It's a Quicksilver-like program for Emacs that allows you to quickly select objects and run actions on them. The first thing I thought of is how nice it would be to quickly add TODOs to a project and complete TODOs, without having to navigate to the buffer where they're located. I'm sure this isn't a new idea. With anything.el, you could add the task "Move pictures" to the project "Organize shared drive" by typing F5 Orga RET Move pictures RET. You could complete the task by typing F5 Move RET. Both those are assuming nothing else matches Orga or Move. Is this something people are interested in? Here's a quick list of the two objects (Name) and actions I thought of. I'm sure there are many others. * Anything.el ** Org-mode *** Name: Projects (level 2 headings) **** Action: Create new TODO **** Action: Create new subheading **** Action: Complete **** Action: Archive *** Name: TODO (level 3 headings) **** Action: Complete **** Action: Schedule **** Action: Set Deadline **** Action: Clock in **** Action: Clock out **** Action: Add note I'm sorry this email lacks code--it's just an idea. Thanks for reading, Scott
