#+TITLE: Org-mode Frequently Asked Questions
|

|

* General
|
||||
** Use features in other modes
|
||||
*I would like to use editing features of org-mode in other modes, is
|
||||
this possible?*
|
||||
** Can I use editing features of org-mode in other modes?
|
||||
|
||||
Not really. For tables there is =orgtbl-mode= which implements the
|
||||
table editor as a minor mode. For other features you need to switch to
|
||||
Org-mode temporarily, or prepare text in a different buffer.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** Visibility cycling in Outline-mode and Outline-minor-mode
|
||||
|
||||
*Can I get the visibility-cycling features in outline-mode and
|
||||
outline-minor-mode?*
|
||||
** Can I get the visibility-cycling features in outline-mode and outline-minor-mode?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, these functions are written in a way that they are independent of
|
||||
the outline setup. The following setup provides standard Org-mode

|

outline-minor-mode, we use =C-TAB= instead of =TAB=,
|
||||
because =TAB= usually has mode-specific tasks.

Or check out /outline-magic.el/, which does this and also provides
|
||||
promotion and demotion functionality. /outline-magic.el/ is
|
||||
available at [[http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/OutlineMagic][Outline Magic]].
|
||||
|
||||
** How can I keep track of changes in my Org files?
|
||||
|
||||
Use git to track the history of the files, use a cronjob to check in
|
||||
changes regularly. Such a setup is described by Bernt Bernt Hansen
|
||||
in [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/6233][this message]] on [[http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode][emacs-orgmode]].
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** What is the difference between Org and TaskPaper?
|
||||
|
||||
There is really no difference. Org is as /simple/ as [[http://hogbaysoftware.com/products/taskpaper][TaskPaper]]. It
|
||||
is just that, when using Org within Emacs, it lets you do many things
|
||||
that you wouldn't be able to do with TaskPaper. Yes, TaskPaper is
|
||||
fiddle-proof and people using Emacs tends to like fiddling (which is
|
||||
orthogonal to the idea of using todo-list efficiently), but this is
|
||||
just a matter of discipline and common sense, not one of Org's design.
|
||||
|
||||
Read [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/6224][Carsten's enlightening statement]] on this.
|
||||
|
||||
** Can I use the remember buffer to clock a customer phone call?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, you can. Take a look at the [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5482][setup described by Bernt Hansen]]
|
||||
and check out (in the same thread) what Nick Docos had to fix to
|
||||
make Bernt's set-up work for him.
|
||||
|
||||
** Can I implement a GTD workflow with Org-mode?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, you can. Check for discussions and pointers [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-gtd-etc.org][here]].
|
||||
|
||||
** How can I cycle through the TODO keyword of an entry?
|
||||
|
||||
=C-c C-t= or =S-<left/right>= is what you need.
|
||||
|
||||
** How can I quickly set the tag of an entry?
|
||||
|
||||
Use =C-c C-c= on the headline.
|
||||
|
||||
** Can I select the TODO keywords with a tag-like interface?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. Use =(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)=
|
||||
|
||||
** Isearch does not find string hidden in links. What can I do?
|
||||
|
||||
M-x =visible-mode= will display the full link, making them searchable.
|
||||
|
||||
** C-k is killing whole subtrees! I lost my work!
|
||||
|
||||
=(setq org-special-ctrl-k t)= before losing your work.
|
||||
|
||||
** How can I set up automatic reminders based on Org information?
|
||||
|
||||
See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5271][this post]] by N. Dokos on the list.
|
||||
|
||||
** Is there a good way to create a description list?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, thes are now built-in:
|
||||
|
||||
#+begin_example
|
||||
- item1 :: Description of this item 1
|
||||
- item2 :: Description of this item 2
|
||||
- item1 :: Description of this item 3
|
||||
also in multiple lines
|
||||
#+end_example
|
||||
|
||||
** I want to add my Org scheoduled/deadlined entries in my diary!
|
||||
|
||||
Put this in your ~/.diary:
|
||||
|
||||
:&%%(org-diary :scheduled :timestamp :deadline)
|
||||
|
||||
** How can I make =appt= notice my Org appointments?
|
||||
|
||||
:M-x org-agenda-to-appt RET
|
||||
|
||||
** How do I track state changes for tasks in Org?
|
||||
|
||||
Take a look at the [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/6082][post by Bernt Hansen]] for setting up TODO keyword
|
||||
states and logging timestamps for task state changes.
|
||||
|
||||
** Can I send myself an email containing tasks or other agenda info?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/6112][this thread]] on the list.
