interesting idea! Though Org mode is much more feature-full not everyone needs that amount of features. But the big thing for me was agenda that generates interactive list of tasks with times, dates, repeats, and so on. Glad to see some flavor of it in Kakoune!

The configuration is dense, but if I can spot some of my favorite parts, is the ability to grep things within a time range (the current day and week), and relative-to-absolute (ā€œnext mondayā€ ā†’ %F ā†’ ā€œ2020-01-13ā€) date formats.

This is really cool. Do you mind commenting a little more about the functionality here? Iā€™m also really interested in seeing an example file.

I can show some videos, but I just switched to Sway / Wayland, Iā€™m not sure how to do yet.

Please post if you manage to figure it out! Iā€™m really interested in a similar setup, but it would be great to see it in action. Thanks!

7

Iā€™m currently busy to review my plugin implementations, but I will do when I have the time.

This looks very nice! Thanks for sharing.
