Whenever I try to check what I actually in the past couple of days, I
try to use a clocktable for this. However, those clocktables are
usually littered with small entries, i.e. entries where I only spent a
couple of minutes on (example: a quick chat with a colleague). Those
entries clutter the view for the relevant entries, making it hard to
make sense of past activities.
Restricting the clocktable to a certain depth somehow helps, but major
single tasks are hidden this way, and I usually want to see those.
The custom formatter added in this commit tries to alleviate this
situation by providing a mechanism to filter out those entries using a
minimum clocktime threshold. Let's see how this feature plays out.
Previously, links which end in a closing brackets got a non-breaking
space appended via a separate advice to `org-link-make-string`.
However, this did not work well with the other advice that removes
statistics cookies from links, mostly because I messed up the order in
which the advices were applied. To remedy this, the advice to remove
statistics cookies now also adds a non-breaking spaces as described
above.
When a headline ends on a closing bracket, Org adds an escape character
to the link text to distinguish the end of the link from the link
description. This escape character is a zero-width space, which is
counted for Org table alignment as one character, but the link itself is
displayed shorter, because the zero-width character is displayed as a
single pixel by emacs.
To work around this issue until the upstream fix is released, let's add
a final non-breaking space to those link descriptions to avoid the need
for the zero-width escape characters.
I found that opening this output on the right side to be annoying, so
let's switch try the bottom side window instead. This also works with
having an eshell buffer open at the same time, resulting in a nice reuse
of the right space of eshell windows that is usually empty.
This is especially useful when skipping weekends, but also allows for
future extensions where based on the date more complex skipping criteria
can be implemented, e.g. for holidays or vacations.
With vertico, using the default `yank-pop` is nice enough. Furthermore,
yanking with helm does not update the current candidate selection when
in a minibuffer prompt (like for `find-file` or `org-insert-link`),
sometimes leading to confusion.
The algorithm has been simplified and has been commented where
appropriate (from my point of view). An extensive docstring has been
added to describe the intention of the approch and its recursive nature.
With `common-lisp-indent-function`, the indentation of `while` was not
correct – oops.
This change will break some current indentations, though. Stay tuned.
This is to have this extra blank line after refiling.
This reintroduces 76c8717, and reverts f064bf9 and 8ed64b7. The issue
with too many blank lines at some items may reappear.
Those DATE entries may be relevant to the item at hand.
Caveat: the query to determine active, concurrent DATE entries is not
quite right yet, two disjoint time ranges that do not include today but
cover the past and the future would also be considered as concurrent
active date. This needs to be fixed.
The original motivation to keep this entry was to signify that backlinks
where searched for, but none where found. However, I now think that it
is enough to just rely on the code to search for relevant backlinks, and
where there are none, to just print nothing.
