Correction: The Best To-Do List: Org-Mode http://orgmode.org/ http://orgmode.org/

Cacti 13y ago
Combined with dropbox or some other remote storage and sync tool across multiple devices, this works wonders. There is an org-mode app for mobile devices as well. Of course people who dislike emacs might have a problem but it's quite hackable and there is nothing to keep one from associated .org files with emacs and using emacs just for todo lists (theres only about 5 or 8 commands in org-mode that you really have to know to be effective).

  I had problems with conflicting files in dropbox / google drive so I just have a single directory with all of my org files in it versioned with a private Github repo. For private stuff I just use the :crypt: keyword org extension to encrypt that entry with my GPG key...

  I have always fancied learning org-mode, but I have had trouble finding a guide which doesn't assume I already know emacs. Do you have any suggestions?

    There are a couple links below but http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.html http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.html is also pretty good.

  What's the accepted most mature Vim equivalent or clone for org mode? Is there any?

    I've used https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode for a while now for managing documentation written with org-mode. It gets the job done, but if my project's docs weren't written in org-mode already, I'd just use markdown.

    To make use of org-mode but use the familiar vim keybindings, I just use emacs with evil-mode, the vim emulation mode. It works great. I've searched for a vim-centered alternative to org-mode for a long time; this is the best way I've found.

      Thanks, so much. I might be in touch with you about this when I get around to trying it out.

    vimoutliner (https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner https://github.com/vimoutliner/vimoutliner) is also terribly mature and appropriate for a lot of tasks one might use Org mode for - certainly worth a look.

There was a reddit thread asking to share org-mode workflow, maybe you can give some details on your ways. http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1u52eu/can_people_share_their_orgmode_workflows/ http://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1u52eu/can_people_sha...

  I don't have an reddit account at the moment, but http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html influenced my org-mode workflow heavily.
  - agumonkey 13y ago
    This was mentioned already, and probably one of the most famous and exhaustive org-mode practical tutorial.

I was an org-mode user. Then I lost emacs config file, and started using Sublime Text. I'm now a happy user of the PlainTasks plug-in. https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks https://github.com/aziz/PlainTasks

I have a hard time using Org mode , more than I used to, because I've realised that it encourages a lot of subdivisions, and deep trees only serve to confuse my mind ( see http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/03/trees-treeviews-and-ui.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/03/trees-treeviews-and...)
- brunoqc 13y ago
  What are you using instead?
  - rtpg 13y ago
    I just use a markdown file now, with lists and headers/subheaders. I've found that when restricted to three levels, you don't really need more.

What's the most compatible or highest parity implementation for Vim?
- brunoqc 13y ago
  Don't be afraid to use emacs just for orgmode. It's worth it.
  - kro0ub 13y ago
    I think I'll really consider this. Which EMacs should I install for this purpose?
    - brunoqc 13y ago
      On Windows I'm using emacs from http://gnu.mirror.vexxhost.com/emacs/windows/ http://gnu.mirror.vexxhost.com/emacs/windows/ On Ubuntu I'm using this ppa : https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs To have the latest orgmode version I use the `org-plus-contrib` package from : http://orgmode.org/elpa.html http://orgmode.org/elpa.html I'm not sure if you need to delete `lisp\org` first (orgmode is included with emacs). I think you can also use git to keep orgmode up-to-date.

        How about with Arch?
        brunoqc 13y ago
        I don't know much about Arch. Latest emacs version is 24.3 so maybe https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/emacs/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/emacs/
  - kro0ub 13y ago
    Also, are the keybindings configurable so as to be coherent with Vim's?
