When it comes to eliminating workflow friction, few do it better than Matus Goljer (Fuco1). His latest post describes a fix for a problem that I didn’t even know existed: When Org pops up a log note buffer (after a change of task status, for example), the input method reverts to English. That’s fine if English is your native language and you’re shamelessly provincial like me. As I say, I didn’t even know it’s a problem. But English is not Goljer’s first language and he, of course, prefers to use an input method appropriate for his native tongue. The problem is, the log note buffer reverts the input to English.
As Goljer notes, that’s ironic given that the current maintainers are also not native English speakers. In any event, he put together a few lines of Elisp that solved the problem for him. As he says, he spent a total of about 2 minutes on it, far shorter than the time he spent searching for a solution in the manual.
If you also use a default input language other than English, be sure to take a look at Goljer’s post for an easy fix. If you are a native speaker, you might also want to check out his post just to see his code. I learned a couple of new Elisp functions that I didn’t know about so it was worth it for me.
