Instead of checking specifically that it’s in the TODO state, check that it’s in
any one of the first states (like TODO, or READ). If this is the case, switch it
from the current state to whatever the settings define as being the next
state (usually WIP or READING).
A lot of the time when capturing some task my cursor is at a random location and
it doesn’t actually mean what I’m looking at is at all related to what I’m
writing.
I think this will make me occasionally miss certain connections, but usually
will provide less noise.
Instead of using ‘auto-fill-mode’, start using ‘org-indent-mode’ and
‘visual-line-mode’. It looks the same, but without using any newlines and
indentation. It works well if combined with other tools like Orgzly which don’t
do any kind of indentation on their own.
The value of the variable ‘org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled’ causes it to ignore
any scheduled items that aren’t scheduled for today or in the past,
‘org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options’ makes the value of
‘org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled’ also apply to tag searches. Since I’ve
replaced my global todo list with a tag search, this is preferable.
I’m using the date as a kind-of header, calling ‘fill-paragraph’ doesn’t
understand that the date isn’t part of the paragraph. It also looks a little
cleaner in my opinion.
If there are 2 files name "Program.cs" open, for example, the simple
‘(get-buffer "Program.cs")’ won’t work. ‘find-file-noselect’ can work if we pass
in the full file path using the ‘%F’ format placeholder.
