This is fork of great workflow made by Alexander Gogl. @vlnn just stripped it off most of the extras, fixed a tiny bug, and also did a small reconfiguration. But even though the code is mostly the same, structurally repo got pretty far away from its ancestor. Thus I don’t expect this version to be merged into the original repo. Please pay a visit to the original repo.
Easily append a todo or a note or so-called inspiration to an org-mode file with a short and convenient command in Alfred. The workflow requires Alfred’s “Powerpack.”
The command appends a second level heading to a user defined .org file and puts all what follows :: into the body of the heading (see figures below).
Type todo to add a todo:
Type note to add a note:
The added notes and todos are divided into title and content:
Relative dates (Monday, tuesday, tomorrow, morgen, freitag) in the content part of the entry are converted into orgmode specific date formats <2015-09-11 Fri>.
You can also use relative dates to add a SCHEDULE or DEADLINE by using the following syntax, where S: converts the following date to a SCHEDULE date, and DL: to a DEADLINE. Note: the conversion only works if the pattern (S: or DL:) is followed by a date without a space between the pattern and the date.
~~~ todo Title of the workflow:: S:tomorrow DL:monday ~~~
By default, the date of creation is added to a property car (you can disable it inside Alfred; see Installation below):
This workflow is integration between running emacs server and user input. That’s why there are actually two main running parts:
Double klick on org-mode-capture.alfredworkflow to add it to Alfred’s set of workflows. Then you need to set up the workflow by customising the workflow variables with Alfred’s Configure Workflow... command (see figure below). It is obligatory to set at least the path to your inbox.org files. The non-obligatory variables have sane defaults, but can be customised by your liking: if you prefer -- as a title-content separator, then you can change it as well.
If you want to recompile the workflow you should be able to do it with `make compile`, which will update/create new org-mode-capture.alfredworflow file, that you may use as shown above.
- You should have your emacs server running, meanining if you enter `brew services` to your terminal you can see something like this:
emacs-plus@28 started user .../LaunchAgents/[email protected]
If you don’t see emacs-plus or other services starting with emacs you have to install it.
- Add next magic elisp piece of code into your
config.el:
(defun make-orgcapture-frame ()
"Create a new frame and run org-capture."
(interactive)
(make-frame '((name . "remember") (width . 80) (height . 16)
(top . 400) (left . 300)
(font . "-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-*-13-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")))
(select-frame-by-name "remember")
(org-capture))This will add a function `make-orgcapture-frame` to your emacs environment, which will be called by the python script, which will be called by Alfred. Don’t worry – it should just work. If not please ping me in issues, and I will document the process of the setup more thoroughly.
If you encounter a bug, please enable Alfred’s debugging mode and post the error message.
