6 Todos

TODO items are an integral part of the notes file, and intended to be integrated directly while taking notes. Simply mark an entry as being a TODO item, and the entire context from which the TODO item emerged is always present. While your notes become scattered throughout your files, Org-mode provides methods to give you an overview of all the things that you have to do.

• A heading becomes a TODO item when it starts with ‘TODO’
• ‘C-c C-t’ (org-todo): Rotate the TODO state; if fast selection is on (it is), prompt for a keyword, but only after fast access keys have been assigned (not done by default).
• S-M-<RET>: Insert a new TODO entry below
• S-<RIGHT> S-<LEFT> : Cycle through multiple keywords
• ‘C-c / t’ (org-show-todo-tree): View TODO items in a sparse tree.
• ‘C-c / T’: Search for a specific TODO, or a list ‘KWD1|KWD2’
• ‘C-u C-u C-c / t’: Find all TODO states, both done and not done.
• M-x org-agenda t (org-todo-list): Show the global TODO list.

• ‘TODO’ Variables
