Is there a hook that is run with creating a new head= line in org mode? I have several properties that I always set for working t= odos & I’d like to have them automatically created when I make a = new headline (say when I hit return at the end of it)

IE:

,*** this is a sample headline <hit enter here>= ;

 

,*** this is a sample headline

:PROPERTIES:

<some properties here>

:END:

 

And maybe even an interactive schedule/deadline prom= pt?

I have a function to create the properties drawer bu= t don’t know how to hook it to headline creation.

 

Thanks!

Why not create a specialized function which might ask for the title of the headline and insert that headline along with the properties? Or even insert an /empty/ headline with these properties and place the point after the string of asterisks and a space, so that you can type the title? Or, if we are at it, why not use Yasnippet for that? Not exactly what you want, but maybe this is what you /need/? If not, I guess that advising org-return /might/ be the way to go. (For instance, you might check whether the user hits RET with the point at the end of a headline with empty contents.) > Thanks! > Subhan Hth, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Subhan Michael Tindall Subject: Re: hook for inserting headlines Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:27:56 +0000 Message-ID: <1da9467831234dd58d54fd71a0f3fa93@fcmailsvr2.familycareinc.org> References: <5c980d6fde7a4961b5270932bcf62be4@fcmailsvr2.familycareinc.org> <87y4p642r7.fsf@wmi.amu.edu.pl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Return-path: Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::10]:36839) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YBRjg-0007VU-2P for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Wed, 14 Jan 2015 12:28:09 -0500 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YBRjc-0006df-Rc for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Wed, 14 Jan 2015 12:28:04 -0500 Received: from outbound.familycareinc.org ([207.170.205.147]:31377) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YBRjc-0006Yd-Ls for emacs-orgmode@gnu.org; Wed, 14 Jan 2015 12:28:00 -0500 In-Reply-To: <87y4p642r7.fsf@wmi.amu.edu.pl> Content-Language: en-US List-Id: "General discussions about Org-mode."

This last one sounds closest. I'm not really familiar with how advising a = function works though. The point (for me) is to avoid interrupting my 'flow' while setting up proj= ects, TODOs, etc. I'm pretty well programmed to manually type my headlines= and having some of the extra drudge work get added in automatically would = help my process quite a bit.

Adivising functions is easy (especially in Emacs 24.4+). Basically, you give some code which will be executed before or after (or both) the advised function. Also, Yasnippet might really be the way to go. Very easy to set up and configure. See http://sachachua.com/blog/2015/01/thinking-make-better-use-yasnippet-emacs-workflow/, for instance. (Sacha also mentions org-capture, which is yet another alternative.) You might configure Yasnippet so that if you type e.g. "todo" and press TAB, it "expands" to the template of your headline, with the drawer and such, with the point in desired place.
