Hello, Christian.
Thanks for the tip!
It is indeed a very good solution.
For now, I’m improvising the one-key approach with this
~/.emacs.d/init.el:
(setq org-speed-commands-user
'(("j" my/org-quick-refile)))
(defun my/org-quick-refile ()
"Refile subtree using list of predefined targets."
(interactive)
(let ((choice (car (read-multiple-choice
"Refile where?"
'((?j "Journal")
(?a "Project 1 Notes")
(?s "Project 2 Notes"))))))
(let ((id
(cond
((= ?a choice) "eb952006-71f4-4fc3-93d0-9f0cb61aed5b")
((= ?s choice) "3e444863-a617-414d-97bf-31fdd888b4dc")
((= ?j choice) "journal"))))
(if id
(if (string= id "journal")
(my/org-journal-pre-resolve-with-header)
(my/org-refile-to-id id ""))))))
(defun my/org-refile-to-id (id &optional todo)
"Refile current subtree to subtree with ID."
(interactive (list (read-string "ID: ")))
(when todo (org-todo todo))
(org-cut-subtree)
(let ((anchor (ignore-errors (org-id-get-create))))
(org-id-goto id)
(org-insert-heading-respect-content)
(org-demote-subtree)
(org-yank)
(exchange-point-and-mark)
(zap-to-char 1 (string-to-char " "))
(move-beginning-of-line nil)
(if anchor
(org-id-goto anchor)
(message "This was the last one."))))
P.S.: Please ignore the ‘my/org-journal-pre-resolve-with-header’---it’s
a /very/ ugly newbie hack that I commited what I would like to believe
ages ago.
