More Emacs coolness: List of contacts
| bbdb, emacs, plannerThis bit of Emacs Lisp code produces a Planner-ready list of the contacts displayed in the BBDB window.
(defun sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb (&optional record) "If called from a bbdb buffer, return an annotation. Suitable for use in `planner-annotation-functions'." (when (or record (eq major-mode 'bbdb-mode)) (setq record (if record (car record) (bbdb-current-record))) (or (bbdb-record-getprop record 'plan) ;; From a BBDB entry with a plan page; use that. Yay! (planner-make-link (concat "bbdb://" (planner-replace-regexp-in-string " " "." (bbdb-record-name record))) (bbdb-record-name record))))) (defalias 'planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb 'sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb) (defun sacha/yank-planner-bbdb-list () "Copy the list of people displayed in the buffer." (interactive) (kill-new (mapconcat 'sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb bbdb-records ", ")) (sacha/planner-bbdb-annotation-from-bbdb rec))
It allows me to say, for example, that I met 23 people yesterday:
Bruce, Daniel Charles, Shane D'Costa, Emily, Greg A. Fitz, Clara Fong, Jay Goldman, Harvey, Kai Fai Ho, Iris, KC, Charles McCulloch, Jamie McQuay, Joshua Meles, Naomi, Helen Overland, W- Penney, Simon Rowland, San, Colin Smillie, Solomon, Le Quan Truong, Perry Wong
