Of course! Hence the double quotes and the indentation. 

It is actually a quote from the Whiplash movie. It illustrates how
unwelcoming can a given community be. This was obviously not addressed
to you. I'm sorry you thought otherwise.

You ought to read the documentation from within Emacs:

  (info "(org) Top")

It is adapted to the Org version you're using.

[O] Capture template 'C': nil

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with a capture template called from org-protocol,
both with old and new style links.

Here is the template

  ("C" "capture CWN through org protocol" item (file "next-cwn.org")
   "- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

When I use it on a page, it directly adds the entry to the file, without
going through the capture interface, and it adds an extra %? in the
text. For instance, using it on http://orgmode.org/ I get

- %?Org mode for Emacs – Your Life in Plain Text
  http://orgmode.org/

In the *Messages* buffer I see this:

Greedy org-protocol handler.  Killing client.
No server editing buffers exist
Capture template ‘C’: nil

Is this a bug, or a misconfiguration on my side?

Thanks,

Alan

Thank you for the pointer. Although I don't think I ever used a teletypewriter 
in my life :) Maybe sometimes in the 21st century we'll have to think about a 
change in terminology...

I use the compact manual as a reference for my uses and I find it extremely 
useful for beginners. Would it be possible to insert a few line on that subject 
in there too? Something like "People who use org-mode in a tty terminal should 
refer to section 15.9 of the manual for alternative key bindings."

The alternative to M-S-RET is C-c C-x M = C-c C-x S-m

Why set an alternative like this when ESC RET S- does exactly the 
same thing and is way shorter/more practical ?

> See also `org-replace-disputed-keys'.

After looking at the "big" manual, I found about speed keys which seem to be a 
much more pragmatic approach to sorting that gui/tty key issue in org-mode. But 
except for a small paragraph and a few items in the tty section I could not 
find any reference to them, and nothing at all in the compact manual.

So, I have a few suggestions to improve that part of the documentation:
1) add a list of preset keys in the manual
2) add a line about speed keys in the compact guide

That's something I could do if the idea is accepted.

Jean-Christophe 

ps: section C3 of the manual has this line about Sacha Chua: "Sacha Chua 
suggested copying some linking code from Planner, and helped make Org pupular 
through her blog." It should be "popular" not "pupular".

"practical" is in the eye of the beholder. 

For example, I can type "C-c C-x M" without moving my hands out of the
home row. Both ESC and right arrow require me to quit that position.
I prefer the first one without an hesitation.

Try to use ‘entry’ instead of ‘item’

 ("C" "capture CWN through org protocol" entry (file "next-cwn.org")
  "- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

“C” is usually bound to “Customise org-capture-templates”. Probably it’s better 
to choose another key.

In the next step you will probably get an error:  org-capture: Capture template 
‘i’: Template is not a valid Org entry or tree

To avoid that make the entry a tree:

 (“c" "capture CWN through org protocol" entry (file "next-cwn.org")
  “* %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

[O] capture templates and ^{prompt}

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I'm looking for a way to use the string acquired by prompt in a second location 
in the template, like:

* TODO %^{prompt} [/] :sometag:\n** TODO (value of ^{prompt} comes here) 
:someothertag:\n

What's the best way to get that "value of ^{prompt}" ?

Jean-Christophe 

Re: [O] capture templates and ^{prompt}

[numbch...@gmail.com]

Check out the docstring of variable `org-capture-templates`.
There is a doc like this:
```
%\1 ... %\N Insert the text entered at the nth %^{prompt}, where N
  is a number, starting from 1.
```
Maybe this is what you want?

Re: [O] keybindings again...

[Michael Ax]

Also $ xmodmap  .. if you should see an empty row in the output,
and a whole bunch of things clustered on the last line, then ..

write an ~/.Xmodmap to free up caps-lock and to have it act as the 
Hyper_L key.
two more lines move that modifier into the free row and you get an easy 
to hit

 on activation via $ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

With a US keyboard you might need to create that file, otherwise just add:

clear Lock
keycode 66 = Hyper_L
remove mod4 = Hyper_L
add mod3 = Hyper_L

I never worked out how to do this in the terminal as emacs is unusable 
in the
terminal on my debians (since i can remember; i use zile there 
instead).  one

could maybe make Hyper work outside X via /etc/console-setup/ [remap.inc]

p.s. C-x h  is your friend. you can not bind H-S-n, but you can bind H-N 
(for example)

$ xev  also shows the limits of what you can and can't bind.

iac, Caps-lock Enter is refreshingly easy to hit.   hope this helps!

[O] Android sync client

[Gour]

Hello,

I've tried for some time to use Taskwarrior due to potentially working
Android client, but recently it stopped working and, moreover,
orgmode's recurring capabilities are simple superior in comparison
with Taskwarrior's, so I'm back to orgmode...

Now, I wonder which syncing client can you recommend for Android
phones?

I see there is mobile/sync-org as well as Orgzly...the client does not
have to have all the bells and whistles, but just being able to
reliable sync with my desktop (Fedora) without using Dropbox (for my
clients/contacts I use Baikal).


Sincerely,
Gour

I was probably to quick by changing ‘item’ to ‘entry’.

I tried your template once again. And it turned out that the file must be 
existent.

("c" "capture CWN through org protocol" item (file 
"~/org/notes.org")
"- %?%:description\n  %:link\n\n")

Does work for me. So giving a path to file might help.

[O] Info info info

[Michael Ax]

$ cat /usr/share/info/dir|grep "\*"|wc -l   = 309

I got past the cruel joke that was the garbled mess called the info dir 
on debian.
I integrated the non-free files and those for userland and kernel things 
from places I don't even remember.
I appreciate the steam-powered look and hackishness involved in 
maintaining info dir pages.


And I want to read my org files like the way i can read info files.
I want to see a screen-full of headings and material at a ][ time
and drop to org when i press enter on a line.

Following via The Agenda is great. But for many many things I would much 
prefer a colorful info-like view,
where zooming/drilling down happens as part of navigation and we ignore 
indices and bibs.


Is there a solution?

That's certainly something to add to the documentation:

%\1 ... %\N Insert the text entered at the Nth %^{prompt}, where N is a 
number, starting from 1.

Are there cases where %\1 ... %\N would be used *outside* of a string in a 
template?

I'm having the same problem (see the thread "Capture template 'C':
nil"), also with an "item" template. I suspect there is a bug in that
specific case (since "entry" template works fine) where one must
specify the full path of the file.

The really surprising thing is that org actually finds the file (there
is text appended to it).

Thank you for testing. There is another thread where someone has the

I created a pretty short documentation of org-protocol. It’s still mainly

It might be an idea to link to the old documentation at worg. 

I know that it is far away of an ideal documentation but better than what we

Can you provide with an example on how `eval' can lead to trouble

Yes, but unless we fix a realistic bug, not bothering the user with

Hi,

with Org mode version 9.0.8 (9.0.8-elpaplus @
/home/loris/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20170606/) and GNU Emacs
25.1.1, org-copy-visible does not work as I expect.

Given

* Org copy visible
** Bits
and bobs

if I fold to 

* Org copy visible
** Bits...

mark the visible two lines, do org-copy-visible, yank into another
buffer, I get 

* Org copy visible
** Bits
and bobs

in the second buffer instead of just the two headlines.

Is that a bug or am I doing/expecting the wrong thing?

Unimportant to the rest of this issue, but that commit only started
generating doc/org-version.tex.  The generation of doc/org-version.inc
wasn't modified.

I'm guessing that I should rewrite the command in a more portable way.
Not sure what that is offhand.

you know what i mean, yes?

[O] org-tags-column 'portability'

[Michael Ax]

org-tags-column usually does the right thing.

i have it set to -65 and that works great in portrait mode.
i'd like it be sticky (sometimes), that is, to chop of and dominate 
headlines and never get moved.
i'd like it to be width rather than position based so that it works with 
chinese and proportional fonts also.
and i'd like to specify its position from the rh instead of the left 
hand side so it'll just work on ssh/tablet or landscape/notebook.


the more generic problem is of course that i'd like to code in 
http://input.fontbureau.com/info/
and that my favorite editor does not support width based tabs or keeping 
same line comments vertically aligned.


its a bit overwhelming for me to do, does anyone have a tip/snippet/link
or a fix on how to teach the tags these tricks?  is this in fact a bug??

thanks for pondering! m

Re: [O] BUG: ox-latex export pdf options issue

[Robert Klein]

Please disregard this.  \hypersetup works as it is.

I had a +text+ title which put a \sout{} in the pdftitle.  That caused a
error message about too many }'s from the pdflatex.  This I mistook to
mean the closing brace of \hypersetup.

Sorry about the fuss.

Best regards,
Robert

[O] advising org-open

[Michael Ax]

0:50am monday i get a new weekly org template linked to the prior week.
my org-link-frame-setup contains 'open-file' and that allows me to click 
through the past.


sometimes i want open-file-in-other-window, sometimes in another frame.
neither the prefix argument nor modifier keys seem to carry forward to 
other openers


i'm wondering how to properly extend org so that the file and other 
openers could be made choose-able
or if there is such functionality packaged and out there already. thanks 
for your pointers!  -m

I just copied what was in the *Messages* buffer. I tried the sequence

C-c C-e C-b h H

to get HTML, but I got that error.

Interestingly, this worked with the same file on a desktop Mac I have. I
thought perhaps the state of emacs had somehow gotten changed, but
exiting emacs and re-starting did not help.

I can copy in emacs. I guess this is more of a vSSH question ... how can
I copy to the iPad clipboard so I can paste into another app.

[O] [Chris Kauffman] Re: include org-table-move-single-cell.el in org mode

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I found swapping of cells very useful and came across some code written
by Chris Kauffman, which proved to be very helpful and considerably
shorted by workflow. 

https://cs.gmu.edu/~kauffman/software/org-table-move-single-cell.el


Chris agreed that his code could be included in the orgmode repo,  I
have attached his mail.

I recommend strongly to do that .

Regards

FWIW I haven't had any luck reproducing this.  I've tried using Org's
release_9.0.8 tag, the maint branch, and the master branch (all with
Emacs 25.2).  Just the visible parts are copied in all cases.

Perhaps stepping through org-copy-visible would help you see what's
happening.

I have been using this[1] for the last year and a half and it works pretty
awesome. You would need to install the hydra package. The examples in the
comments pretty much describes your use case.

How to use the below:

1. Install the hydra package.
2. Evaluate the below code.
3. In an org buffer, select some text.
4. Press " (point) (mark))
(exchange-point-and-mark))
  ;; Insert a newline if `beg' is *not* at beginning of the line.
  ;; Example: You have ^abc$ where ^ is bol and $ is eol.
  ;;  "bc" is selected and https://github.com/kaushalmodi/.emacs.d/blob/4495b6126ddeb20959d438dbe2ad9de50e5ed336/setup-files/setup-org.el#L684-L1229

You have the classic case of mixed Org installations, would be my guess.

I haven't seen this issue myself but it's a well-known issue with mixed Org
installations.

Best way that I have seen to work is to delete (M)Elpa installed Org
completely and install it again, but in an emacs -Q session, or do C-u M-x
org-reload, and then delete->reinstall Org.

Aha! I think you've hit the nail on the head.

I'm not sure how this happened, but org-reload does seem to correct the problem.

Thank you, Kaushal!

That's not the default behavior. You probably have some

Aha.. ran into this last night also, discovering then that i had both 
(require 'org) AND (require 'org-plus-contrib) in use, breaking capture.
(rewriting my init to use-package while zapping elpa a few times really 
helped get some kinks out which sped up loading too)


maybe one day either package could recognize when the other is loaded 
and complain?



I'm not sure how this happened, but org-reload does seem to correct the problem.

Thank you, Kaushal!

In computers, but also in just any brand of
engineering (and other areas as well), there
are tons of cases when terminology is either
outdated or just plain wrong. When there is
a correct term, as in "chainwheel" or
"sprocket" as opposed to "cog" (which is
incorrect, as it isn't a cod), it is good to
know about the correct terms and use them
whenever, but it is equally necessary to know
about the incorrect term. You will find
respectable books when they refer to a sprocket
as a "cog" without blinking! And know what,
that book is healthy for you to
read nonetheless!

So in most cases it is better to use the
correct term in parallel and if the technically
incorrect one dies, good, if it survives, so
be it.

Another example: There were once a newsreader
called GNUS. When a new newsreader came, and
they thought of calling it "ding" as in "ding
is not GNUS". Clever, but it didn't take.
So now it is Gnus who isn't GNUS. But it is -
only better :)

As for the ttys they are also called "the
console" or "the Linux virtual terminals" (the
Linux VTs). All those are designations are fine
and at least "tty" and "console" are also part
of technology by now: e.g., I just mentioned
the file /etc/console-setup/remap.inc in
another post; as for "tty", do

$ ls /dev/ | grep tty

Bigger always better :)

[O] org babel, ess, R

[Vikas Rawal]

When I press C-c' in an R code block to open an edit buffer with ess, on my
computer, it splits the screen into two side-by-side windows, with the new
window on the right showing the edit buffer, and the window on the left
showing the original file.

I would like to change this behaviour in two ways.

1. I would like the window that continues to show the original file to
instead show the R session in which lines from the edit buffer can be
evaluated. I can manually change the buffer in this window to show me the R
session but I was wondering if this can be the default behaviour.

2. Split the screen horizontally rather than vertically, so that the new
window (with edit buffer) is on the top and the second window is below. I
could live with the edit buffer being at the bottom also but would
certainly prefer seeing it above so that I have the R session in the window
below to which I send the evaluated lines one by one.

Does anyone know if it may already be possible to achieve this? Or am I
making a feature request?

I can change the direction of split by adjusting split-width-threshold

So, item 2 is more or less resolved (the edit buffer is at the bottom, but that 
is okay).
