agenda configurable entry-text-mode

agenda configurable entry-text-mode

[Alexander Baier]

Hello!

Is it possible to alter the text shown for each headline after toggling 
entry-text-mode in the agenda?  At the moment, a certain number of lines 
of the headline's body is displayed.  Instead of the lines I would like 
to display the last note that has been recorded in a LOGBOOK drawer.

My scenario: I have an agenda that lists stuck headlines (no child 
headline is TODO and at least one is BLOCKED).  I record a note when 
transitioning to the BLOCKED state which gives a reason for the 
blocking.  I want to collect the reasons of all the blocked child 
headlines and display them under the parent headline in the agenda view 
(when in entry-text-mode).

Is this possible to do with what org-mode has to offer at the moment?

Kind regards,

Hi Alexander,

That's a very nice idea.  I think it wouldn't be too hard to implement
something like that using org-quick-peek.  Let me know what you think.
I might give it a try myself.

Hi Adam,

I hadn't heard of org-quick-peek.  I found 
https://github.com/alphapapa/org-quick-peek but could not find the 
package on MELPA, do you know why this is the case?

Also the screenshot in the README is not present (any more), thus I am 
currently having a hard time imagining what this package does / how it 
looks.

Hi Alexander,

Actually I haven't submitted it to MELPA yet.  I've been hoping to get
some more feedback and testing before doing that.  I guess I should have
adjusted the readme accordingly.  I would appreciate if you could give
it a quick test and let me know any feedback you may have.  :)

Alas, I neglected to upload a screenshot yet, either.  Basically, it
does what the agenda's "entry text mode" does, but it uses overlays from
the quick-peek package, and they look a bit nicer.

Thanks,
Adam

This looks really nice! A few things I discovered:

1. If the peek contains a link and I click on it with the left mouse 
button, the message "No link found" is displayed.

2. If a headline in the agenda contains a link to another headline and 
point is somewhere on that headline and I call org-quick-peek-link I get 
"Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)".

3. If point is on a link to another headline in a normal org buffer and 
I call org-quick-peek-link I get "Lisp error: (void-variable path)". 
This is fixed applying this patch:
