I am working on Org-mode to practice TODO,
when in GUI console,
I issue M-shift-RET, it produce another ** TODO
* Tasks
** TODO
** TODO
** DONE Start new org file for tutorial
CLOSED: [2018-12-30 Sun 21:04]
However, when working on Terminal
** DONE Start new org file for tutorial
CLOSED: [2018-12-30 Sun 21:01]
** TODO
**
It produce ** as M-RET rather than M-shift-RET
How could I solve the problem?
Many hot keys work well in GUI-emacs will not work in terminal-emacs. You can learn something and find fix method here. But the easiest way is to use GUI-emacs instead of terminal-emacs.

I use Emacs org-mode to organise my todo list. Recently I found under each todo item it automatically generates a property drawer containing a key ID and the corresponding value, something like this:
** TODO meeting XXX
SCHEDULED: <2014-07-12 Sat 14:00>
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 46673B08-F9D9-4966-B70A-A2ADBC2ADE0E
:END:
Entered on [2014-07-08 Tue 20:40]
I have no idea how this property drawer is generated, and I did not have it before. If delete it, next time I start Emacs to read the file, it will come back again. What would I do?
Would you have used MobileOrg? If yes, that's the culprit (and that clutter is something more that keeps me away from using MobileOrg ATM).
Posting your configuration file would definitely help diagnose what's causing this. For some, this is the desired behavior of the org-id package, which is explained in Handling Links in the Org-mode Manual:
The library org-id.el must first be loaded, either through org-customize by enabling org-id in org-modules, or by adding (require 'org-id) in your .emacs.
An init.el / .emacs file that enables this functionality, might for example, include the following:
;; Use global IDs
(require 'org-id)
(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t)
;; Update ID file .org-id-locations on startup
(org-id-update-id-locations)
Additionally, you could check your .emacs.d directory to see if there is a .org-id-locations file, which is generated by the org-id package.
To disable this behavior, you should remove all org-id package related code from your configuration files.
It's likely that this behavior occurs every time you use (org-store-link), commonly bound to C-l l. You might also want to check out Assign IDs to every entry in Org-mode
I use Emacs Org mode to deal with my daily staffs. Now I use Emacs to manage some research papers. When reading the papers, I would like to take some notes as the following using the shortcut key C-c C-z or only z in the Agenda View.
When taking a new note it looks like this:
However, after completing the note taking with C-c C-c, the note is stored in the LOGBOOK under where it was taken:
The first problem is that the note itself is not highlight. The second problem is that, if I would like to revise this note, I do not know how to display it as when it was taken(just as in the first picture above, in a new buffer with highlight). It seems that I could only revise this note under the "Note taken on ..." line with no highlight plain text.
However, I am not pleased with this editing method since it should be as the same as the first picture, i.e., when the note was first created.
Thanks for your attention and help.
In addition to using subtasks (as discussed in the comments underneath the initial question in this thread), here is an alternative approach that places the notes at the tail end of a task without any blank lines between sentences. The stock org-mode has the ability to handle this -- i.e., no modifications are required (other than keywords and priority settings)

My emacs version is GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2013-03-18 on MARVIN.
If I start emacs with '-q' option, I'll use the built-in org-mode 7.9.3f, and for following text
* Level 1
** Level 2
Some text for level2.
if I press M-RET at the end of the last line, I'll get a new heading in a new line.
* Level 1
** Level 2
Some text for level2.
**
However, in org mode 8.0.3(from ELPA), it makes the last line a new heading instead of inserting a new one.
* Level 1
** Level 2
** Some text for level2.
It's very intrusive and I'm wondering whether it's a bug or something. Could you tell me how to get M-RET behave like version 7.9.3f?
This is known new behavior which was introduced just recently and a possible bug, see

How can I get just the notes from org-mode heading without any "technical" stuff?
I mean, I want something like that
* Some project
- some note 1
- some note 2
** some chapter
- another note
- noooote
** TODO some big todo
- something to note for the task
- another thing
** some chapter
instead of that
* Some project
- some note 1
- some note 2
** some chapter
- another note
- noooote
** TODO some big todo

EDIT: I figured out I can accomplish that using exports (with #+OPTIONS: <:nil d:nil), but its not really convenient - I mean, I need to press Ctrl-c Ctrl-e u, then switch to new buffer Ctrl-b temp-buffer, then delete everything from it Ctrl-x h Ctrl-w, then add my export Ctrl-y Meta-y. Thats a LOT of keys to press.
Besides that, I couldn't get rid of stuff like - State "DONE" from "STARTED" [2011-11-10 Thu 19:51] because formally it is just a note - exactly the thing I "wanted" to keep.
Although you'll need to manually repair much of your existing org-document, the solution would be to use Logbook drawers.
To file your todo-state changes into a drawer (default to LOGBOOK) you can use (see Tracking TODO state changes): (setq org-log-into-drawer t) or :LOG_INTO_DRAWER: t as a property on the headline.
You can also use (setq org-clock-into-drawer t) to place all your CLOCK: lines into the :LOGBOOK: as well. If you want your clocking to go in a separate value, replace t with the string you want as your drawer title (e.g. (setq org-clock-int-drawer "CLOCK")
Then when you export your #+OPTIONS: d:nil will prevent any of those drawers from being exported, so none of that information will appear.
I want to give emacs' org-mode a try. What is the shortest path for me to accomplish that?
Assume NO previous experience with emacs.
(I'm aware that other editors, like vim and textmate, have similar task lists. I'm specifically interested in learning about the emacs org-mode)
My laptop runs Win7 Home Premium x64
I use Emacs (when I'm on Windows) with the official binaries at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-22.3-barebin-i386.zip Just unzip to a directory and double click "runemacs".
In all the commands that follow, C stands for Ctrl.
Create a file ending in .org. If using recent Emacs, that will automatically start org-mode. You can create a file using C-x C-f.
Start creating outlines like this:
* Level 1
** Level 2
Collapse/Uncollapse outline levels with TAB
Todo's you can cycle by hitting C-c C-t
That's the basics, and pretty much all I know, but I already use it extensively :)
Have a look at the tutorials on http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/
I started org mode with an article in the linux journal and a very useful & simply tutorial.
David O'Toole Org tutorial
Get Organized with Emacs Org-mode
Both sources give you in my opinion a superb and fast introduction to org mode.
Start org mode with M-x org-mode RET, or by visiting a file with the .org extension.
Type C-h m in an org mode buffer to see the (brief) mode description and (importantly) all of its key-bindings.
Type C-h i m org RET to read the Org Mode manual.
(Typing q will bury either of the *Help* or *info* buffers.)
Visit the web site at http://orgmode.org/ for more.
I found a very extensive list of youtube video regarding org-mode. See it here : Org-Mode on Youtube. Use the latest Emacs release, it already has org-mode installed. Create a file with .org extension. Now, type the title of the file, then start create these:
* Roles
** Role 1
*** Todo 1
*** Todo 2
*** Todo 3
** Role 2
*** Todo 1
*** Todo 2
While your cursor on Role1, press TAB and see the way org-mode hide/show the only relevant tree structure. Press tab again to toggle the visibility status.
Now, while you are in Role 1, type C-x n s, or the command org-narrow-to-subtree. It will only displayed Role 1. To get back, use the command widen, or C-x n w.
I found it very helpful!
Lots of other great stuff in org-mode
By the way, you can easily convert and display in browser your org-file. Type : org-export-as-html-and-open. I use it a lot!
Since others already mentioned how to install and start using org-mode, I would like to point you to the excellent collection of tutorials on Worg (it is a community driven documentation effort in the form of tutorials, How tos and other articles).
Everyone starts Emacs without previous experience.You just need to:
Install Emacs
Install org-mode
Use org-mode to write something
I think both Emacs and org-mode are well documented.So if you have any trouble, read the official documents.
That's all. Good luck.
Org-mode beginning at the basics sounds promising, it starts with
The absolute minimum you need to know about Emacs
The absolute minimum you need to know about Emacs, to be able to do
anything, is more then you need to know about many other applications.
But, you might compare it to a regular toy and lego. Lego is harder to
begin with (you start with a box with little plastic pieces), but in
the long run, you can do more with it.
I have a portable version with .emacs configure ready, which setup org mode, etc. It also included org sample file. I think that is a better start point.
