Hya guys

i know this is probably a silly question but does anyone know how to make a
shortcut that inserts a heading which already includes a TODO state?
 i have a main file named todo.org in which all heading are todos. each
time i need to do a 2 step process: add heading and then add a todo state,
so im looking for a quicker way to add a todo item (IE a keybind to add a
already todo header).

another better solution if possible would be maybe reassign the C-Enter
keybind to create a todo header only in a specific file (todo.org) if
thatspossible?

thx alot in advance

Hi,

This task is handled with capture templates.
Here's how I do it:

(setq org-capture-templates
    '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline (concat org.d "gtd.org") "Tasks")
        "* TODO %^{Brief Description} %^g\n%?\nAdded: %U  %i\n")
    ;; more templates here
))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-~") 'org-capture)

regards,
Oleh

Capture is the way to go for a general (and anyware) way to create
TODOs. But for something simple, you can use <M-return> to create a new
headline in org-mode and <M-S-return> to create a headline with a TODO.
