BTW here is a great short wikipedia introduction to G(etting) T(hings) D(one). It's no philosophy, religion or mechanical procedure. It's just an (intuitive) approach to the amorphous, ever-changing pattern in real life.

Setting deadlines for tasks

Here is yet another useful functionality: setting deadlines to tasks.

First, add this in ~/.emacs:
Code: [Select]
(require 'planner-deadline)(Re)Start Emacs Planner to let the change take effect.

Then go to your tasks. Add a deadline by M-x planner-deadline-add.
You will see a deadline tag show up at the end of the task, e.g.
Code: [Select]
#B _ Return books to the library {{Task 12}} {{Deadline: 2007.04.12 - 7 days}} (@Research)which is read off as: Priority | Status | Task description | Task id | Deadline (with remaining days | Context tag
Also Planner will tell you how many days are left.  Nice!

Of course, since you can add deadlines, you can change them. Try
M-x planner-deadline-remove
M-x planner-deadline-change
M-x planner-deadline-update


Again, you may want to assign easy keys for them if you use them a lot.

Maximize your view in Emacs

Because of the small screen size, every single row and column counts in displaying text. Here is a trick to have Emacs display in the whole screen on your Z.

(Go directly to Step 2 if you are not using GTKTerm2 to launch Emacs)

Step 1: Maximize view in GTKTerm2
Run GTKTerm2 with this:
Code: [Select]
gtkterm2 -s --win-height=52(-s = "Stealth" mode; --win-height = number of rows)
Or you can edit /usr/share/applications/gtkterm2.desktop once and for all.

Then GTKTerm2 will run without any window thingies (frame, scroll bar, menu tool bar) but only a big box filling up the display.  (You should use a slightly lower window height, say 48, in Matchbox because the matchbox panel is not collapsible and may block the view of the last few rows.

If you want to reclaim the remaining few rows at the bottom, then maximize the window, in the same way as in any other application, e.g. Ctrl-Alt-M in matchbox, and set you own keys in icewm in ~/.icewm/preferences


Step 2: Get rid of UI stuff in Emacs
Add these in your .emacs file:
Code: [Select]
(if (fboundp 'scroll-bar-mode) (scroll-bar-mode -1))
(if (fboundp 'tool-bar-mode) (tool-bar-mode -1))
(if (fboundp 'menu-bar-mode) (menu-bar-mode -1))
(Got it from: htp://www.cabochon.com/~stevey/blog-rants/effective-emacs.html)


Before ...

After ...

Now Emacs can work more efficiently on your Z!

Thanks for the planner tips! Didn't know about the deadline feature..

I got rid of the toolbar, menubar etc a couple of months ago and yes it makes the work area bigger but also looks so much nicer

Actually there is much more to explore in Planner... it's a really powerful mode.
Next I'm gonna find out how to generate status report, which is very useful for task review.  

Please let me know if you come up with anything interesting.

Just compiled Emacs-unicode2 on OpenBSD/Zaurus.
Compilation goes faster and smoother than using zgcc on pdaX.
And the build also loads and runs much faster under OBSD!
Time to resume working with Emacs@Zaurus.

Does anyone know how to enable history when running bash in Emacs via M-x shell

What I mean is, when you press the up arrow in a terminal you get the previous command you keyed in.

This works in eshell in Emacs, however if you run bash in Emacs and hit the up arrow it just moves the cursor up...

Now I'd like to run bash for chrooting in emacs, because you can chroot in eshell, but then input completion doesn't work.

Any solution for this?

Try M-p (Emacs speak for esc-p or alt-p).

either use M-p M-n
or put:
Code: [Select]
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
   (local-set-key '[up] 'comint-previous-input)
   (local-set-key '[down] 'comint-next-input)))
in your .emacs

One more thing, is it possible to get previous input based on what you type, I mean for instance when you type ls and then up arrow, you get choices only from prior commands starting with ls...

I found the comint-previous-matching-input, but this then asks you for regexp, thus if you give it ls, it'll come up with the history. But if you type ls in the shell buffer and then run comint-previous-matching-input it again asks you for the regexp, and doesn't take what you entered on the line as the regexp.

Is there a way to do this?

I don't think there is something like that, maybe some extensions...
or use M-x ansi-term RET RET and the C-r from read-line ...
