Hi - org-mode is fantastic. Part of what makes it so awesome is that one can keep tweaking the software and the process. In looking at my own usage, I noticed that I really wanted to simplify my org-todo-keywords. I had a separate list of TODOs for projects (PROJ->PRST->DONE) and was wondering why I had to have that. Why couldn't I just get by with TODO->STARTED->DONE for everything, tasks and projects, and mark up projects with a tag.
You can see what I'm aiming for with this example. (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance '("project")) (setq org-todo-keywords '( (sequence "TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" "|" "DONE" "CNCL")) (setq org-stuck-projects '("project/STARTED" ("TODO" "WAITING" "STARTED") nil "")) * STARTED Stuck project :project: ** DONE This was done * STARTED Not stuck project :project: ** TODO Next project C-a # won't show "Stuck Project". That's because the project line's "STARTED" is found in org-agenda-skip via the org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree. I really want it to be org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-ONLY-matches-in-subtree. To do that, I hacked up the function to capture a "begin" point after the headline. (defun org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree () "Checks if the current subtree contains match for `org-agenda-skip-regexp'. If yes, it returns the end position of the current entry (NOT the tree), causing agenda commands to skip the entry but continuing the search in the subtree. This is a function that can be put into `org-agenda-skip-function' for the duration of a command. An important use of this function is for the stuck project list." (let ((begin (save-excursion (org-end-of-line) (1- (point)))) (end (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t))) (entry-end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (1- (point)))) skip) (save-excursion (goto-char begin) (setq skip (re-search-forward org-agenda-skip-regexp end t))) (and skip entry-end))) If this change is too radical, it might make sense to modify org-agenda-list-stuck-projects to let the user define the skip function via an element in org-stuck-projects. I'm thinking something like this... (let* ((org-agenda-skip-function (or (nth 4 org-stuck-projects) 'org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree)) That would enable everyone to control the org-agenda-skip-function. -Eric _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
