Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

[Dominic Surano]

Hello,

I use org-mode a lot like a wiki so links to other org-mode headings are 
very common. Currently, I navigate to the heading or pull it up in an 
agenda view, store the link with C-l, going back to where I want to 
insert the link, then insert the link with C-c C-l RET. This is a bit 
time consuming.

Instead, I would prefer to map a key that allows me to insert a link at 
the current point using tab completion similar to org-refile (C-c C-w). 
Looking through org-id.el, it seems like org-id-get-with-outline-path 
completion was designed for this purpose. I tried:

(global-set-key "\C-ci" (lambda () (interactive) (org-id-get-with 
outline-path-completion)))

but it didn't work as intended. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
-D

For reference, I have the following set in my configuration:

;; Use global IDs
(require 'org-id)
(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t)

;; Update ID file .org-id-locations on startup
(org-id-update-id-locations)

;; Targets include this file and any file contributing to the agenda - 
up to 9 levels deep
(setq org-refile-targets (quote ((nil :maxlevel . 9)
                                 (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 9))))
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
(setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps t)
(setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes t)

i also have a similar workflow and would love to hear Dominic if you found
a solution for this or if anyone on the list has other suggestions?

The function `org-refile-get-targets' is the standard way of producing a
list of all possible headings -- ostensibly to refile to, but you can do
anything you want with them.

If you want to restrict this to Org headings that already have ids
(though I'm not sure why you would), you can use the org-id-locations
hashtable.

I still think you'd have to use one of the above to pick a heading, then
go to the heading in a `save-excursion', call `org-store-link', then
back to your original location, and call `org-insert-link'. I don't
think there's any cleaner way of doing that...

Hi Saram,

I've been in the same boat and decided to write a company-backend for
this purpose. So if you're already using company-mode, this may be worth
looking into:

https://github.com/mutbuerger/company-org-headings

Keep in mind that I'm in the process of learning Elisp and
there has been little to no testing done on the package. Furthermore it
uses org-store-link instead of org-id-store-link.

Regards,
Bernhard Pröll

Thx so much Bernhard

this looks really promising. i never had luck with either company or
auto-complete t o get it to work reliably (it often stops working even
though its still in the mod bar).
anyway i tried it and added this to my config (after cloning from git):

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/zeltak/.emacs.g/company-org-headings")
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
 (lambda () (set (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
    '((company-org-headings)))))

i dont see it completes on org heading, is there any keys i need to press
or anything else in need to config? does this work only when you try to
insert a link?

best and thx so much, this look awesome

P.S have you considered Helm for this as well?

best

Re: Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

(helm-org-agenda-files-headings) seems to do this already for all
headlines in your agenda files. the third action is to insert a link to
the selected headline.

You can use let to temporarily define the org-agenda-files list to what
you want, and just use the (helm-org-agenda-files-headings) command for
non-agenda files.

e.g.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun insert-heading-link (dir)
  "select a headline from org-files in dir and insert a link to it."
  (interactive  (list (read-directory-name "Directory: ")))
  (let ((org-agenda-files (f-entries
                           dir
                           (lambda (f)
                             (string=
                              "org"
                              (file-name-extension f)))
                           t)))
    (helm-org-agenda-files-headings)))
#+END_SRC

gives me a helm buffer to select headlines from org-files in the
directory I select and when I press f3 (for the third
action), it inserts a link to the selected headline. It does the file
finding recursively, so you might not want to run this on /  ;)

You could bind it to a key for easy use.

Re: Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5840 bytes --]

Hi again

so excited over this had to ask 2 more questions ;-)

1.can that function include/link to org-id  (so that it can keep the links
even if the headers move around in/out of the files)
2.i saw there are 3 options to that helm function. can this be customized
to add more commands (can really think of which ones know but could see
potential in future :))

thx so much John as always you rock ;-)

Re: Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

[John Kitchin]

usually it is pretty easy to add new functions in helm, but it is less
easy in this case because the source is dynamically generated from a
function. So, in this case I think we have to just redefine the function
that generates the source. here is an example that I think makes an id
link as a new action.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun helm-org-insert-id-link-to-heading-at-marker (marker)
  (with-current-buffer (marker-buffer marker)
    (let ((file-name (buffer-file-name))
          (id (save-excursion (goto-char (marker-position marker))
                              (org-id-get-create)
                              (org-id-store-link))))

      (with-helm-current-buffer
        (org-insert-link
         file-name id)))))


(cl-defun helm-source-org-headings-for-files (filenames
                                              &optional (min-depth 1) (max-depth 8))
  (helm-build-sync-source "Org Headings"
    :candidates (helm-org-get-candidates filenames min-depth max-depth)
    :action '(("Go to line" . helm-org-goto-marker)
              ("Refile to this heading" . helm-org-heading-refile)
              ("Insert link to this heading"
               . helm-org-insert-link-to-heading-at-marker)
              ("Insert id link to this heading" .
               helm-org-insert-id-link-to-heading-at-marker))))

Re: Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

[Dominic Surano]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 9203 bytes --]

Sorry, I meant to get to this yesterday. See my question on Emacs
StackExchange
<http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/12391/insert-org-id-link-at-point-via-outline-path-completion>
 and my configuration file
<https://github.com/sk8ingdom/.emacs.d/blob/master/org-mode-config/org-general.el>
where
I added this functionality. Basically, you go to insert a link with C-c
C-l, type id: <ENTER> and then you'll be prompted to find the org-id via
outline completion. I've reproduced the code below for convenience:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; Add ID properties to all headlines in the current file which do not
already have one
(defun my/org-add-ids-to-headlines-in-file ()
(interactive)
(org-map-entries 'org-id-get-create))
#+END_SRC

The other responses look good as well. Hope this helps!
-D

Re: Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

[Bernhard Pröll]

Hi again,

my guess into the blue: You haven't set the directory as described in
the readme (it defaults to nil).

Since I don't use helm, I haven't considered it.

The purpose of this backend is avoiding the `find-file-noselect' as used
in `org-refile' and the `helm-org-agenda-headings' suggested by John.
It's somewhat in-between using `org-refile' and an indexing with
external tools (recoll for example as recently debated on this list).

Regards,
Bernhard Pröll

Re: Insert org-id Link at Point via Outline Path Completion

[John Kitchin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 9159 bytes --]

You are, that code modifies the helm-org-agenda-files-headings function by
adding a new action to it. So, try:

M-x helm-org-agenda-files-headings

select a heading, press tab, and you should see a 4th, new action to insert
an org-id link.
