Hello guys! Thank you for the replies. It has been some time but I had lots of work to do here so didn't have much time to play around.
So, refiling doesn't do exactly what I would like. Some issues I've found:
* I need to write the data in a buffer first and then C-c C-w to refile it.
* It only allows you to refile to the root items and doesn't go any deeper.
* If I'm processing items in a different file (I've setup org-remember to save the items in a different file) I don't have access to my gtd.org file lists (can't refile between different files). -- is there a way to get the items from another file?
org-remember is really powerful and I use it a lot when I have ideas that I want to process later. However, sometimes you have a specific cristal-clear next-action in your head and you know where it belongs (i.e the project), but you want to quickly input it and keep working. This is something I miss from PlannerMode, where you can quickly input an item and choose which file it will go, so, that's what I would like org to have, a **quick way to input items interactivelly, all through the mini-buffer.**
Is there a way to do that? If not, I keep it as a suggestion for next releases. I'm also willing to contribute as soon as I master elisp!
Keep up the great work,
Marcelo.
Hi Marcelo,
If I'm understanding it correctly, org-remember with interactive filing
does precisely what you're looking for. You can quickly enter a task and
then type C-1 C-c C-c to choose where to file it.
