One year after - questions and suggestions

One year after - questions and suggestions

[Bastien]

Hi Carsten and all,

it's been one year now that I stopped actively contributing to Org, but
I didn't stop using it, of course.  Here is a loooong list of questions
and suggestions I have.  I tested them over a fresh Org and Emacs, both
pulled from their repos this morning.  

I apologize if most of this has already been mentionned in discussions I
missed - I digged the mailing list a bit but I didn't check thoroughly.

Thanks!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

- BUG: When export a descriptive list to ASCII, replace the ":"
  separator by a single ":".

- BUG: Switch to a state requiring an annotation, cancel the annotation,
  there will be an empty :LOGBOOK: drawer.  Remove it?

- BUG: When picking up a date with `org-time-stamp', <up> and <down> will
  browse the minibuffer history.  I think it does not make sense here.

- BUG/FR: When building completion list for refiling, don't include the
  very entry we are trying to refile.

- BUG: In agenda mode, C-e goes to the [last-1] char of the line.  (Note
  that this is not visible when the entries finishes with a link.)

- BUG: Weird result of C-c * when used before the first heading.

- BUG: Properties inserting in a remember buffer are not indented
  correctly when the remember note goes to its target.  For example:
  
  * My remember note
    :PROPERTIES:
    :Effort: 10
    :END:

  Is refiled to the Notes entries:
 
  * Notes
  ** My remember note
   :PROPERTIES:
   :Effort: 10
   :END:

  ... but the drawer does not align with the stars.

- BUG?: When deleting an attachment, the :ID: property is not itself
  deleted.  Not sure if it's wrong, but it's weird.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

- FR: In addition to the {+} {:} facilities for dynamically computing a
  property's value, have a way to use a calc or a tbl formula?
  Additionnally, have a _DEFAULT suffix to define defaults.

- FR: A function to display the link the cursor is on (the same way the
  mouse displays a small popup.)  This function would particularily be
  useful in the agenda view.

- FR: C-c C-l in agenda view to edit link at point?  (Or is this
  producing to much overlap between org-agenda and the normal org
  editing mode?)

- FR: Highlight the currently clocked-in task in agenda-mode? 

- FR: When selecting an attachment, if there is already a directory
  defined for this the current entry, then use this directory as the
  default directory for browsing and select the attachment.

- FR: All numeric values within brackets are highlighted.  Since this
  type of footnotes is now discouraged, I think it make sense not to
  highlight those values (having digits in square brackets is not so
  rare.)

- FR: When refiling to a non-existent entry, create this entry on the
  fly?

- FR: Allow to insert "+1d"-type strings when picking up a date with
  `org-time-stamp'.

- FR: Symmetric to individual lead time, I wish I can have individual
  "remaining" time - for example, the number of days during which a
  deadline is still visible in the agenda view.  (That would happily
  steal 90% of what org-expiry.el is trying to achieve.)

- FR: IMHO, turning off follow-mode in the agenda view should restore
  the window configuration we had before turning follow-mode on.  (By
  the way, not being able to use `C-x 1' when follow-mode is on is quite
  confusing.)

- FR: Following a sh: or an elisp: link prompts the user for
  confirmation.  Can we have a variable that let the user to globally
  turn this off?

- FR: Visually mark (with #) entries that are marked in the agenda view?
  
- FR: When setting a mark in the agenda view, go to the next line?
  (Like in buffer-menu and other menu mode.)

- FR: When undoing an archive command, correctly delete was has been
  added to the archive file?

- FR: Symmetric to `C-c / b' have a `C-c / a' command to select entries
  that are after a date?

- FR: Maybe `?' could provide a little help in agenda mode.

- FR: Grouping several :clock: lines when clocking periods are very
  close to each other (with a user-defined threshold).  For example,
  clocking 5 times 10 minutes within the same hour would be rounded up
  to one hour.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Q: How to set a recurring time range (say an 2-days event)?
  
  For example: <2009-03-14 sam>--<2009-03-15 dim> recurring each month.
  I know I could use a diary sexp but I wonder if it's possible withing
  Org's syntax.

- Q: Is there a way to select properties which values are = < > to a
  numeric value?

- Q: `org-attach-auto-tag' has no effect when attaching a directory
  (instead of a file)?

- Q/FR: Is there a way to set `org-enforce-todo-dependencies' per task?
  (By the way, if I understand correctly, the :ORDERED: property only
  makes sense when `org-enforce-todo-dependencies' is non-nil, right?)

- Q/FR: How to go at the end of a field in a table?  Maybe C-a and C-e
  could be contextually redefined to do this, since a table is such a
  specific editing context.

- Q/FR: How to delete the timestamp of an entry from the agenda?  Maybe
  `C-c C-d SPC', `C-c C-s SPC' could respectively delete deadlines and
  scheduled properties.  Or maybe C-c C-u could remove any timestamp
  (this keystroke is free in org-agenda-mode since outline-mode is not
  loaded.)

Thanks for any feedback,

Fixed.  I am also removing the list bullet for this case.

This has now its own history list.

This is a bit hard, and Org will throw a good error if you try.

It does because I want to avoid problems with the overlay keymaps
and stuff like this.  Why is it a problem?

It is for me.  The reason why the indentation adaptation does not work
it probably because you have lines that are not indented at all in the
note as well.  This will inhibit org-adapt-indentation when pasting
a subtree.  Only if all lines are indented at least one space, then
indentation will be adapted during pasting.

The ID property is something independent of the attachment,  how
could Org know that you do not need it for different purposes?

There was a patch recently on the mailing list, subject "elisp  
formulas....."

C-c C-l  LOOK  RET RET   :-)
Hard to find new key bindings for these.

Good one.

You mean if there is an attachment directory defined?
What do you mean by "when selecting and attachment"?

I guess we should have an option to disable these as footnote markers,  
yes.

This has been requested frequently - I am not sure if I can do this
with all the different completion interfaces...

This works for me, what am I missing here?

I think the purpose of deadlines is for them sting you until you do  
something about them?  For me it seems that this would be counter  
productive.  Why don't you tick off these items ok archive/kill them????

Hmmm, I am not sure.  When you press SPC to look at an entry, the config
is also not restored.  Still, maybe a good idea........

Yes, there is such a variable: org-confirm-elisp-link-function
and org-confirm-shell-link-function.

I am not sure what you are talking about, what marking???

This is hard and error-prone.

Implemented, thanks.

Hmmm, yes, why not.  What should it say?
Because, the keys are available in the menu.

With things nicely tugged way into drawers, I see no reasons to do this.

Would be nice, but handling time stamps is already extremely
complex because of all the little things I added.  I think I
would like to rewrite the entire timestamp handling first,
which will not happen.

yes! "PROPERTY<5" in any tags/property search

No, this is currently not possible.  I guess we could have
another property for this.  However, this would only work
locally, not for the agenda because if you do not set the global
option, the test looking for dependencies is optimized away.
I believe this is good.

Word-motion commands?  I am not comfortable with overloading C-a and C- 
e.

I believe C-u C-c C-s and C-u C-c C-d do this for Deadlines.  You men  
the time stamp w/o any keyword????

Well, it is not really.

Good to know, thanks.

For me the ID was created by attaching a file.  I expected detaching it
would delete the ID, but of course, IDs can have other purposes.

Seen it, will test it closely.

But C-c C-l is not accessible from the agenda, right?

Yes.

C-c C-a should be aware of any previously defined directory, and take
this directory as the default directory when browsing for other files 
to attach.  Am I more clear?

Weird.  C-c C-s + 1 d RET does only insert today's date here, no "+1d"
string.

Well, let's say I plan to do something next week but it's not high
priority.  I want it to pop up in my agenda view next week, and stay for
three days, because passed this delay, I know I won't have any interest
in doing it anymore.  Having something like +3d looks consistent to me
-- but I agree I can find workarounds.  Or just fix my habits :)

Great, thanks!

Sorry I meant when marking an entry with `k m' in agenda view.

Same here.  `k m' would jump to the next unmarked entry.

Will think of it.

Yeah, but maybe some people don't use menus (I don't).

The main reason was to cheat and try pretend you've been working 1 hour
when you really worked 50 minutes :)

forward-paragraph and backward-paragraph would make sense, no?  For now
M-} jumps out of the table.

The problem is that you don't see whether an entry is scheduled or has a
deadline in agenda view.  How do you decide which one to delete?

Thanks for all answers!

No, it is not, and I'd rather not make it.  There could be several links
in a headline, and the agenda is really meant to have commands that
do not depend on where in the line the cursor is.

I guess you could add to post-command-hook in the agenda something
like this, to use the echo area if it is empty:

(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (add-hook 'post-command-hook
		      (lambda ()
			(unless (current-message)
			  (if (looking-at ".*?\\[\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]")
			      (message "Link to: %s"
				       (org-match-string-no-properties 1)))))
		      t t)))

No, not clear to me.

Do you mean that the attachment directory should become the default?
No, maybe you mean that if I have already attached a/b/c/file,
the next time you want to attach a file from the same directory, a/b/c?

I use them to look up keys, nothing else :-)

Yes, I can see that, but anything automatic would probably create  
crap.  Editing time stamps is easy enough though....

Well, the prefix in the agenda does tell you if it is scheduled or a  
deadline!

I tried, and it works just fine.

Note that +1d is equivalent to +1
Also, note that +1d is relative to today, while ++1d is relative to  
the date where the entry is scheduled now.

About the marking, it does not make sense to mark more than a single  
item.
The idea is to make an item, then to go to a date in the agenda or in  
the calendar and press, for example, `k s' to schedule the item at  
that date.

Did you have something different in mind with marking?

I think even better are M-a and M-e, the sentence motion commands.
I have overloaded these now.

Well, each line in the agenda does indicate what the reason for the
inclusion of the line in the agenda is.
