Hello,

When I run C-u C-c C-x C-i I get a choice between the interrupted task,
the current task, the default task and recent tasks.

I however wonder whether it's possible to add in custom shortcuts to
fixed tasks? This would help me easily clock into my “IRC”, “Mails”
etc. tasks, to and from which I frequently switch.

Do you have any idea how to accomplish that? I haven't been able to find
anything in the manual [1].

Cheers, and thank you once again for this great piece of software!
  Leo

Hi there Leo;

This is not possible out of the box; can you say a bit more about how
you expect to indicate which tasks are to be always present?

A quick-and-dirty way to implement something along these lines is to
modify org-clock-history-push to always keep a selected set of markers
in org-clock-history.

Cheers;
M.

I would be thinking of something like defining a list of key -> link to
a task (that may be generated with org-id's task ID, [[*foobar]] links
or whatever) in my `init.el`.

Hmm… That sounds like it'd work, but would have a pretty terrible UX. I
guess I'll go with just using custom shortcuts for now, then, if there's
no easy way to integrate it with C-ucxi. (I don't feel like I'm ready to
dive into too intricate elisp yet)

Thank you for your feedback!
Cheers,
  Leo

Alright, can you give this patch a spin and see if that's what you want?

By the way, I've been using this for quite some time, and I find it quite
useful.  It may be worth considering it for inclusion—see attached patch.
Opinions?
