1. The syntax for defining habits seems fairly complex. One must add a repeating scheduled timestamp, a repeating deadline timestamp and aproperty. I was wondering if there could be anyway to automate creatingnew habits---e.g., a dialog that asks for the appropriate time spans.(My own preference would be to use a new timestamp notation to indicatehabits. I'm not sure what this would look like. Perhaps something like this: SCHEDULED: <2009-10-17 Sat !+2+2> --- where the first number is the repeating span and the second is the "grace period". Of course, I have no idea whether this is possible.)
I agree with you here, and think that a more comprehensive SCHEDULED syntax might be just the fix. I'll look into this. Perhaps using a syntax like "!+2/2".
3. The faces for the graph are difficult to read against dark backgrounds. (See attached image.)
I'll fix this too.
4. I currently use the tag :HABIT: to track habits. This allows for easy filtering in the agenda. I'm wondering whether there might be an optionto designate habits with a user-defined tag rather than the STYLEproperty. The advantage would be much faster agenda searches for habits.
You can search for STYLE="habit". I myself use contextual tags on the habits, because some of them aren't appropriate in other location, and I wouldn't want to see ":HABIT:" in the right-hand column for every one.
Also, note that you can press K now to filter habits in and out of the agenda view. They are also by default restricted to only appearing in todays' agenda view.
