How do you do that? At the moment my org file has sections like this: ,---- | * Emacs | | #+CATEGORY: Emacs | | | * Register | | #+CATEGORY: Register `---- And I then have a host of "insert task" options thus: ,---- | '(org-remember-templates | (quote ( | (?t "* TODO %?\n %u\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Tasks") | (?n "* %U %?" "~/org/notes.org" "Notes") | (?f "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "FaceBook") | (?l "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Linux") | (?e "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Emacs") | (?R "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Register") | (?r "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Remember") | (?j "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Journal") | (?L "* %U %^{Title}\n %i\n %a\n" "~/org/todo.org" "Links") | ) | ) `---- My question is how to assign a task to a category, preferably through a pick/select from a list of predefined category names. Category functionality appears to be limited to place holders in the org file which then anchor sections in the agenda but I'm not 100% sure. ps Is there an IRC channel for org? The mailing list is busy enough I wonder if an IRC channel wouldnt be a good idea to help people through teething pains. regards r. > On 10/11/07, Richard G Riley wrote: >> >> Categories are fairly handy for keeping the agenda well organised, but >> what are the functionalities for moving tasks between different >> categories e.g a task might move from "PROJ1" to "PROJ2" or some >> such?
