This is amazing, thank you for introducing me to this feature! I have started clocking my time with clockify app at first, but now I will most definitely move to this org feature!
may I ask? Imagine I have many buffers open with different files. I have clocked in in one of those files. I would imagine the idea of C-c C-x C-j would be to jump to the project that I have clocked in from ANY buffer that I have open, but for some reason it tells me that this particular command is undefined. Why is that? Are you not supposed to jump through buffers with it? I am also using evil mode, but havent touched anything keybord shortcuts related. thanks! p.s. if I am INSIDE the buffer that I have clocked in, I can click the shortcut and it will bring me to the logbook as it is intended. hmm.. so maybe it doesnt work between the buffers..
I have good and bad news. The good news is that I can easily reproduce your problem. The bad news is that it looks like that this key-combination only works in org-buffers, but not in other buffers.
Hi Logan, if you prefix both with C-u they seem to do the same. But if you don't prefix them, then it looks like C-c C-x C-i clocks in the task where the cursor is located while C-c C-x C-x restarts the task for the last clocked task.
John, the ones I use daily I have memorized. And for the others Emacs still offers the "Org" and "Agenda" menus. ;-) Of course you can download a cheat sheet from the OrgMode website: orgmode.org/orgcard.pdf
if I clock into a task, then for some reason I have to leave emacs (e.g. a reboot) then when I come back in, it can't figure out what task I was clocking even if I'm in that buffer and even on that task. It says "no active clock." I can see the clocked in event in the logbook but I have to enter the clock out event by hand. Help?
Customize group and then "org-clock". You'll find the setting org-clock-into-drawer which holds the string "CLOCKING" in my case. There are also settings about "org-clock-persist", so I did set them to "t" (clock and history). The problem is, that changing this setting is not enough. You need the following lines in your Emacs init file: (require 'org-clock) (org-clock-persistence-insinuate) I guess the org-clock-persitence insinuate) is the most important thing, after doing this I was able to go back to my running clock after exiting Emacs and starting it again. Also see the manual at orgmode.org/manual/Clocking-work-time.html
If I put the clock entries in a extra drawer they don't clutter up my LOGBOOK. I try to keep notes about the progress of the taskin the LOGBOOK drawer, but there is no use to keep all the clock entries there. Just imagine my piano practice, every day a least one clocking line... ;-)
I've watched these so many times I'm starting to get a German accent. I told my family, "It's nuffing to vorry about!" Thanks for sharing!
I wish RUclips would allow me to like your videos more than once! This video series is excellent. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
This is super useful! Thanks so much! i'm going to watch all of your videos

this is quality content
This is excellent. Thank you.
Hi Rainer. What is the difference between C-u C-c C-x C-x and C-u C-c C-x C-i? They seems to do the same thing (ie. Restart with menu). Thanks a lot!
Hi Logan, if you prefix both with C-u they seem to do the same. But if you don't prefix them, then it looks like C-c C-x C-i clocks in the task where the cursor is located while C-c C-x C-x restarts the task for the last clocked task.
Thank You arnold! :)
Thank you!
love it! You should get into the action movie ;)
You've introduced so many key combinations over the course of these videos. Do you have them all memorized, or do you use a cheat sheet?
John, the ones I use daily I have memorized. And for the others Emacs still offers the "Org" and "Agenda" menus. ;-) Of course you can download a cheat sheet from the OrgMode website: orgmode.org/orgcard.pdf
haha how often do people tell you that you sound like a terminator?
I love and appreciate the screencast though :)
Man! First I thought he was german and then I finally landed on the terminator! So true!
Is there an automated way to add a note when clocking out or interrupting a task to say what you just did?
I don't now an automated way, but taking notes is easy by presing C-c C-z.
if I clock into a task, then for some reason I have to leave emacs (e.g. a reboot) then when I come back in, it can't figure out what task I was clocking even if I'm in that buffer and even on that task. It says "no active clock." I can see the clocked in event in the logbook but I have to enter the clock out event by hand. Help?
also my clocking isn't going into a clocking drawer because the function (org-clock-into-drawer) doesn't exist
Customize group and then "org-clock". You'll find the setting org-clock-into-drawer which holds the string "CLOCKING" in my case.

@@koenighaunstetten thanks, I'll try those.
What's the advantage of having the clocks go into a CLOCKING drawer vs letting them just go into LOGBOOK?
If I put the clock entries in a extra drawer they don't clutter up my LOGBOOK. I try to keep notes about the progress of the taskin the LOGBOOK drawer, but there is no use to keep all the clock entries there. Just imagine my piano practice, every day a least one clocking line... ;-)
