ISSUE:
I have a keyword "CATEGORY" which I use on headlines to make me aware
that they define a category for everything below them.
example:
file: school.org
* CATEGORY English
#+CATEGORY: English
** PROJECT presentation "org-mode"
*** TODO call Tom: beamer
*** TODO search pictures
** TODO homework p. 42
* CATEGORY Math
#+CATEGORY: Math
** TODO homework sheet Nr. 4
...
Is it possible to let emacs know that every headline with the
"CATEGORY" todo-keyword should be used as a category?
> If not... I think it would be a great feature to add!
ADVANTAGES:
this would bring the following advantages:
- I would not have to add "#+CATEGORY:" nor type the same words as the
headline after it
- I could define a category by using my todo-keyword menu. with
shortcuts and fast selection!
- I could use the agenda view to get a list of all categories defined
in that way... and be able to filter them!
WORKAROUND:
Until then I have to add "#+CATEGORY: <repeat headline words>" on
every such headline and be aware that changing the headline does not
change the category wording.
> PROBLEM: more work, redundant
or
use the "CATEGORY" todo-keyword without "#+CATEGORY"
> this however would result in the following Agenda buffer for our example:
school: TODO call Tom: beamer
school: TODO search pictures
school: TODO homework p. 42
school: TODO homework sheet Nr. 4
> PROBLEM: agenda buffer unclear (school is not precise enough)
Any ideas on how to get there or feedback on the idea?
