Hi --
Still too much of a newbie to figure this out on my own. I get lost in
the Lisp still.
(1) I want to define a custom agenda view that displays only those
tasks that have today as a deadline or are past-due. Since many of my
tasks also have scheduled timestamps, sometimes these end up being the
same day. It looks to me as if they will be left out if I skip
scheduled items, even if they also have a current deadline. How can I
finesse this?
(2) Eventually, I want to create a DONE log of copies of items as they
get finished, with contextual data retained. But for right now, all I
want is to be able to switch to an agenda view of tasks that were
complete today. I've tried a few ideas that seemed like low-hanging
fruit here, but no luck.
Anyone willing to help out with these? Thank you so much!

The local variable org-deadline-warning-days should be set to 0 (otherwise you'll get items due tomorrow). --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("d" "Due today" agenda "" ((org-deadline-warning-days 0) (org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown t) (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notdeadline)))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Here's a sample file: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO Scheduled today SCHEDULED: <2009-09-24 Thu> * TODO Scheduled yesterday SCHEDULED: <2009-09-23 Wed> * TODO Deadline and scheduled today SCHEDULED: <2009-09-24 Thu> DEADLINE: <2009-09-24 Thu> * TODO Deadline past due DEADLINE: <2009-09-22 Tue> * TODO Deadline tomorrow DEADLINE: <2009-09-25 Fri> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- When I call the custom agenda command (with org-deadline-warning-days set to 0) on this file, I get the following: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Day-agenda (W39): Thursday 24 September 2009 test: In -2 d.: TODO Deadline past due test: Deadline: TODO Deadline and scheduled today --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Perhaps you could test this on your setup to see if you get the same results.
