	Greetings org-mode,

In my workflow, I move by priorities and scheduled dates for the tasks. My goal with this issue is to have a view that would show me only the tasks with certain priority(-ies) that are scheduled for today (or are overdue, as in  (org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all t) ).

My feeble attempt here:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" "Custom"
         ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 1))) 
          (tags-todo "+PRIORITY=\"A\"")))
	;; ...other commands here
        ))

... displays a usual daily agenda and following it, _all_ the #A tasks that I have. Clearly not what has been intended.

After wrapping my head around it, I suspect that the only way to achieve the desired functionality is through using/modifying org-agenda.el functions to have a filter, similar to that in 'C-c a a' view for tags ("/" - Tab), only this time for priorities.

Is this the best way to do this and how would one go about it? Perhaps there exists a better way to achieve the same functionality?


Will be grateful for any assistance,
Barton

Here's one way to do it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" "Custom" tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<=\"<today>\"+PRIORITY=\"A\"")
;; ...other commands here
        ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Another approach is to use the daily agenda view and a skip function.
This is a bit faster than the first example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" "Custom" agenda ""
	 ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:scheduled))
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "\\[#A\\]"))))
;; ...other commands here
        ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

HTH,
Matt

Thanks Matt, works like a charm! 

The final version of my org-agenda-custom-commands:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("c" . "Priority views")
	("ca" "#A" agenda ""
	 ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:scheduled))
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "\\[#A\\]"))))
	("cb" "#B" agenda ""
	 ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:scheduled))
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "\\[#B\\]"))))
	("cc" "#C" agenda ""
	 ((org-agenda-entry-types '(:scheduled))
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp "\\[#C\\]"))))
	;; ...other commands here
	))

The org-mode love affair goes on. =)
