;;; Commentary:
;; Org-Velocity.el implements an interface for Org inspired by the
;; minimalist notetaking program Notational Velocity.  The idea is to
;; allow you to maintain, amass and access brief notes on many
;; subjects with minimal fuss.

;; It can be used in two ways: to store and access notes from any
;; buffer a universal bucket file; or as a method for navigating any
;; Org file.

;; The name of the bucket-file (`org-velocity-bucket') and whether to
;; always use it (`org-velocity-always-use-bucket-file') are set
;; through Customize.  If the bucket file is set but not always to be
;; used, then calling Org-Velocity outside of Org-mode uses the bucket
;; file; calling it in Org mode uses the current buffer.  If no bucket
;; file is set then Org-Velocity only works when called from Org.
;; Even if the bucket file is always to be used, calling
;; `org-velocity-read' with an argument will use the current file.

;; The interface, unlike its inspiration, is not incremental.
;; Org-Velocity prompts for search terms in the usual way; if the user
;; has customized `org-velocity-use-completion', completion is offered
;; on the headings in the target file.  If the search multiple times
;; in the target file, a buffer containing a buttonized list of the
;; headings where it occurs is displayed.  Results beyond what can be
;; indexed are discarded.  After clicking on a heading, or typing a
;; character associated with it, the user is taken to the heading.
;; (Typing 0 forces a new heading to be created.)  If
;; `org-velocity-edit-indirectly' is so set, the heading and its
;; subtree are displayed in an indirect buffer.  Otherwise the user is
;; simply taken to the proper buffer and position.

;; If the user simply hits RET at the prompt, without making a choice,
;; then the search is restored for editing.  A blank search quits.
;; This method of selection is obviously not as slick as the original,
;; but probably more useful for a keyboard-driven interface.

;; If the search does not occur in the file the user is offered a
;; choice to create a new heading named with the search.  Org-Velocity
;; will use `org-capture' or `org-remember' if they are loaded,
;; preferring `org-capture'.  Otherwise the user is simply taken to a
;; new heading at the end of the file.

;; Thanks to Richard Riley, Carsten Dominik, and Bastien Guerry for
;; their suggestions.

;; (global-set-key (kbd "C-c v") 'org-velocity-read)
