Subject: Dynamically adjusti tags position
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:35:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zlbewv58.fsf@in-ulm.de> (raw)

hey there,

I wrote a bit of code that allows me to have the tags always at the
utmost right position in the file... I often have windows that are
bigger than the standard 80 characters wide default and I dislike seeing
the tags in the middle of the window.

I started doing this and found out that adjusting the tags every time I
resize a window breaks tracking org-mode files with git. If the last
window is just a bit smaller than last time, the complete line will be
shown as a diff. Therefor hooks are used to reset the column variable to
1 so that git tracking still works.

If anyone wants to use this or want to look over it if I could do this
smarter, I'm very happy.

If the response is positive I'll clean it up a bit and maybe it is worth
a contribution or a worg page. :-)

best regards,
benny
