I definitely did try it, and I just did another 'git pull' and tried
again, and I still don't see it, so I guess we're talking about
different things ;-)
To clarify, I'm referring to showing effort via a single keystroke
when on a todo line in the *Org Agenda* buffer. Currently, when I hit
"e" on a todo which has an existing "Effort" property value set, my
minibuffer prompt shows "Value: ". The same applies with C-c C-x e in
a normal .org file buffer.
The only free single keystroke I could find is ' which actually has a
reasonable mnemonic: imagine a contractor providing you with a quote
estimating the effort for a task.
