Feature request: indicate task status when hinting at related task #11

I really like the gnorb feature in gnus that hints at related tasks. Unfortunately I don't know if the task is done, waiting, or active. Could it be possible to display the task status in the menu bar as well ?

Sure, that would be possible! Right now the message is formatted with:

"Possible relevant TODO: %s, trigger with %s"

How about we just replace the hard-coded "TODO" with the actual TODO keyword of the heading?

Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub.*

That would be great!

girzel commented 10 years ago

Done! There should be a command to briefly visit the org TODO heading from the gnus summary buffer, as well...

brabalan commented 10 years ago

It works great, thanks!

Two small suggestion: mention the gnorb-gnus-view command in the help text, and it would be wonderful to have a way to go back (but winner-undo works very nicely here).

Hmm, gnorb-gnus-view is a work in progress that I probably shouldn't have even pushed to the repo until it was done! I'll get to fixing it up as soon as I've finished the transition to using the registry for tracking. Closing this issue for now...
