply to the list, so everybody can "hear" the conversation.] org-add-note will add a note. It's bound to C-c C-z, so from the agenda, you can do <RET> and then C-c C-z: you'll get a note buffer where you can type your note; C-c C-c will insert it.

But I think we should have this in the agenda buffer so you don't have to type <RET> to go to the actuall TODO entry. Cezar ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Just put the cursor on an agenda line and C-c C-z and enter your note - it gets filed on the appropriate task. -Bernt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
