OK, great idea. I tried by myself (Elisp noob) and failed: see code below. The code evaluates without complaining but when I use the function, I get asked for a property which gets also correctly written to the property. However, the completion of the property does not work. I'm sure, it's only a small error of mine. Thanks for your help here! ;; version that tries to read only properties of current entry: (defun org-read-entry-property-name () "Read a property name from the current entry (basically a rewrite of org-read-property-name which uses org-entry-properties instead to speed up)" (let ((completion-ignore-case t) (default-prop (or (and (org-at-property-p) (org-match-string-no-properties 2)) org-last-set-property))) (org-completing-read (concat "Property" (if default-prop (concat " [" default-prop "]") "") ": ") ;; ORIGINAL LINE: (mapcar #'list (org-buffer-property-keys nil t t)) (mapcar #'list (org-entry-properties nil nil)) nil nil nil nil default-prop))) (defun my-org-region-to-property (&optional property) (interactive) ;; if no region is defined, do nothing (if (use-region-p) ;; if a region string is found, ask for a property and set property to ;; the string in the region (let ((val (replace-regexp-in-string "\\`[ \t\n]*" "" (replace-regexp-in-string "[ \t\n]*\\'" "" (substring (buffer-string) (- (region-beginning) 1) (region-end)))) ) ;; if none was stated by user, read property from user (prop (or property (org-read-entry-property-name)))) ;; set property (org-set-property prop val)))) -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
