The idea is to let you ;; amass and access brief notes on many subjects with minimal fuss. ;; Each note is an entry in an ordinary Org file. ;; Org-Velocity can be used in two ways: when called outside Org, to ;; store and access notes in a designated bucket file; or, when called ;; inside Org, as a method for navigating any Org file. (Setting the ;; option `org-velocity-always-use-bucket' disables navigation inside ;; Org files by default, although you can still force this behavior by ;; calling `org-velocity-read' with an argument.) ;; Org-Velocity prompts for search terms in the minibuffer. A list of ;; headings of entries whose text matches your search is updated as ;; you type; you can end the search and visit an entry at any time by ;; clicking on its heading. ;; RET displays the results. If there are no matches, Org-Velocity ;; offers to create a new entry with your search string as its ;; heading. If there are matches, it displays a list of results where ;; the heading of each matching entry is hinted with a number or ;; letter; clicking a result, or typing the matching hint, opens the ;; entry for editing in an indirect buffer. 0 forces a new entry; RET ;; reopens the search for editing. ;; You can customize every step in this process, including the search ;; method, completion for search terms, and templates for creating new ;; entries; M-x customize-group RET org-velocity RET to see all the ;; options. ;; Thanks to Richard Riley, Carsten Dominik, Bastien Guerry, and Jeff ;; Horn for their suggestions. ;;; Usage: ;; (require 'org-velocity) ;; (setq org-velocity-bucket (expand-file-name "bucket.org" org-directory)) ;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c v") 'org-velocity-read) ;;; Code: (require 'org) (require 'button) (require 'electric) (require 'dabbrev) (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) (defgroup org-velocity nil "Notational Velocity-style interface for Org." :tag "Org-Velocity" :group 'outlines :group 'hypermedia :group 'org) (defcustom org-velocity-bucket "" "Where is the bucket file?" :group 'org-velocity :type 'file) (defcustom org-velocity-search-is-incremental t "Show results incrementally when possible?" :group 'org-velocity :type 'boolean :safe 'booleanp) (defcustom org-velocity-exit-on-match nil "When searching incrementally, exit on a single match?" :group 'org-velocity :type 'boolean :safe 'booleanp) (defcustom org-velocity-force-new nil "Should exiting the minibuffer with C-j force a new entry?" :group 'org-velocity :type 'boolean :safe 'booleanp) (defcustom org-velocity-max-depth nil "Ignore headings deeper than this." :group 'org-velocity :type '(choice (const :tag "No maximum depth" nil) (integer :tag "Set maximum depth")) :safe (lambda (v) (or (null v) (wholenump v)))) (defcustom org-velocity-use-search-ring t "Push search to `search-ring' when visiting an entry?
