Create TODO item from anywhere

Create TODO item from anywhere

[Richard G Riley]

Hi, I am very new to org mode and have come across something which has
me faltering a little and I can't see the solution although I know it
must be there.

Here is my org mode setup:

,----
| (require 'org)
| (setq org-directory "~/org")
| (setq org-return-follows-link t)
| (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
| (define-key global-map "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
| (define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
| (setq org-log-done t)
| 
| (setq org-agenda-files (list 
| 			"~/org/mygtd.org"
| 			"~/org/register.org"
| 			))
| 
| (require 'remember)
| 
| (setq org-remember-templates
|       '(
| 	(?t "* TODO %?\n  %i\n  %a" "~/org/mygtd.org" "Tasks")
|         (?r "* %^{Title}\n  %i\n  %a" "~/org/register.org" "Register")
| 	)
|       )
| 
| (setq org-todo-keywords '("TODO" "FEEDBACK" "VERIFY" "DONE")
|       org-todo-interpretation 'sequence)
| 
| (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
| (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
| (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template)
|
| (global-set-key (kbd "<f5> r") 'remember)
`----

The problem is that I can't see a function which I can bind to a global
key which can produce a TODO item without a link from anywhere. e.g I
might be in the *Scratch* buffer and want to create a TODO which has no
link back to the *Scratch* buffer. I don't really know lisp so cant delve
in the code. I'm sure its there somewhere and is totally obvious - isn't
it?

Please upgrade to a newer version of org-mode.  This problem has been 
fixed
in the mean time.
