I see > todo-mode.el which is too simple (in particular, no > concept of dependencies between tasks) Dependencies! :) A todo list in my mind isn't a complicated plan how to rob a bank in a "Mission Impossible" episode - it is support for not forgetting things, and remembering them instantly when everything else is right! Whenever you are the most creative/productive, there is no time to thing what to do. Instead, just look at the todo list and find tons of things, even tho a sec ago it felt like there was "nothing to do" (very frustrating) - instead, just dig in... Also, when yo do something ELSE, it is very common to realize "ah, here you should have THAT!" - but it is better not to do "that" at that point, because your brain/body is filled with "else", so better to do "that" manually, and automatize "that" later, so next time you do "else", you can just invoke it - actually "later" is the situation described in the preceeding paragraph... So in this situation of realization of the missing tool, you need a fast interface to the todo list, i.e. M-x todo RET do-what RET Anyway, here is the source: Emacs: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/todo-did.el zsh: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.zsh/todo Get there, fast: Emacs: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/navigate-fs-keys.el zsh: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.zsh/navigate-fs -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
