Is there a reason for this? >=20 Hi Chris, Have you think of using the agenda views? In four keystrokes, you're there with the best signal to noise ratio: - `C-c a' (or M-x org-agenda) - `<' (to restrict the agenda view to the current buffer) - `m' (for tags, property and todo keywords) - `abc' (for tag :abc:), or (`YEAR'=3D2010 for PROPERTY :YEAR: equal=20 to 2010, etc). HTH, Fran=C3=A7ois. PS: +1 for the excellent org-bibtex functionality !
