Append a todo or a note to an org-mode file with a short and convenient command in Alfred. The workflow requires Alfred’s “Powerpack.”
The command appends a second level heading to a user defined .org file and puts all what follows :: into the body of the heading (see figures below).
Type todo to add a todo:
Type note to add a note:
The added notes and todos are divided into title and content:
Relative dates (Monday, tuesday, tomorrow, morgen, freitag) in the content part of the entry are converted into orgmode specific date formats <2015-09-11 Fri>.
You can also use relative dates to add a SCHEDULE or DEADLINE by using the following syntax, where S: converts the following date to a SCHEDULE date, and DL: to a DEADLINE. Note: the conversion only works if the pattern (S: or DL:) is followed by a date without a space between the pattern and the date.
~~~ todo Title of the workflow:: S:tomorrow DL:monday ~~~
By default, the date of creation is added to a property car (you can disable it inside Alfred; see Installation below):
Double klick on org-mode-capture.alfredworkflow to add it to Alfred’s set of workflows. Then you need to set up the workflow by customising the workflow variables with Alfred’s Configure Workflow... command (see figure below). It is obligatory to set at least the path to your inbox.org files. The non-obligatory variables have sane defaults, but can be customised by your liking: if you prefer -- as a title-content separator, then you can change it as well.
If you encounter a bug, please enable Alfred’s debugging mode and post the error message.
