org mode as tabbed notebook

org mode as tabbed notebook

[katepano]

Hello All,
I was wondering if somebody managed to use orgmode as atabbed notebook, 
like gjots, or the old keynotes program from windows which I miss a lot 
or even Ms one note. I tried using tabbed.el or speedbar, or the sitemap 
of orgmode but it was not satisfactory. Any way how you manage to have a 
lot of files open simultaneously, with the buffer list?

Any ideas are wellcome!

One easy way to switch org-buffers is to use C-c b (org-iswitchb) in
conjunction with ido, which allows for fuzzy matching.

I have the following settings in my emacs file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (ido-mode 1)

  (ido-everywhere 1)
  (setq ido-confirm-unique-completion t)
  (setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)

  ;; will use ffap-guesser to determine whether file name is at point
  (setq ido-use-filename-at-point 'guess)

  (setq org-completion-use-ido t)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Note that these settings also make ido the default interface for
switch-to-buffer and find-file.

Best,
Matt

Aloha katepano,

I'm not familiar with other programs you mention, so I might be  
misinterpreting your larger question.  On the narrower question about  
having a lot of files open and creating a view into the open files,  
Org-mode uses something it calls the Agenda.  The Agenda is extremely  
flexible, so you can create pretty much anything you want with it.   
I'm guessing that, with a bit of study and experimenting, the Agenda  
can approximate a tabbed notebook.

There is a good Agenda tutorial here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.php

HTH,
Tom

Having never used any of the other tools you mention, I'm not sure
what functionality you are missing or desire.  Can you please expand
on this?  I use a number of tools to manage my buffers including
bs-show, ido and org's own org-iswitchb (C-c b).  I have used ecb mode
as well (which is a bit more powerful than speedbar), especially when
I am coding as well as writing, as it supports org files well enough
for my uses.

HTH,
eric

Speedbar, or even http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/sr-speedbar.el

works on the console too,
