Hi Carsten,
Thanks so much for this wonderful tool. I moved from planner-mode to
org-mode about a year ago and org-mode is a pleasure to work with.
Great job!
One thing I've been finding that I want to do is to view my agenda for
some arbitrary date in the future. I can't find any good way to display
the agenda for say Dec 12, 2007. The best I can come up with is to
create a date link in an org file and then C-c C-o on that to get to the
date I want and then delete the org file date link since all I wanted
it for was to get to the agenda view but this is a bit tedious.
Using the agenda view to manually page forwards (by month or week) isn't
convenient if the date is too far away.
It would be nice to have a function (maybe org-agenda-goto-date or
something) that prompts for the date and then displays the agenda with
that date without having to edit the date into an org file first.
Is there a good way to do this today that I'm just not aware of?

At this point I went away and started hacking on the lisp code.

Here's a patch that implements this function in case you find it
useful.
PS. This is my first ever Lisp contribution! :D Hopefully it's okay :)
Regards,
Bernt

Agreed.

No, and this is truly an important omission.

The patch is great, I only modified it so that you could call the
function
also in a non-interactive way, and added a menu entry for it.
You even got the key binding right, I would have made the same choice.
Thanks.
- Carsten
