Org-mode Hydras incoming!

A hydra for org-mode time/clock/capture

This is a categorized version of the hydra that @WorldsEndless contributed today to the wiki.

( defhydra hydra-global-org ( :color blue :hint nil ) " Timer^^ ^Clock^ ^Capture^ -------------------------------------------------- s_t_art _w_ clock in _c_apture _s_top _o_ clock out _l_ast capture _r_eset _j_ clock goto _p_rint " ( "t" org-timer-start ) ( "s" org-timer-stop ) ;; Need to be at timer ( "r" org-timer-set-timer ) ;; Print timer value to buffer ( "p" org-timer ) ( "w" ( org-clock-in ' ( 4 ))) ( "o" org-clock-out ) ;; Visit the clocked task from any buffer ( "j" org-clock-goto ) ( "c" org-capture ) ( "l" org-capture-goto-last-stored ))

I've bound it like this:

( global-set-key [ f11 ] 'hydra-global-org/body )

Previously, I had f11 bound to org-clock-goto , thanks to the Org Mode - Organize Your Life In Plain Text! post. I kind of recommend that post, as it has a tonne of useful stuff. At the same time, it resulted in me copying too much stuff that I didn't understand into my config, ultimately discouraging me from using org-mode . YMMV.

A hydra for refile/archive

Inspired by the previous one, I wanted to write a hydra of my own. As it happened, I was just about to clean up my git notes. So I wanted a nice refile hydra to speed up the process.

Here's the hydra's code, which is now part of worf. Worf is a package for quickly navigating around an org-mode buffer, you can get it from MELPA.

( defhydra hydra-refile ( :hint nil :color teal ) " Refile:^^ _k_eep: %`org-refile-keep ---------------------------------- _l_ast _a_rchive _o_ther _t_his " ( "t" worf-refile-this ) ( "o" worf-refile-other ) ( "l" worf-refile-last ) ( "k" ( setq org-refile-keep ( not org-refile-keep )) :exit nil ) ( "a" ( org-archive-subtree )) ( "q" nil "quit" ))

Some explanations:

worf-refile-this will give you a choice of this file's headings for refiling.

will give you a choice of this file's headings for refiling. worf-refile-other will give you a choice of your org-refile-targets except the current file.

will give you a choice of your except the current file. worf-refile-last will refile to the last refile location without prompting.

will refile to the last refile location without prompting. k will toggle org-refile-keep , which decides if refiling moves or copies the text.

And here's how it looks like:
