* filtering timeline view @ 2009-01-29 4:03 Ilya Shlyakhter 2009-01-29 13:18 ` Bernt Hansen 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Ilya Shlyakhter @ 2009-01-29 4:03 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Is it possible to filter the timeline view (agenda) by tag and/or by headline regexp? I use orgmode for a research notebook, where the outline organizes ideas on various projects and sub-projects. I put timestamps into entries when I work on them, so that I can use the Timeline agenda view to quickly find recently worked-on items. But I want to be able to find only the _important_ recently worked-on items, skipping things like temporary brainstorming notes. I can tag the important items (or the unimportant items) with particular tags, or with particular strings in the headlines; but is there a way to restrict the timeline view based on that info? thanks, ilya ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Filtering by tags is easy - in the agenda use / and then one of your quick keys for tags or TAB to specify any tag to filter on. -Bernt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Is there a way to include this secondary filter into a custom agenda view? Also, a couple of suggestions for the agenda view: - C-h C-m should display the available commands, like in other Emacs modes - there should be a command to remotely visibility-cycle the currently highlighted node in the original org buffer - days on which there are no agenda entries after secondary filtering should be removed from the timeline list - would be good to be able to do a secondary filter on the contents of the entries (like with keyword search), rather than just on the tags. In general, the number of commands to remember seems very large. It would be good if there was, in addition, a simple general way to select a subset of the entries, specifying: - whether to search just this file or all agenda files - what regexp the entry header and/or the entry text must match, or not match - what tags the entry must have or not have - what date range the entry must be labelled with then specifying how to sort the results: by date, (then) by tag; ascending/descending; etc. It would also be good if some of these conditions could be entered dynamically at the prompt, where they would be lisp-compiled and applied to generate the needed agenda. ilya On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 8:18 AM, Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca> wrote: > Ilya Shlyakhter <ilya_shl@alum.mit.edu> writes: > >> Is it possible to filter the timeline view (agenda) by tag and/or by >> headline regexp? >> >> I use orgmode for a research notebook, where the outline organizes >> ideas on various projects and sub-projects. >> I put timestamps into entries when I work on them, so that I can use >> the Timeline agenda view to quickly find recently >> worked-on items.

Hi Ilya, start with the manual, and the FAQ, and then see what remains of your questions/requests. - Carsten > > > ilya > > On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 8:18 AM, Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca> wrote: >> Ilya Shlyakhter <ilya_shl@alum.mit.edu> writes: >> >>> Is it possible to filter the timeline view (agenda) by tag and/or by >>> headline regexp? >>> >>> I use orgmode for a research notebook, where the outline organizes >>> ideas on various projects and sub-projects. >>> I put timestamps into entries when I work on them, so that I can use >>> the Timeline agenda view to quickly find recently >>> worked-on items.

Furthermore, both org-mode and org-agenda-mode have menus which contain a pretty complete list of commands. So does the printable refcard. >> >> - there should be a command to remotely visibility-cycle the >> currently highlighted node in the original org buffer Would you like to suggest a key for such a command? Note also the variables org-show-hierarchy-above and its siblings which can be configured so that more context becomes visible when a command is shown from the agenda. >> >> - days on which there are no agenda entries after secondary >> filtering should be removed from the timeline list THis is hard, and just icing on the cake.

There is a search view which searches headline and content for text and regexps. You can then drill down with tags. >> >> >> In general, the number of commands to remember seems very large. That sounds life experience and wisdom.

Again C-c a m does this, after you have remembered how the syntax for tags and property searches works. - Carsten >> > > Hi Ilya, > > start with the manual, and the FAQ, and then see what remains > of your questions/requests. > > - Carsten > >> >> >> ilya >> >> On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 8:18 AM, Bernt Hansen <bernt@norang.ca> >> wrote: >>> Ilya Shlyakhter <ilya_shl@alum.mit.edu> writes: >>> >>>> Is it possible to filter the timeline view (agenda) by tag and/or >>>> by >>>> headline regexp? >>>> >>>> I use orgmode for a research notebook, where the outline organizes >>>> ideas on various projects and sub-projects. >>>> I put timestamps into entries when I work on them, so that I can >>>> use >>>> the Timeline agenda view to quickly find recently >>>> worked-on items.
