Subject: Global TODO: display more than the TODO heading line?
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2013 20:54:04 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOwkxPZtUVpPqMf7qD96qGBC2W91eenGKpzmwDojOpHi6_TnEA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I use orgmode as a to do tracker rather than a scheduler, so C-cat is
my main command.

I have a bunch of files with TODO items in various states including
WAITING and HOLD.  When I change something to the WAITING or HOLD
state, the C-c C-t command is set to ask why so a line of information
is in the org file after the TODO line.

(setq org-todo-keywords
      (quote ((sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "SCHEDULED(s)" "|" "DONE(d)")
              (sequence "WAITING(w@/!)" "HOLD(h@/!)" "|"
"CANCELLED(c@/!)" "PHONE" "MEETING"))))


I'd love to see that line of information in the TODO list so I know
why something is waiting or on hold without having to visit it.

So and org file entry that looks like this:

* HOLD make staffauth group and upload keys
  - State "HOLD"       from "TODO"       [2013-12-16 Mon 11:54] \\
    Hold till we can work out a group to create (or a current one to use?)

Now appears in the global todo list as:
56726-user-keys-ovl01.syd:HOLD make staffauth group and upload keys

and I'd like to see something like

56726-user-keys-ovl01.syd:HOLD make staffauth group and upload keys
    Hold till we can work out a group to create (or a current one to use?)

Can the todo list be tweaked in this way?

Can some other agenda view be created so that the comments made when
the item is set to WAITING or HOLD show up?  With or without the date
the comment was made?
