|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a loose collection of ideas and TODO items for the future
|
|
development of Org-mode. These ideas come from various sources,
|
|
mostly from emacs-orgmode@gnu.org, from direct emails to me, or from
|
|
my own day-dreaming. I don't always mention the source of an idea,
|
|
out of laziness. However, when I implement a good idea, I try to
|
|
mention the origin of this idea in the <i>Acknowledgments</i> section of
|
|
the manual - let me know if I forgot to give <i>you</i> credit for
|
|
something.

<p>On this page, I am using TODO keywords in the following way:

|

<tr><td><b>WISH</b></td><td>A wish, probably voiced by someone on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. This is less than a new idea, more a change in existing behavior.</td></tr>

</li>
|

<li><span class="todo">TODO</span> proper visibility cycling for items<br/>
|
|
Make them not hide the text after the final list item.
|
|
This is not trivial, we cannot usenormal outline stuff,

needs a separate implementaiton.

Is there a problem with the overriding map?

<ul>

|
is this safe, or could things be messed up with this?
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">TODO</span> Make S-right and S-left change TODO keywords<br/>
|
|
Right now they change the time stamps. This could be
|
|
M-left/right, but this could also cause inconsistencies, because
|
|
when on a time stamp, the same keys do exactly this.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">WISH</span> Make more modes changeable from the agenda<br/>
|
|
These could be made available for toggling, just like
|
|
follow-mode. Examples:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>

org-tags-match-list-sublevels

<li>

</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">IDEA</span> Sort TODO entries according to type?<br/>
|
|
This would apply for the list collection, not in the day entries.
|
|
However, I could also have a TODO keyword criterion that could be
|
|
used in the day entries, as one of the minor criteria.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Allow separators in the Tag-sorted agenda view<br/>
|
|
This feature is not going to come, because block agendas can
|
|
achieve the same thing.

<h3 id="sec-6">2.3 Links</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">WISH</span> When editing links, give access to stored links.<br/>
|
|
Not sure why this is needed.
|
|
Idea from William Henney.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">WISH</span> Variable of standard links for completion with C-c C-l<br/>
|
|
Or something like that, to make standard links fast.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">WISH</span> Make brackets in links possible<br/>
|
|
Would require a display property also for the label part of
|
|
links.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">IDEA</span> Find all links to a specific file<br/>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">IDEA</span> Make info HTML links work for links to Info files<br/>
|
|
Info links of course only work inside Emacs. However, many info
|
|
documents are on the web, so the HTML exporter could try to be
|
|
smart and convert an Info link into the corresponding link on the
|
|
web. For example, we could use the GNU software site then
|
|
Name.HTML. Here is the link to be used:
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/">http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/</a> Another
|
|
question is, is this URL going to be stable so that it makes sense
|
|
to actually put this into org.el?
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">IDEA</span> Make news HTML links work, using Google.<br/>
|
|
I can use Google groups with a message id to find a USENET message,
|
|
even if the original link points to gnus.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">TODO</span> Remove irretrievable links from <i>published</i> HTML output<br/>
|
|
This is on David's table, and he will hopefully integrate a
|
|
mechanism for this into org-publish.el. The discussion about this
|
|
was started by <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/281">Austin Frank</a>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Agenda collections, based on #+COLLECTION lines.<br/>
|
|
<a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/139">Tim Callaghan</a> started the discussion on this one.
|
|
Declined because this would depend on local variables and the
|
|
agenda commands are global. Also, this can actually be done by
|
|
specifying the file list in a custom agenda command.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Make CamelCase words link to corresponding org-mode files.<br/>
|
|
Files in the same directory. Or some other way to easy do that.
|
|
Would be useful for publishing projects. This would be an
|
|
incompatible change, but I don't think anyone is using CamelCase
|
|
anyway?
|
|
This is marked declined, because link abbreviations now provide an
|
|
easy way to make links to other files.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">TODO</span> Document the character protection in links<br/>
|
|
I don't think this is really covered anywhere.
|
|
Maybe we also should protect characters in the visible part, to
|
|
make sure thing will never be on two lines…?
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">WISH</span> Radio targets across files<br/>
|
|
I guess each org file could write a .orgtargets.filename file, if
|
|
it has any radio targets.

|
(boundp 'buffer-file-coding-system)

if there is an issue at all.

To make narrowing work under XEmacs, I would need to write a

version of <i>format</i> that does transport text properties, or I

would have to rework narrowing entirely. Unlikely that this will

happen, mainly because it is working in Emacs and so does not

bother me personally so much. Anyway, I don't know if people are

actually using narrowing very much at all.

<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Can I make the exporter more efficient?<br/>

The line-by-line processing may not be the fastest way to do

|
|
Tab-separated export of tables, so right now I don't really see

the benefit of adding CSV export. Are there applications that do

not understand tab-separated files, but do understand

Here is some information about priorities, which is not yet

documented.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Priorities<br/>
|
|
<pre> TODO entries: 1 or 1,2,...
|
|
DEADLINE is 10-ddays, i.e. it is 10 on the due day
|
|
i.e. it goes above top todo stuff 7 days
|
|
before due
|
|
SCHEDULED is 5-ddays, i.e. it is 5 on the due date
|
|
i.e. it goes above top todo on the due day
|
|
TIMESTAMP is 0 i.e. always at bottom
|
|
but as a deadline it is 100
|
|
but if scheduled it is 99
|
|
TIMERANGE is 0 i.e. always at bottom
|
|
DIARY is 0 i.e. always at bottom
|

<li><span class="todo">INCONSISTENCY</span>: items don't grow/shrink due to promotion.<br/>
|
|
In plain lists, multiple demote/promote commands executed directly
|
|
after each other don't change the scope of the command - the
|
|
initially selected text continues to be selected. This is
|
|
inconsistent with the behavior of outline sections, were the subtree
|
|
for promotion/demotion is newly defined after each command. Which
|
|
convention is better? Should this be consistent between trees and
|
|
plain lists?

<li><span class="todo">QUESTION</span> grep on directory does not yet work.<br/>
|

I am actually not sure, I might have addressed this already, but
|

my memory is failing me. Needs some checking.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> HAVE a TIME 3:55 line collecting CLOCK results<br/>
|
|
The CLOCK lines could be there in addition, or could even be
|
|
removed, so that only one line is kept.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Think about Piotr's idea of treating TODO like a TAG.<br/>
|
|
The answer is probably NO because the simple part of TODO must
|
|
still be there and I like the keyword at the beginning of the line,
|
|
just like a checkbox. Of course you can make a TODO tag yourself
|
|
at any time.
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Inlining of external files<br/>
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Should TAB on TODO keyword rotate its state?<br/>
|
|
Problem: If the keyword disappears, it will suddenly start to fold….
|
|
So my feeling right now is that the answer should be NO.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
No, because S-left/right does this already pretty well
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><span class="todo">DECLINED</span> Create a DONE counter in the mode line<br/>
|
|
That counter shows what faction of entries has been marked DONE. I
|
|
am not yet sure how useful such a thing would be, because of the
|
|
huge number of entries that can be in a file, and the different
|
|
weight of such entries.
|
|
Declined because we do now have counters for checkboxes, and the
|
|
feeling is that this is not so useful for TODOs.

there is a bug when the setting is 'white: It requires a

|

Finally, when TAB closes an entry, maybe it should go beck to the

able to go back to the old place with just another tab.

|

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2006-06-06 Tue 10:17</span>) Radio TAGS for the fast tag interface.<br/>
|
|
Make lists of tags that are mutually exclusive. So when I turn on
|
|
@HOME, @WORK would be turned off automagically. A good syntax for
|
|
defining these groups in the #+TAGS line would be:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#+TAGS: [@WORK(w) @HOME(h) @CLUB(c)] Laptop(l) PC(p) Car(r)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
This could indicate that @WORK, @HOME, @CLUB are mutually exclusive.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If I do this, I will also need a syntax for the global alist to
|
|
indicate the same thing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It seems to me that with such grouping of tags, sorting would be
|
|
useful as it would improve the overview over the current tags. I
|
|
might even be able to support mutually exclusive tags with
|
|
fontification in the interface. Or arrange things such that the
|
|
mutually exclusive ones are all in the same row or column, to
|
|
optimize the visual feedback.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For the internal format, I think best would be something like
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
'( (:startgroup) ("@work") ("@home") ("@club") (:endgroup)
|
|
("Laptop") ("PC") ("Car"))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
This setup makes sure that assoc and rassoc still do work as
|
|
expected.

</li>
|
|
<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2006-06-06 Tue 10:17</span>) Should tags be sorted in a certain way?<br/>
|
|
Right now, you can either set the tag sequence yourself through
|
|
the completion interface. If you use the fast tag selection
|
|
interface, the tag sequence depends on the order in which tags are
|
|
selected and deselected. maybe a specific roder would be useful
|
|
for example the same order as the one given in the configuration?

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2006-06-11 Sun 07:32</span>) Track working times similar to time-clock.el<br/>

This was proposed by David O'Toole in an
|
|
<a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/387">email to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org</a>. He wants to be able to know the
|
|
times when he worked at a particular project. Some reporting
|
|
possibility would be needed to make this useful. Maybe sparse
|
|
trees with broken-down working times?

|

Programming the old outline-mode is really a nightmare - the new
|
|
outline mode that uses invisibility properties instead of
|
|
selective display works really much much better. There is now
|
|
an <a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/214/focus=218">experimental port</a> by Greg Chernov, so when I find time I will
|
|
try if this works well. If yes, this port should become part of
|
|
XEmacs. Once that happens, I could remove a large amount of
|
|
ballast from org.el

|
|
<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2006-09-25 Mon 16:11</span>) Allow counting checkboxes<br/>
|
|
Then some statistics should be displayed. One idea is for
|
|
checkboxes, to use a special box [%] which will be updated with
|
|
percent of done. I could have an alternative [/] that will be
|
|
updated with something like [19/25] to show progress, and when the
|
|
two numbers are equal, I could highlight then in DONE face, just
|
|
like [100%]. All smaller numbers could be highlighted even in
|
|
TODO face if I wanted. Hmmm, I am beginning to like this.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then: how to update this? Each time a checkbox is added or
|
|
toggled, go up and update all the counts, right up to something
|
|
which is not an item, or up to the previous header line.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Maybe I should also make an option for turning this on, to avoid
|
|
slowdown. I guess for long lists this could be slow.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Also would need a command for global update.
|
|
</p>

The first format requires better parsing of the messages (to get
|
|
both author and receiver names), and also
|
|
some way to detect if I am the author of this email or not.

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2007-02-21 Wed 12:04</span>) Allow internal links to match inside <b>other</b> link<br/>

</li>
|
|
<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2007-02-21 Wed 12:07</span>) Allow fully protected HTML code that will be exported as is<br/>
|
|
Currently, <…> works only for simple tags, and I think we
|
|
should have something better. Idea: Text between <protecthtml>
|
|
and </protecthtml>, mark it with a text property and then exclude
|
|
each match in the run preparing the export.
|
|
I guess I could require these at the beginning of the line, like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
or something like that…….

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2007-03-13 Tue 05:19</span>) Make it possible to set TOC levels independently of headline levels<br/>
|
|
The easiest way to do this would obviously be to allow a number
|
|
setting for the tco switch, not only a simple t/nil switch. This
|
|
can be nice for webpages: One could have only top-level or level
|
|
1 and 2 in the toc at the beginning of the page, and then still a
|
|
more complex structure below.

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2007-03-13 Tue 05:20</span>) Filling is not done in a compatible way.<br/>
|
|
The current setup used the Emacs variables and machine to get the
|
|
filling of plain lists and everything lese right. XEmacs uses the
|
|
filladapt package, which has different ways to do the same
|
|
things. org.el should be smart about this and setup filling under
|
|
XEmacs correctly.

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2007-06-06 Wed 17:44</span>) Repeating Schedules?<br/>
|
|
<a href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/149">Dieter Grollman</a> requested this feature, but for now I have decided
|
|
not to do anything about it. I don't see a good way to implement
|
|
this, and I believe that cyclic diary entries are good enough for
|
|
such tasks.

<li><span class="done">DONE</span>( <span class="timestamp">2007-06-14 Thu 13:20</span>) Conflict between bold emphasis and headlines<br/>
|
|
At the beginning of a line, Org-mode does not know if <b>bold</b> is a
|
|
headline or an emphasis. This will not be easy to fix. The way
|
|
to do ii is to require a space after the star in headlines. This
|
|
requires to change outline-regexp, outline-level, the many many
|
|
times when outline regexp is used in the program, and also the
|
|
countless times when I am simply matching th stars directly.

Even when org-agenda-remove-times-when-in-prefix is set, there

This ties in with the problem that there is no way to have

protected HTML code in the file.
