Huh, this is *very* cool. Thank you.

Now I need to solve the problem of being able to tie the node to the clock-display. (If there's a big list, then it's hard to visually match them.)

I think I recall a minor mode that highlighted the current line your point is on. That would fix it. But then, it would be nice if that worked with my mouse too.

Any ideas?

I think unless there's an obvious way to solve this, that it might actually make sense to have the "......." bit visible by default, and provide an option to turn it off for people who don't mind the way it looks.

Thoughts?

Check latest master: I removed the dots.

This cannot be easily achieved, if at all.

From master, this should be aligned correctly now.

Well, not possible.

Done.

Yep -- please submit a patch for other changes you would like to
make.  Read http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html twice to
format the patches correctly :)
