Fantastic video! For me C-x C-t goes right to TODO without a prompt for state. How did you configure that? Also, I think init.el assumes a .emacs.d directory in your home, otherwise I think it's just .emacs. I'd love to see a video on how to break up org-mode content across files. I make one per day, but it gets unwieldy and I end up with the same todo items in multiple files, which breaks org-agenda with lots of redundancy. I'm sure there are multiple strategies here, but I'd love your thoughts. Thanks!
Thank you! Did you mean C-c C-t? In that case perhaps it is because you don't have any alternative keywords set. You can either set the `org-todo-keywords` variable or, at the top of your org file, see this: orgmode.org/manual/Per_002dfile-keywords.html Now about init.el that sounds right, I have never used a .emacs file because I tend to have more files and whatnot. Re breaking up org content, it's really a personal choice. You're right I definitely should do a video on this topic. There are many tools out there to help, perhaps 'denote' might be up your alley. Must avoid same todos in multiple places though!!
That's a great question. First I'll say that it's 100% personal preference/situational but for me, since I'm in school and have multiple very distinct things to attend to (TODOs for each class, essentially) I use headings to separate TODOs. When off school, however, it seems that I just pile everything under one heading. I will note however that I use tags in both cases, as that makes sorting in my org-agenda very easy, so I suggest you do the same. A good org-agenda takes the thought out of the process. Again very good question, I am considering a video on the topic, it will be a difficult one to make.
Thank you! I think it would make a very good video since usually todo apps are straightforward unlike orgmode which can be shaped in different ways which might make users a bit lost like in my case, I did try to separate different types of TODOs by headlings but I still didn't need tags so far. Thanks again I love your content.
Mind sharing some version info (emacs version and org-mode version), or any customization / setup you made? My emacs/org is pretty much a plain install, and doesn't seem to act like yours here.
Hi, unfortunately I am not sure, org 9.5 just came out a few days ago and I haven't updated yet. I do know they updated something with tag selection so maybe that's related. Apologies, I'll update when I can.

Your "a bit more unscripted content" is excellently organized, clear and succinct. Subscribed. The time spent on it was really worth. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the nice comment. Glad the video is appreciated.
god this is so much better than hour long videos. thank god you exist.
What a kind comment, that really means a lot. Thank you and I am glad my video was helpful.
This was really clear! I'm hoping to incorporate this into a habitual workflow and the presentation made for great food for thought, thanks
Great video, very informative as always Jake, thanks!
Thank you very much for your nice comment.
Simple but useful! Thank you very muchs, greetings from Peru
You are very welcome. ¡Saludos de los Estados Unidos!
never knew about that relative time format, thanks
Jake with the great content as usual!
but that light mode burnt my retina
Thank you very much!
@@夕阳-n1h Sorry :( Good to know. Will keep that in mind for next time.
@@JakeBox0 hey jake thks for the content. I like this theme btw jajaaja
@@leandrusfanzec Thanks. I think it's Modus Operandi. You can search for Modus Themes on google or in Emacs.
very well structured video :D thank you!

Do you separate different TODO items by headlines ? or do you just write all of them under the same headline and use tags in each item ?
That's a great question. First I'll say that it's 100% personal preference/situational but for me, since I'm in school and have multiple very distinct things to attend to (TODOs for each class, essentially) I use headings to separate TODOs.

Sure, take a look on my channel, I have a walk-thru of my Emacs config, feel free to skip ahead to the Org Mode section.
How did you change the ... (three dots representing a folded heading) to ▼ at the end of each heading?
I think that’s the org-ellipsis variable. You can check out my Emacs config tour video
@@JakeBox0 Thank you!
In my org-mode (9.5) C-c C-t (org-todo) doesn't have a choice menu. So where does this come from?
Hi, unfortunately I am not sure, org 9.5 just came out a few days ago and I haven't updated yet. I do know they updated something with tag selection so maybe that's related. Apologies, I'll update when I can.
what is this slick nice theme you're using?
It is modus-vivendi by Prot.
How do you scroll through the time at 7:50?
That would be ‘org-shiftup’
👍👍
I like, but mugging my poor old eyes with the white background and small font
