Hi all,

I have a bunch of TODO items connected with LaTeX files (in general:
projects) I'm working on.  I was wondering whether it might be possible
and/or wise to set things up so that I could clock in (C-c C-x C-i) in
a buffer containing such a file.  Currently, executing org-clock-in in
a non-Org buffer results in an error (at least with my setup); with a
prefix argument, everything is fine, I'm asked for one of the last
clocked items.  My dream is that I can clock in my buffer with just
C-c C-x C-i, and Org somehow could know which item to clock.  I imagine
file-local variable might be the way to go.  It might be a good idea to
both change/advise org-clock-in to accomodate for this use case, and
define something like
org-associate-file-with-org-headline-for-the-purpose-of-clocking to
e.g. ask for the item (from org-clock history), or use the refile
interface (which I haven't used, but I guess it could work well) and
set the file-local variable accordingly.

Also, this might allow for "automated clocking", i.e., advising
switch-buffer or something so that when I switch to a buffer belonging
to some project, clocking on it starts automatically.

Does there exist something like this?  Do you like this idea?  Does it
have any pitfalls I cannot see? Would anyone but me use this?  If the
answers are no, yes, no, yes, I might try to implement it when I have
some time to spare (i.e., not now - I'm extremely busy during this week
- but maybe in a week or two)

Best,
