So I created a capture template which inserts a "todo" under the already listed niggle (which has a progess cookie). =A0It's simple and reasonably fast. Does anyone have any other ways of counting/tallying in org-mode? There are two issues with how I'm doing it. =A0One (pretty minor) is that the inserted todo doesn't trigger off the progress cookie. =A0It's not a big deal; when I want to know which niggle has the largest count, I just need to do C-u C-c # in the file. =A0But I thought I'd point it out in case it could be fixed. The second issue is one I have with capture all the time; I want the refile to be faster. =A0I have a few capture templates for logging that send to a particular headline, but most times I use capture the target can be anywhere in my main outlines. As it is, I'm almost always finishing up with C-c C-w, and in effect starting from scratch each time, narrowing down to the target from all my agenda files. =A0I'd really like a template where once I've called it and entered text or tags or whatever, I use a single key press and the refile selection would begin with a file or headline pre-selected for quick further narrowing down. I don't know if that's do-able with IDO but I do imagine it could work with file+headline, file+olp etc. They would become file+headline+prompt etc and just as now, the template would determine which target was first suggested, but then it would still be "open" for quick further filtering before RET. =A0 =A0To summarise - my 2 ideas are: 1. to add something like "+prompt" to refile selection in general, and 2. to allow capture templates with a "+prompt" target to use a single key to start the refile process. =A0I hope all this makes sense!
