As I include .todo-do in diary and start calendar ;; at startup of emacs, the mode indicator of .todo-do will ;; make emacs fail, unless the following is defined:" ;; ;; (autoload 'todo-mode "todo-mode" ;; "Major mode for editing TODO lists." t) ;; ;; You may now enter new items by typing "M-x todo-insert-item", ;; or enter your TODO list file by typing "M-x todo-show". ;; ;; The TODO list file has a special format and some auxiliary ;; information, which will be added by the todo-show function if ;; it attempts to visit an un-initialised file. Hence it is ;; recommended to use the todo-show function for the first time, ;; in order to initialise the file, but it is not necessary ;; afterwards. ;; ;; As these commands are quite long to type, I would recommend ;; the addition of two bindings to your to your global keymap. I ;; personally have the following in my initialisation file: ;; ;; (global-set-key "\C-ct" 'todo-show) ;; switch to TODO buffer ;; (global-set-key "\C-ci" 'todo-insert-item) ;; insert new item ;; ;; Note, however, that this recommendation has prompted some ;; criticism, since the keys C-c LETTER are reserved for user ;; functions. I believe my recommendation is acceptable, since ;; the Emacs Lisp Manual *Tips* section also details that the ;; mode itself should not bind any functions to those keys. The ;; express aim of the above two bindings is to work outside the ;; mode, which doesn't need the show function and offers a ;; different binding for the insert function. They serve as ;; shortcuts and are not even needed (since the TODO mode will be ;; entered by visiting the TODO file, and later by switching to ;; its buffer). ;; ;; Version ;; ;; Which version of todo-mode.el does this documentation refer to? ;; ;; $Id: todo-mode.el,v 1.21 1997/10/18 13:31:40 os10000 Exp $ ;; ;; Pre-Requisites ;; ;; This package will require the following packages to be ;; available on the load-path: ;; ;; time-stamp ;; easymenu ;; ;; Mode Description ;; ;; TODO is a major mode for EMACS which offers functionality to ;; treat most lines in one buffer as a list of items one has to ;; do. There are facilities to add new items, which are ;; categorised, to edit or even delete items from the buffer. ;; The buffer contents are currently compatible with the diary, ;; so that the list of todo-items will show up in the FANCY diary ;; mode. ;; ;; Notice: Besides the major mode, this file also exports the ;; function "todo-show" which will change to the one specific ;; TODO file that has been specified in the todo-file-do ;; variable. If this file does not conform to the TODO mode ;; conventions, the todo-show function will add the appropriate ;; header and footer. I don't anticipate this to cause much ;; grief, but be warned, in case you attempt to read a plain text ;; file. ;; ;; Operation ;; ;; You will have the following facilities available: ;; ;; M-x todo-show will enter the todo list screen, here type ;; ;; + to go to next category ;; - to go to previous category ;; d to file the current entry, including a ;; comment and timestamp ;; e to edit the current entry ;; f to file the current entry, including a ;; comment and timestamp ;; i to insert a new entry ;; j jump to category ;; k to kill the current entry ;; l to lower the current entry's priority ;; n for the next entry ;; p for the previous entry ;; P print ;; q to save the list and exit the buffer ;; r to raise the current entry's priority ;; s to save the list ;; t show top priority items for each category ;; ;; When you add a new entry, you are asked for the text and then ;; for the category. I for example have categories for things ;; that I want to do in the office (like mail my mum), that I ;; want to do in town (like buy cornflakes) and things I want to ;; do at home (move my suitcases). The categories can be ;; selected with the cursor keys and if you type in the name of a ;; category which didn't exist before, an empty category of the ;; desired name will be added and filled with the new entry. ;; ;; Configuration ;; ;; Variable todo-prefix ;; ;; I would like to recommend that you use the prefix "*/*" (by ;; leaving the variable 'todo-prefix' untouched) so that the ;; diary displays each entry every day. ;; ;; To understand what I mean, please read the documentation that ;; goes with the calendar since that will tell you how you can ;; set up the fancy diary display and use the #include command to ;; include your todo list file as part of your diary. ;; ;; If you have the diary package set up to usually display more ;; than one day's entries at once, consider using ;; ;; "&%%(equal (calendar-current-date) date)" ;; ;; as the value of `todo-prefix'. Please note that this may slow ;; down the processing of your diary file some. ;; ;; Variable todo-file-do ;; ;; This variable is fairly self-explanatory. You have to store ;; your TODO list somewhere. This variable tells the package ;; where to go and find this file. ;; ;; Variable todo-file-done ;; ;; Even when you're done, you may wish to retain the entries. ;; Given that they're timestamped and you are offered to add a ;; comment, this can make a useful diary of past events. It will ;; even blend in with the EMACS diary package. So anyway, this ;; variable holds the name of the file for the filed todo-items. ;; ;; Variable todo-mode-hook ;; ;; Just like other modes, too, this mode offers to call your ;; functions before it goes about its business. This variable ;; will be inspected for any functions you may wish to have ;; called once the other TODO mode preparations have been ;; completed. ;; ;; Variable todo-insert-threshold ;; ;; Another nifty feature is the insertion accuracy. If you have ;; 8 items in your TODO list, then you may get asked 4 questions ;; by the binary insertion algorithm. However, you may not ;; really have a need for such accurate priorities amongst your ;; TODO items. If you now think about the binary insertion ;; halfing the size of the window each time, then the threshhold ;; is the window size at which it will stop. If you set the ;; threshhold to zero, the upper and lower bound will coincide at ;; the end of the loop and you will insert your item just before ;; that point. If you set the threshhold to i.e. 8, it will stop ;; as soon as the window size drops below that amount and will ;; insert the item in the approximate centre of that window. I ;; got the idea for this feature after reading a very helpful ;; e-mail reply from Trey Jackson who ;; corrected some of my awful coding and pointed me towards some ;; good reading. Thanks Trey! ;; ;; Things to do ;; ;; These originally were my ideas, but now also include all the ;; suggestions that I included before forgetting them: ;; ;; o Automatic save of top-priorities to file, for inclusion in ;; .diary, at save of .todo-do, ref. automatic save of .bbdb ;; in gnus ;; o Fancy fonts for todo/top-priority buffer ;; o Remove todo-prefix option in todo-top-priorities ;; o Rename category ;; o Move entry from one category to another one ;; o Entries which both have the generic */* prefix and a ;; "deadline" entry which are understood by diary, indicating ;; an event (unless marked by &) ;; o The optional COUNT variable of todo-forward-item should be ;; applied to the other functions performing similar tasks ;; o Modularization could be done for repeaded elements of ;; the code, like the completing-read lines of code. ;; o license / version function ;; o export to diary file ;; o todo-report-bug ;; o GNATS support ;; o elide multiline (as in bbdb, or, to a lesser degree, in ;; outline mode) ;; o rewrite complete package to store data as lisp objects ;; and have display modes for display, for diary export, ;; etc. (Richard Stallman pointed out this is a bad idea) ;; o so base todo-mode.el on generic-mode.el instead ;; ;; History and Gossip ;; ;; Many thanks to all the ones who have contributed to the ;; evolution of this package!
