Hi,

I am writing a Pomodoro minor mode on top of org-mode. I'm planning to= maintain
an Activity Inventory with estimates against each item and move items = into a
Todo Today heading each day as I progress through them. The approach is bas= ed on
the Pomodoro approach suggested in this book:

My problem is, as I plan to do a lot of refiling, I wan= ted to write a function
that will take a heading regular expressi= on and refile the subtree at point underneath
it. I am finding th= is to be difficult, and am wondering if anybody can offer me
any advice? Is it even possible to refile a subtree to a point using E= macs Lisp?


Based on your example file, you're trying to refile "Todo T= oday" items into a date tree of sorts below for progress tracking? Is = that the gist? Just want to make sure I (and the list) understand what you&= #39;re trying to move and to where (i.e. elaborate on "point underneat= h it").


Thanks!
John
=A0=
I've posted my code here: https://gist.github.com/mowen/522516= 9=A0My approach uses the org-cut-subtree and org-paste-subtree function= s, but it doesn't work in all situations. You can see this from the org= -pomodoro-refile-up test which is currently failing.

Thanks in advance,

Hi John,=A0

I'd like a function that takes an arbitrary regexp that matches a = heading in the current org-mode buffer, and the subtree at point will then = be moved to the level underneath that heading. So I'll have a number of= headings "Current Task", "Todo Today", "Activity = Inventory", and various date headings. I'd like to be able to move= subtrees between those headings with Emacs Lisp code.

I'm wondering if someone has suggestions on how to do this, or if it i= s even possible? I've tried a few things but can't seem to get it t= o work consistently.

Thanks,

Martin
