Anyone have any org-mode config settings that they've found invaluable? I finally have my normal emacs config mostly working how I want it, so why not go in and add more stuff to it with org-mode!

I use org-mode's agenda as kanban board, so adding a global shortcut for agenda is invaluable. Also more states. And I typically use a blank line between tree branches. Without altering org-cycle-separator-lines, it will be eaten up by last leaf of previous branch which I found annoying. Apart from that their defaults are pretty good. (use-package org :bind ("C-c a" . org-agenda) :config (progn (setq org-agenda-files '("~/org")) (setq org-cycle-separator-lines 1) (setq org-todo-keywords '((type "TODO" "PROG" "WAIT" "|" "DONE"))) (setq org-todo-keyword-faces '(("TODO" . "brightblack") ("WAIT" . "yellow")))))

  Excerpts from my org-mode configuration: https://gist.github.com/TeMPOraL/a25fbf499e295537fa80e525fcceebf3 https://gist.github.com/TeMPOraL/a25fbf499e295537fa80e525fcc... As you can tell, I'm a huge user of agenda and org-capture, and also keep my org files synced via Dropbox. I don't document my configs much, so friendly reminder for readers of mine (and others) - you can find documentation for any variable from within Emacs, by pressing C-h v (or M-x describe-variable), and for any function by pressing C-h f (or M-x describe-function). try-load-and-configure-library is a small macro I wrote long before I found out about use-package. (defmacro try-load-and-configure-library (lib &rest configuration) (declare (indent defun)) `(when (locate-library (symbol-name ,lib)) (require ,lib) ,@configuration))

There are many, but here are a few. In the org files, to collapse and clean up the outline visuals: #+STARTUP: hidestars indent overview In init.el (see [1] for define-keys macro): (define-keys org-mode-map ("\C-cl" . 'org-store-link) ("\C-cw" . 'copy-org-link-at-point) ;; Make links work like chasing definitions in source code. ("\M-." . 'org-open-at-point) ("\M-," . 'org-mark-ring-goto)) A helper [2] to quickly export a subtree to HTML is very handy.
