Org-Mode Literate Config

attachments/workspace.png

The goal of my config is to keep the configuration distraction free, and focus on functionality over looks. If you are curious to see my notes and task repo, feel free to check out -> nmartin84/org-notes. Or you can checkout my published github pages -> nmartin84.github.io.

Copy property value to kill-ring

Often times I will need to copy a property value from a task headline, and return its contents to the kill-ring. This function will enable you to do just that.

(defun nm/return-entry-property-names ()
  "Returns a list of property names excluding the DEFAULT org-mode property names."
  (let ((my-list (org-entry-properties))
        (temp-list nil)
        (discard-list '("ITEM" "PRIORITY" "FILE" "BLOCKED")))
    (dolist (i my-list) (push (car i) temp-list))
    (dolist (i discard-list) (setq temp-list (remove i temp-list)))
    temp-list))
(nm/return-entry-property-names)

(defun nm/return-entry-property-value-kill-ring ()
  "Returns a list of properties for the current headline and inserts the contents to the kill ring."
  (interactive)
  (let* ((choice (ivy-completing-read "entry: " (nm/return-entry-property-names)))
        (results (org-entry-get nil choice)))
    (kill-new results)
    (message (format "'%s' was copied to kill-ring" results))))

(map! :after org
      :map org-mode-map
      :leader
      :prefix ("z" . "nicks functions")
      :desc "Copy property value to kill-ring" "x" #'nm/return-entry-property-value-kill-ring)

Classification System

For some time now, i’ve been wanting to build a classification system for task items, to help structure context of a headline with a template of property fields that one would associate with that classifier. For example with books, when you are defining your new book organization you typically associate a book header with the following properties: Author, Subject, Year and maybe a few other things.

When you are building something like this out, it can become difficult or tideous to define those new items each time. So I have been giving some thought is a way to put a template around those items that remain original to org-mode and does not interfere.

(defun nm/return-entry-property-names ()
  "Returns a list of property names excluding the DEFAULT org-mode property names."
  (let ((my-list (org-entry-properties))
        (temp-list nil)
        (discard-list '("ITEM" "PRIORITY" "FILE" "BLOCKED")))
    (dolist (i my-list) (push (car i) temp-list))
    (dolist (i discard-list) (setq temp-list (remove i temp-list)))
    temp-list))
(nm/return-entry-property-names)

(defun nm/return-entry-property-value-kill-ring ()
  "Returns a list of properties for the current headline and inserts the contents to the kill ring."
  (interactive)
  (let ((choice (ivy-completing-read "entry: " (nm/return-entry-property-names))))
    (kill-new (org-entry-get nil choice))))
(defun nm/org-clarify-properties ()
  "Clarify properties for task."
  (interactive)
  (let ((my-list nm/org-clarify-templates)
        (my-temp nil))
    (dolist (i my-list) (push (car i) my-temp))
    (dolist (i (cdr (assoc (ivy-completing-read "template: " my-temp) nm/org-clarify-templates))) (org-entry-put nil i (ivy-completing-read (format "%s: " i) (delete-dups (org-map-entries (org-entry-get nil i nil) nil 'file)))))))

(setq nm/org-clarify-templates '(("book" "AUTHOR" "YEAR" "SOURCE")
                                 ("online" "SOURCE" "SITE" "AUTHOR")

                                 ("article" "SOURCE" "SITE" "SUBJECT")))

(unless (ivy-completing-read "select: " '("Something"))
  (error "no output"))

Bullet Journal

New capture template system that integrated the idea of a bullet journal for task and note taking.

(defun nm/capture-bullet-journal ()
  "Finds bullet journal headline to nest capture headline under."
  (let* ((date (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %a")))
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (unless (re-search-forward (format "^*+\s%s" date) nil t)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (insert (format "* %s %s" date "[/]")))))

Org-Agenda Functions for Condition checks

So another pain point has been maintaining my task items. So i’m always looking for ways to tweak or adjust how I can automate or simply task management, and my agenda setup. So this next piece adds some functions to run condition checks for tasks that are in a NEXT state, or a Inbox or waiting to be defined state.

For this piece, i’ve used bits and pieces from Doc Norang’s org-helper.el. The idea is to mimic the GTD methodology from the org-agenda view so all aspects of it can be controled from the agenda.

(defun nm/skip-non-stuck-projects ()
  "Skip trees that are not stuck projects."
  (save-restriction
    (widen)
    (let ((next-headline (save-excursion (outline-next-heading))))
      (if (bh/is-project-p)
          (let* ((subtree-end (org-end-of-subtree t))
                 (has-next))
            (save-excursion
              (forward-line 1)
              (while (and (not has-next) (< (point) subtree-end) (and (not (bh/is-project-p)) (nm/has-next-condition)))
                (unless (member (or "WAITING" "SOMEDAY") (org-get-tags-at))
                  (setq has-next t))))
            (if has-next
                next-headline
              nil))
        next-headline))))
(defun nm/project-tasks-ready ()
  "Skip trees that are not projects"
      (let ((next-headline (save-excursion (outline-next-heading)))
            (subtree-end (org-end-of-subtree t)))
        (if (nm/skip-non-stuck-projects)
            (cond
             ((and (bh/is-project-subtree-p) (nm/has-next-condition)) nil)
             (t subtree-end))
          subtree-end)))

(defun nm/has-next-condition ()
  "Returns t if headline has next condition state"
  (save-excursion
    (cond
     ((nm/is-scheduled-p) t)
     ((nm/exist-context-tag-p) t)
     ((nm/checkbox-active-exist-p) t))))

Great, so that takes care of my project tasks that are ready to be worked, now I need something for standalone tasks.

(defun nm/standard-tasks-ready ()
  "Show non-project tasks. Skip project and sub-project tasks, habits, and project related tasks."
  (save-restriction
    (widen)
    (let* ((subtree-end (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t)))
           (next-headline (save-excursion (or (outline-next-heading) (point-max)))))
      (cond
       ((bh/is-project-p) next-headline)
       ((bh/is-project-subtree-p) next-headline)
       ((and (bh/is-task-p) (not (nm/has-next-condition))) subtree-end)
       (t nil)))))

For project tasks that are stuck:

(defun nm/stuck-projects ()
  "Returns t when a project has no defined next actions for any of its subtasks."
  (let ((next-headline (save-excursion (outline-next-heading)))
        (subtree-end (org-end-of-subtree t)))
    (if (or (bh/is-project-p) (bh/is-project-subtree-p))
        (cond
         ((and (bh/is-project-subtree-p) (not (nm/has-next-condition))) nil))
      subtree-end)))

For tasks that are ready to be refiled:

(defun nm/tasks-refile ()
  "Returns t if the task is not part of a project and has no next state conditions."
  (let* ((subtree-end (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t)))
         (next-heading (save-excursion (outline-next-heading))))
    (cond
     ((nm/has-next-condition) next-heading)
     ((bh/is-project-p) subtree-end))))

Capturing to a Projects Timeframe

(defun nm/capture-project-timeframes ()
  "Captures under the given projects timeframe headline."
  (let ((p-name (ivy-completing-read "Select file: " (find-lisp-find-files "~/projects/orgmode/gtd/" "\.org$")))
        (h-name "* Timeframe")
        (c-name (read-string "Entry name: ")))
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (find-file p-name)
    (unless (re-search-forward h-name nil t)
      (progn (goto-char (point-max)) (newline) (insert "* Timeframe")))
    (org-end-of-subtree t)
    (newline 2)
    (insert (format "** %s %s" (format-time-string "[%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M]") c-name))
    (newline)))

Capturing Web Resources

;; This function was found on a stackoverflow post -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6681407/org-mode-capture-with-sexp
 (defun get-page-title (url)
  "Get title of web page, whose url can be found in the current line"
  ;; Get title of web page, with the help of functions in url.el
  (with-current-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously url)
    ;; find title by grep the html code
    (goto-char 0)
    (re-search-forward "<title>\\([^<]*\\)</title>" nil t 1)
    (setq web_title_str (match-string 1))
    ;; find charset by grep the html code
    (goto-char 0)

    ;; find the charset, assume utf-8 otherwise
    (if (re-search-forward "charset=\\([-0-9a-zA-Z]*\\)" nil t 1)
        (setq coding_charset (downcase (match-string 1)))
      (setq coding_charset "utf-8")
    ;; decode the string of title.
    (setq web_title_str (decode-coding-string web_title_str (intern
                                                             coding_charset))))
  (concat "[[" url "][" web_title_str "]]")))

Task Automation

I got tired of manually setting task states to “NEXT” “PROJ” “TODO” so i’ve added a few functions to automate this for me.

The NEXT state will be set if any of the following 3 conditions exist:

  1. Has a scheduled date assign to the task. (NOTE: We may want to add additional checks for expired task)
  2. Task has a context task assigned. (Context tags start with “@”)
  3. Has an active checkbox that’s not marked completed.

attachments/next-states.gif
attachments/context-tags.gif

The PROJ state will become active upon the following conditions:

  1. Task has a child headline with a TODO-KEYWORD of any-type (TODO/NEXT/WAIT).

attachments/projects.gif

DEPRECATED: I need to remove this section when I can.

ID Completion

I got tired of flipping back n forth between buffers, copying the ID of a headline, then jump back and paste that ID into my link. So now i’ll have org-refile-get-location fetch the ID for us when I call org-insert-link.

NOTE: I need to see a better way of caching headlines to speed-up the process

(require 'find-lisp)
(defun nm/org-id-prompt-id ()
  "Prompt for the id during completion of id: link."
  (let* ((org-agenda-files (find-lisp-find-files org-directory "\.org$"))
         (dest (org-refile-get-location))
         (name nil)
         (id nil))
    (if (equal (last dest) '(nil))
        (error "File contains no headlines")
      (save-excursion
        (find-file (cadr dest))
        (goto-char (nth 3 dest))
        (setq id (org-id-get (point) t)
              name (org-get-heading t t t t)))
      (org-insert-link nil (concat "id:" id) name))))

(after! org (org-link-set-parameters "id" :complete #'nm/org-id-prompt-id))

Quick Note Find Headline

Another pain point i’ve been constantly facing is quickly taking a note and storing it in the appropriate location without losing focus on what i’m currently working on. This is common when on calls or meetings and you need to make a note for another task item you’re working.

So with that, I added a new function tied to the quick note capture-template key, which will prompt for a headline from any of your task files that exist in “~~/projects/orgmode/gtd/~”.

(defun nm/org-end-of-headline()
  "Move to end of current headline"
  (interactive)
  (outline-next-heading)
  (forward-char -1))

Daily Task Adder

This function will create a new headline, and nest the checkitem underneath the headline specified by DATE chosen during capture. This will also set a scheduled date on the headline. NOTE: I’m not real sure this is of use anymore, maybe see if we should remove it.

(defun nm/org-capture-to-task-file ()
  "Capture file to your default tasks file, and prompts to select a date where to file the task file to."
  (let* ((child-l nil)
         (parent "Checklists")
         (date (org-read-date))
         (heading (format "Items for")))
    (goto-char (point-min))
    ;;; Locate or Create our parent headline
    (unless (search-forward (format "* %s" parent) nil t)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (newline)
      (insert (format "* %s" parent))
      (nm/org-end-of-headline))
    (nm/org-end-of-headline)
    ;;; Capture outline level
    (setq child-l (format "%s" (make-string (+ 1 (org-outline-level)) ?*)))
    ;;; Next we locate or create our subheading using the date string passed by the user.
    (let* ((end (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree t nil))))
      (unless (re-search-forward (format "%s %s %s" child-l heading date) end t)
        (newline 2)
        (insert (format "%s %s %s %s" child-l heading date "[/]"))))))

Orgmode Formating

Eventually this will turn into a suite of functions that will clean-up the formatting of any org-mode document, and standardize to a common format that is believed to be standardized by the community. Reddit post will come eventually to discuss, and a link will be updated in this section when that comes.

TODO: I need to start building the outline for this.

(defun nm/add-newline-between-headlines ()
  ""
  (when (equal major-mode 'org-mode)
    (unless (org-at-heading-p)
      (org-back-to-heading))
    (nm/org-end-of-headline)
    (if (not (org--line-empty-p 1))
        (newline))))

(defun nm/add-space-end-of-line ()
  "If N-1 at end of heading is #+end_src then insert blank character on last line."
  (interactive)
  (when (equal major-mode 'org-mode)
    (unless (org-at-heading-p)
      (org-back-to-heading))
    (nm/org-end-of-headline)
    (next-line -1)
    (if (org-looking-at-p "^#\\+end_src$")
        (progn (next-line 1) (insert " ")))))

(defun nm/newlines-between-headlines ()
  "Uses the org-map-entries function to scan through a buffer's
   contents and ensure newlines are inserted between headlines"
  (interactive)
  (org-map-entries #'nm/add-newline-between-headlines t 'file))

(add-hook 'org-insert-heading-hook #'nm/newlines-between-headlines)

Journal Capture Template

I need a way to make a dynamic template that will let me capture various types of information: meeting notes, calls, conversations, things i’m working on, etc.. Eventually this function will contain several mini templates inside of it that are called when initiated. TODO: Roll this under my new nm/find-file-or-create function.

(defun nm/capture-to-journal ()
  "When org-capture-template is initiated, it creates the respected headline structure."
  (let ((file "~/projects/orgmode/gtd/journal.org")
        (parent nil)
        (child nil))
    (unless (file-exists-p file)
      (with-temp-buffer (write-file file)))
    (find-file file)
    (goto-char (point-min))
    ;; Search for headline, or else create it.
    (unless (re-search-forward "* Journal" nil t)
      (progn (goto-char (point-max)) (newline) (insert "* Journal")))
    (unless (re-search-forward (format "** %s" (format-time-string "%b '%y")) (save-excursion (org-end-of-subtree)) t)
      (progn (org-end-of-subtree t) (newline) (insert (format "** %s" (format-time-string "%b '%y")))))))

Requirements

These are some items that are required outside of the normal DOOM EMACS installation, before you can use this config. The idea here is to keep this minimum so as much of this is close to regular DOOM EMACS.

  1. SQLITE3 Installation: You will need to install sqlite3, typicalled installed via your package manager as sudo apt install sqlite3
  2. I use a few different monospace fonts: Input, DejaVu, FiraCode, IBM Plex Mono and Roboto Mono.

Initial-Settings

These are some of the deafult settings that I like to get out of the way. This covers some basic things like my user profile name, email address and what information I like to dispaly in the modeline.

TODO: I need to change this heading to “Hardened settings” and put in here things that typically never change.

(setq user-full-name "Nick Martin"
      user-mail-address "[email protected]")

(display-time-mode 1)
(setq display-time-day-and-date t)

Next up, sometimes file changes are made outside of emacs, so if we detect changes I would like emacs to refert the buffer with those new changes. Also I like to have a bit more control in my undo actions and step through each change.

(global-auto-revert-mode 1)
(setq undo-limit 80000000
      evil-want-fine-undo t
      auto-save-default nil
      inhibit-compacting-font-caches t)
(whitespace-mode -1)

(setq-default
 delete-by-moving-to-trash t
 tab-width 4
 uniquify-buffer-name-style 'forward
 window-combination-resize t
 x-stretch-cursor nil)

If I ever use terminal mode, these are some settings i’ll want to set to increase the quality of life when working from my terminal window.

(when (equal (window-system) nil)
  (and
   (bind-key "C-<down>" #'+org/insert-item-below)
   ;(setq doom-theme nil)
   (setq doom-font (font-spec :family "Roboto Mono" :size 20))))

Now I add my default folders and files that I want emacs/org-mode to use:

(setq diary-file "~/projects/orgmode/diary.org")
(setq org-directory "~/projects/orgmode/")
(setq projectile-project-search-path "~/projects/")

Next we configure popup-rules and default fonts.

Org-Mode

Here we add any requirements before org-mode starts to load. Some key notes here to make note of:

  1. org-image-actual-width will use the function to try and set the image size to a % of your display’s width.
  2. hl-todo-mode enabled for ORGMODE. All of my notes are stored under my parent org-directory along with my GTD tasks, but I don’t necesarily like to add tasks to my notes files, or see them appear in my org-agenda. So instead I add the keywords where I need to make a note, or something I need to follow-up on and use the magit-todos-list to see what follow-up items I have to complete. HACK: See if we can modify hl-todo keywords just for ORGMODE.

NOTE [2021-01-03 Sun] - i’m going to try swapping log notes going after drawers to see how I like it…

Capture Templates

attachments/capture-templates.png

What templates do I need available for quick capture of information?

  1. Checklists
  2. Bullet Journal
  3. Journal
  4. Notes
  5. Web Resources

Task items can be a few different things, and there’s the whole GTD which i’m trying my bestest to follow. Sometimes I may have a task item that I simply need to remind myself to complete, and just need to check it off a list acknowledging i’ve completed it and other times I need an actual task item to capture and track data in.

Clock Settings

(after! org (setq org-clock-continuously t)) ; Will fill in gaps between the last and current clocked-in task.

Default Tags

I don’t like to shift my eyes back n forth when i’m scanning data, so I keep my columns one space after the headline.

(setq org-tags-column 0)

I like to keep a list of predefined context tags, this helps speed the assignment process up and also keep things consistent.

(setq org-tag-alist '(("@home" . ?h)
                      ("@computer" . ?c)

Keywords

After much feedback and discussing with other users, I decided to simplify the keyword list to make it simple. Defining a project will now focus on the tag word :project: so that all child task are treated as part of the project.

KeywordDescription
\TODOTask has actionable items defined and ready to be worked.
HOLDHas actionable items, but is on hold due to various reasons.
NEXTIs ready to be worked and should be worked on soon.
DONETask is completed and closed.

Logging and Drawers

Next, we like to keep a history of our activity of a task so we track when changes occur, and we also keep our notes logged in their own drawer. Optionally you can also add the following in-buffer settings to override the org-log-into-drawer function. #+STARTUP: logdrawer or #+STARTUP: nologdrawer
