Org-mode version 5.17

Org-mode version 5.17

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi,

I am releasing version 5.17 of org-mode, hopefully the last
release before the holidays.  Lots of stuff is still on my TODO list,
but this is how far I have gotten.

Enjoy, and happy holidays.

- Carsten

Changes in Version 5.17
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Details
=======

Whitespace
----------

    - When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
      empty lines *before* the subtree/item now belong to the
      part and will be moved with it.  There is one exception to
      this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
      equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
      lines *above* the first child to be moved along with it is
      limited by the number of empty lines *below* it.  This
      sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
      before the first child and still have good behavior of the
      subtree motion commands.

    - Plain lists items work the same.

    I believe we have finally nailed this one.  Thanks to Daniel
    Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
    pointing out that it is the empty lines *before* an entry
    that really count.

    This change was non-trivial, please give it a good test and
    let me know about any problems.

Remember
--------

    - The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
      to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
      If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
      can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
      C-c r'.  This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.

    - Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
      a default value and a completion table.  Furthermore,
      previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
      history variable.  For example:

       %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}

      will prompt for an author name.  Pressing RET without
      typing anything will select "Roald Dahl".  Completion will
      give you any of the three names.  And a history will be
      kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
      input.  The history is tied to the prompt.  By using the
      same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
      across templates.  The ideas for this came from proposals
      by Bastien and Adam.

    - When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
      will be stored immediately after all template parts have
      been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
      C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.

Refile
------

    - `org-refile-targets' has a new parameter to specify a
      maximum level for target selection.  Thanks to Wanrong Lin
      for this proposal.

    - When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
      refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
      completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3".  This
      may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
      outline entry.  Do we need to use this interface in other
      places?  Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.

Fixed in 5.17a, thanks for the report.

The error was caused by a workaround for a new macro in Emacs 23,
declare-function.
In Emacs 22 it does not exist, and my work-around was not correct.

Make sure that you recompile org.el first, i.e. remove org.elc and
then type make.

Here is the only slight oddity I've found so far:  when moving folded
trees, sometimes the moved tree will be swallowed in the previous or
next fold...

Here is an example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE: Test file
#+STARTUP: fold

* headline 1

** subheadline 1

Content.

** subheadline 2

Content.

** subheadline 3

Content.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


1. make sure this file is folded

2. go to headline 1

3. TAB to unfold

4. go to subheadline 2

5. M-<down> 
   => subheadline 1 goes below subheadline 2 [OK]

6. M-<down> 
   => subheadline 1 disappears (is in subheadline 3 fold)

IIRC, moving subtrees never ended up in them disappearing before.  
Is there a simple way to make sure that the moving subtree always 
remains visible?

Thanks!  And happy holidays --

Thanks again. I've been playing with this new feature and it's really
as useful as i imagined. One related idea just occurred to me: i think
it'd be nice to be able to specify a non-existent leaf at the prompt,
in which case a node with the requested path would be created and the
refile would take place (as a child of the new node). Would that be
difficult to implement?

Cheers,
Jose

More on this: I think this is due to the fact that any empty line at the
end of a subtree is considered to be part of the *next* subtree...

Maybe it is reasonable to consider that any subtree ends with a minimum
of 1 empty line?  I guess this would solve the problem of wrongly folded
subtrees...

Thanks, works great!  Looks like you forgot to add the help text to
the defcustom again though ;-)

This is also great - it would be *even* better if we also had the
per-template option of automatically jumping there.  This could be
implemented in exactly the same way as you did the "don't prompt me"
%! option above.  The justification is that each remember template
defines a mini-workflow, and some will then require immediate editing
of the new item in its final context.  Additionally it would provide a
workaround to the problems described here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4692

since if the new item is immediately moved to its final context,
keywords/tags/priorities etc. can be set there rather than from within
the *Remember* buffer.

This is really cool, however there is one problem: SPC is now bound to
minibuffer-complete-word in this context.

We do, this is from the 5.14 release notes:

    You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to the  
location where
    a specific templates stores its notes. For example, if you have  
`org-remember'
    bound to `C-c r', then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and  
headline given in
   the template associated with the letter "n".

Sorry, I should have been clearer.  I'm aware of that functionality,
but for some templates, I really want it to *automatically* jump to
where the note has been stored *immediately* after storing has
happened, rather than requiring extra keystrokes.  This is because for
some templates, I will *always* want to review the new note in its
final context.  That's why I suggested implementing it by reusing the
really nice idea you had of defining %! within a template to mean
"don't prompt me" - similarly you could have %& or some other sequence
to mean "jump straight to the destination".  And in some cases, a
combination of both ("%!%&") will be very effective.

Additionally it would provide a workaround to the problems described
here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/4692

since if the new item is immediately moved to its final context,
keywords/tags/priorities etc. can be set there rather than from within
the *Remember* buffer.

Thanks!

It would not be difficult but error-prone.  And it would not be clear  
*where* the new node should be created.

I am not taking any action for now on this.

Any more thoughts on this one?  I would have thought it would be very
easy to implement, and it would be a huge help in streamlining my
workflow (and hopefully other people's too).

Additionally, is it possible to set up a template so that it will
always insert at the very top of a particular file?

Thanks!

Hi Adam,

I have now implemented this feature, exactly as ordered :-),
with %&.

Woohoo!  Awesome, thanks - I have wanted that one for a long time :-)
Seems to work great.  I have three comments/questions related to this
and similar org-remember details:

  1) Ideally %& would preserve the position of the point within the
     template when it arrives in the final destination.  This is
     particularly important if a template has all three of %? %! and
     %&, otherwise %? is effectively ignored when %! and %& are
     present.

  2) It doesn't seem possible to set up a template so that it will
     always insert at the very top of a particular file.  I really
     miss that, since I keep most TODOs at the top level, and I like
     a "newest first" view by default when not in the agenda.

  3) I am a bit confused by the 'Selection interface for heading' 5th
     option of a remember template.  It doesn't seem to have any
     effect - how is it supposed to interact with
     `org-remember-store-without-prompt'?

Thanks again!

Ask anybody using org-mode whats the fuss about org-mode and they'll all
say one thing: Carten Dominik.

Thank you Carsten and keep up the good work.

That does now work, I believe.

Well, the newest first is no problem, just use the first headline in
the file as remember target and configure the variable org-reverse- 
note-order
to make sure that the specified file it treated in this way.

Having said that, you can now use `top' or `bottom' as values for the
remember target heading, and the note will then be filed as a level 1  
entry
to the top or bottom of the file, respectively.

Yes, this is confusing, I agree.  When
`org-remember-store-without-prompt' is set (which is the default),
all the positioning interface stuff is completely by-passed.
Setting nil for file or headline really means: use the default,
taken from
`org-default-notes-file' and `org-remember-default-heading',
respectively.

It seems to ensure that the point is wherever %& was, rather than
wherever %? was.  Is that intentional?

That's *exactly* what I was after, and I love the way you've
implemented it; thanks!

Thanks for the clarification - and the changes to the Customize UI
seem spot on too.
