I have had a look at globalff.el, and it seems to me that an even better way forward would be to talk to the developer of globalff and ask him to add a feature: It should be possible to take a default search string is taken from the file name at point in a similar way as ffap does it. He could even use ffap internals to grab that string in a useful way, I guess. This would be something not only useful in Org-mode, but in many other modes too. - Carsten > > > Jeff > > -----Original Message----- > From: emacs-orgmode-bounces+jli=motorola.com@gnu.org > [mailto:emacs-orgmode-bounces+jli=motorola.com@gnu.org] On Behalf Of > Xiao-Yong Jin > Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 11:10 AM > To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > Subject: [Emacs-orgmode] Managing files? > > Hi, I've been using emacs-org for a while.
