org-mode

I'm trying to learn org-mode and noticed my files are folded neatly when I exit emacs. When pressing S-TAB in an attempt to unfold the entire file, I get the following error message in the mini-buffer: M-[ z is undefined . Googling the error wasn't helpful. Any idea where the hiccup is occurring and how I might fix it? I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Terminal.app, GNU Emacs 23.2.1. Edit: I can confirm now that the problem is Terminal.app. I do not receive this error message using Carbon Emacs or when using Emacs from within iTerm.app. Thanks to Gilles for patiently walking me through a solution

In Emacs, I have a set of TODOs in the following format * H1 ** H2 *** H3 **** TODO X When I look at the agenda-todo view, it shows up only as TODO x . Is there any way to get the agenda view to display it as H1/H2/H3/TODO X ? I found this solution from here (setq org-agenda-prefix-format '((agenda . " %i %-12:c%?-12t% s") (timeline . " % s") (todo . " %i %-12:c %(concat \"[ \"(org-format-outline-path (org-get-outline-path)) \" ]\") ") (tags . " %i %-12:c %(concat \"[ \"(org-format-outline-path (org-get-outline-path)) \" ]\") ") (search . " %i %-12:c")) ) This shows the breadcrumbs in the

I have some trouble in using org-mode. I want create a table in org-mode like this: | operator | use | |----------+-------------| | | | expr | expr | but when I press TAB, the table changed like this: | operator | use | | | |----------+-----+------+------| | | | expr | expr |. How to avoid it? To insert a vertical bar into a table field, use \vert or, inside a word abc\vert{}def. Source: Org-mode manual: The built-in table editor . If \vert is not automatically converted to | , call org-toggle-pretty-entities , per: C-c C-x \ Toggle display of entities as UTF-8 characters. This does not change

I would like to use Ctrl + Tab in EMACS for my own use, but Emacs org mode already has this bound. How can I use my own binding instead of the org-mode binding. In my .emacs file I use: (global-set-key (kbd "<C-tab>") 'switch-view ) and it works everywhere except in org-mode paprika The key binding you describe is defined in org.el like this: (org-defkey org-mode-map [(control tab)] 'org-force-cycle-archived) This means that it is only valid in org-mode-map , one of org-mode's local keymaps. The following code adds a hook that is run when org-mode starts. It simply removes that key binding

I would like to use org-mode not with a GTD-like system but rather as a planner/scheduler, scheduling/timestamping every captured task on capture or refile. In such a system, detailed planning of a day including specific frames of times according to the estimated duration a task will take to get done, might be advantageous. Would it be possible to generate a time frame from an existing effort estimate property when a timestamp is created? This would mean that, when a) scheduling is called and b) I enter not only a date but also a time and c) an effort property exists, this time will

In the emacs org agenda view(today), I schedule some tasks with the <scheduled date> . But now I want to remove the <scheduled date> single task or mutli tasks together. (Don't want to schedule them to the other day). Now I have to <TAB> each tasks, and delete the <scheduled date> line. Is there any quick key (speed key?) to do it? tl;dr : In the agenda, m on all these tasks, then C-u B s . This called for quite a bit of searching, but org-mode is powerful. According to the manual , C-c C-s (org-schedule) When called with a prefix argument, remove the scheduling date from the entry. and, in
