Hi,
I tried to implement function for adding a new todo item to an org-file.
Let's say there is a org-file:
=====
* Project 1
** Small Tasks of project 1
###-PROJECT1-###
*** a task no.1
DEADLINE:....
...
=====
If I am in agenda-view and press "I" key, it will insert new task
after the "###-PROJECT1-###" string with deadline or schedule for
given day:
=====
* Project 1
** Small Tasks of project 1
###-PROJECT1-###
*** TODO (cursor here)
DEADLINE: ....
*** a task no.1
DEADLINE:....
...
=====
It is similar for "i" key (org-self-insert-command). So, after
pressing of "I" key, it will ask for schedule or deadline and
afterwards for task-group according to a configuration (see attachment).
Am not so familiar with org-mode, so this is just pilot version with
lot of drawbacks. For example it will not insert new task, if file
is in OVERVIEW presentation.
If some find it useful, I advice to add it to official package. But
of course with better implementation. Can you have a look and
explain me how to do it better?
Thank you in advance,
Juraj
