I use the excellent org-ql #Emacs package to search my #OrgMode files, and I got tired of typing the keywords so I made a bunch of keyboard macros to insert them for me:
(use-package org-ql-completing-read
:defer t
:bind
(:map org-ql-completing-read-map
:prefix "C-:"
:prefix-map org-ql-syntax-map
("t" . "todo:")
("C" . "clocked:")
("h" . "heading:")
(":" . "tags:")
("s" . "src:")
("T" . "ts:")
("p" . "priority:")
("c" . "category:")
("l" . "level:")))

A 'Choose Your Own Adventure' Written in Emacs Org Mode
#Linux #a11y question with a long self-indulgent preamble: I have been using #emacspeak in the #terminal on #MacOS as my “daily driver” for all writing/notetaking/ #orgmode scheduling/todo organizing for about a month now. I am super in love with it, transformational for this low-vision writer/teacher/editor/producer. (1/8)
Happy to announce that the Org protocol page on Worg has been updated for 2025. Its last significant update was 3 years ago and much of the content on it was stale. Most of it has been refreshed, although not all due to resource availability (anybody here using recent Windows and Org protocol? Contact me.) Learn all about it at the link below.

Thanks to Max Nikulin and Christian Moe for their feedback!
A bit of #emacs help would be great, I would like to setup a capture template for #orgmode with conditional logic, are there any examples I can look at? I currently capture with https://forgemacs.bharathpalavalli.com/#org5210378 and the template I would like to modofy is https://codeberg.org/bmp/forgemacs/src/branch/pages/Templates/TeaNotesTemplate.org, whereein based on a certin key/input some sections don't have to be filled in while capturing.
Being in Org mode and doing C-c C-c or something similar at the wrong place gives you a message that “C-c C-c can do nothing useful here” and it feels just like using your inventory in old Sierra and Lucasart point-and-click adventures games:“How can you do that?"/“Nothing happens”. #orgmode #gaming
I have started a new blog which will present musings on coding for my research in optimization and its application to industrial engineering problems. I code mostly in Julia and always using Emacs.
https://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucecesf/blog
I will post here when new blog posts are posted. I'm hoping to create an RSS feed for the blog in due course.
The blog is written in org mode in Emacs (of course ).

People of Emacs and Org Mode:
Are there any packages to manage a project? I have projectile, but that's more for coding. I mean like a house move or fence build kinda project: something that has multiple todos and will take a protracted amount of time.
Failing any specific package for that, what about a org template for said project?

I'm trying out #emacs #orgmode and I'd like to get notifications on my phone. So I installed *orgzly*. I was under the impression that if I had my todo.org file in a synced folder, *orgzly* would pick up the changes automagicaly. So I have my org files on Nextcloud, and the phone updates the folder locally every 15min. But it looks like orgzly only picks up the changes when I open the app.
Anyone got a auto-sync working?
So I finally did it: I put in a preorder for the new @frameworkcomputer laptop 12. It'll run @fedora and @kde and will be my Emacs and coding machine.
I've been loving exploring Emacs on my test device (an old Dell 5300 from work) and the form factor of the laptop feels perfect.
Now I have to wait for my order to be shipped (which will feel like decades).
Like a phantom through the terminal, Emacs is where your soul finds its rhythm. Org Mode? The map to your cryptic plans.

This #Journelly user review makes me so happy and proud.
Shawn, welcome to the #Emacs and #orgmode family!
Anyone curious, https://journelly.com let's you ease into org mode or ignore entirely. Entirely your call!
A cool thing about writing my course textbook in #emacs #orgmode is that I have a "view by unit" format book and a "view by assignment type" format book. All the same content, included into two diff base org docs. Students can approach however feels more organized to them.

Does anyone have any configuration examples/guides/resources on how I can make my org mode look better in emacs?
After spending some ridiculous time trying to figure out how #emacs works I decided "fuck it" and went back to neovim. Wrote a few plugins to make my #orgmode experience a bit better and just living with the conceallevel being broken.
That said, I didn't actually use vim that much in APT layout. I still might hate it there, lol.
Thanks everyone helping me out with setting up my emacs, though. I learned a bunch.
