this emacs mode has a dedicated page, because it will change the way i make notes and organize information in my life
it is plain-text like txt, but better
build on top of outline mode the entire document can be organized as a hierarchial structure
we can define headlines and use tab to toggle expand them
some text in the second level.
TAB and STAB (shift+tab) use Shift-arrow to assign priority
for globally expanding/dexpanding, we do c-u tab
–> c-c c-n –> to move to next heading –> m-ret –> insert new heading with same level –> m-s-ret –> insert new todo with same level –> m-left/right –> promote/demote heading level –> m-s-left/right –> promote/demote tree level
example:
** Lord of the Rings My fav scenes are (in this order)
- The attack
- The flight
- awesome in book as well
- nice actors
Important actors:
- Tom Cruise
- he was awesome
- Mark Shawn
- he is awesome as well
desc is for links to open the link, C-c C-o
you can have more info in the links as well. for eg, in the file link: ~/Downloads/new.py –> when you open it, emacs moves to line no 12 ~/Downloads/new.py –> when you open it, emacs moves to line with some_text
internal links: ones that don’t look like a url, they are internal in the current file #my-custom-id –> this will link to the entry with the property CUSTOM_ID set to “my-custom-id”
some_text –> this will link to headline (something else too?) that reads some_text
to view the sparse view –> C-c /
organize todos in a list, then enter [/] or [%] in the headline and finally, to get the fraction or percentage, use C-c C-c
checkboxes - [ ] here also, you can do [/] to check the status of the checkbox having children, go to it and do C-c C-c
tags they can be mentioned at the end of any headline being and end with a single colon “:” eg: * read sicp :work:
properties - they are key-value pairs associated with an entry
{ to print any variable, use (message var-name) }
capture notes when working - C-c c archive the todos when they are done: C-c a
