<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I love emacs as a text editor for programming. But I am trying to build a GTD system using emacs orgmode and calendar and the search lists and calendar displays on emacs always end up looking like a nightmarish wall of text that makes looking at them a pain, a bit too information-dense, making it hard to focus on things. My eyes just bounce around the screen without focusing on anything.</p> <p>Is there a way to build similar calendar and search screens on emacs that have instead a lot of white space and separation between items, and focusing in readability rather than on information density?</p> <p>I basically would like more structure and less text on screen.</p> <p>Some examples:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://doc.norang.ca/block-agenda-nonproject.png">http://doc.norang.ca/block-agenda-nonproject.png</a></li> </ul> <p>This is a task list, but it just presents line after the other of tasks with very little structure and forces you to read through everything to find things rather than having more structure and less crowded text.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/x2h2YKongReYZpjadF36L0fvICHhm0fZG4keZZlYmapLUzfpBHuIIBwgLu1AaCTSFmUhbneZ946iOxm60HFIpcrzEr5otlWbvHM5uDmE9OlTN9n4Q__2A6Obq28">https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/x2h2YKongReYZpjadF36L0fvICHhm0fZG4keZZlYmapLUzfpBHuIIBwgLu1AaCTSFmUhbneZ946iOxm60HFIpcrzEr5otlWbvHM5uDmE9OlTN9n4Q__2A6Obq28</a></li> </ul> <p>Very crowded week-calenday-view with the tasks of one day just piling on top of the tasks of the next day and making it hard to get a clear, temporal view of the view.</p> <p>I haven't been able to find any examples with more readable and less crowded views. Has anybody built anything like this? Or is emacs the wrong tool for this and maybe more centered for users that like to see a lot of information at once rather than more structured information? I realize it may be difficult to do what other task and calendar applications do with pure text, so I may be looking at the wrong tool.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/graminouling"> /u/graminouling </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rct4vo/is_there_a_way_to_display_nice_readable_search/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/rct4vo/is_there_a_way_to_display_nice_readable_search/">[comments]</a></span> |
