Hi everyone,
I would like to change some key bindings related to archiving,
and this change will also affect the access key for attachments.
The main reason is that I think there should be a single default key
for archiving, and that the user sets a variable to decide what the
default
archiving method should be. I would like this key to be `C-c C-a' which
is why the org-attach key would have to move as well.
Here is my proposal:
In Org-mode files
-----------------
C-c C-a archive default (setq by org-archive-default-command)
C-c C-x C-s org-archive-subtree (C-c $ remains valid as well)
C-c C-x a org-toggle-archive-tag
C-c C-x A org-archive-to-archive-sibling
C-c C-x C-a attach
In the agenda
-------------
a archive with org-archive-default-command
C-c C-a same as a
C-c C-x a org-toggle-archive-tag
C-c C-x A org-archive-to-archive-sibling
C-c C-x C-s org-archive-subtree ($ remains valid as well)
I am wondering how much resistance such a change would create.
Comments?

I kind of agree that one-letter commands should be `safe': they should not do anything that cannot be easily undone; it's just too easy to hit them by accident. If it cannot be undone, I prefer the C-x ... key sequence, or have the `a' prompt for something. Cheers, Peter. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

I archive once a month in 'bunches' so I find a subtree to archive, then do C-x ( C-c C-x C-e (once) then C-x e e e e ... to do my archiving for a sequential set of subtrees. I can see hitting 'a' by accident would archive stuff when I don't intend to. Maybe if there was a configurable question to verify you want to archive then that would mitigate this potential problem. We would need the ability to toggle this safety question on and off. -Bernt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

My chief concern with mapping archiving to C-c C-a is that it is too close to the conventional keybinding for org-agenda (C-c a). With the proposed keybindings, I fear it might be too easy to introduce drastic changes in a file accidentally. (E.g., I sometimes hit C-c C-a when I intend to hit C-c a and vice versa.) > > In the agenda > ------------- > a archive with org-archive-default-command > C-c C-a same as a > C-c C-x a org-toggle-archive-tag > C-c C-x A org-archive-to-archive-sibling > C-c C-x C-s org-archive-subtree ($ remains valid as well) Again, I would prefer that C-c C-a remain bound to org-attach. I currently unbind "a" (org-toggle-archive-tag) in the agenda. In the past, items often mysteriously disappeared from my agenda view. I discovered the cause: I was occasionally hitting "a" by accident. I agree with Peter that commands with relatively destructive consequences (such as archiving) should not be bound to a single key. One wouldn't want to miss an appointment because one accidentally hits "a" in the agenda. :) Thanks for giving us the chance to provide feedback on these proposed changes. - Matt > > > I am wondering how much resistance such a change would create. > > Comments? > > - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

So archiving from the agenda will then be `a y'. - Carsten > > Thanks for giving us the chance to provide feedback on these proposed > changes. Well, I just learned again how important this is.

If someone upgrades to the next release of org-mode, wouldn't it offer a smoother migration path to: - set org-archive-default-command to something that asks for confirmation and reminds the user that he can set it to another value, to get rid of the question - and then use this command for both C-c C-x C-a in files and 'a' in the agenda? That way the user gets reminded before he breaks something, but only has to customise things once. Just an idea.

That is an idea, but with the fast update schedule of Org, this would quickly lead to a big mess in prompts and settings to be made, so I do not think this is practical. The issue with org-agenda-keymap and org-agenda-mode-map has to do with the mouse - maybe this is not really necessary - I made this when I did not really understand keymaps very well, a looong time ago.

I'll take another look. I think I can get rid of this variable, and I just did, so now there is only org-agenda-mode-map (org-agenda-keymap remains as an alias, so that bindings in this map will still work.) I am pushing it out, we will see if it breaks something.

If this is your default archiving method, the idea would be that you set (setq org-archive-default-command 'org-archive-to-archive-sibling) and then use `a y' to do the archiving. I actually think that few people use archiving to sibling. Am I wrong about this?

I use archiving to sibling for sub-headings in projects that are still current, to tidy things up, then archive the whole project subtree to the archive file when it's finished. I'd prefer to have archive to sibling as the default option with the fewest keystrokes. (FWIW!) Paul ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

I prefer to see the original structure in the tree, but with the dead branches (i.e. already resolved subprojects). But don't get me wrong, I don't want to proselytise or something.

That was my fear, too. If you don't use the archive on a regular basis you'll be very surprised, when your entry vanishes ... :-) It is _very_ close to C-c a.

I would like this key to be `C-c > C-a' which is why the org-attach key would have to move as well. I think one of these days we could take a look at the whole of the key bindings in org mode. It is violating some conventions. For example, 'Alt' usually means something slightly different in actions in both Emacs and other applications on the system: `C-f' -> forward-char `C-M-f' -> forward-sexp On OS X, Cmd + H -> Hide <APP> Cmd + Option(Alt) + H -> Hide others But in org, it seems the Shift key is taking this role: M-RET M-S-RET ...... And usually Shift is not a modifier on terminals so another set of keys are provided. Another problem is the C-c C-x prefix. It makes the keys look long. And I always fear I might type C-x C-c instead which exits Emacs. Best wishes, Leo -- Emacs uptime: 38 days, 8 hours, 42 minutes, 15 seconds ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread
