Hi folks,
I'm trying to do this:
1. schedule a TODO on THIS_DAY
2. before THIS_DAY, don't show it in global todo list. So I have:
(setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t)
3. on(and after when not done) THIS_DAY, show it in global todo list
While, to my surprise, on THIS_DAY, the scheduled TODO doesn't show up
in the todo list!!
The manual (info "(org) Deadlines and scheduling") says:
Important: Scheduling an item in Org mode should not be understood
in the same way that we understand scheduling a meeting. Setting
a date for a meeting is just a simple appointment, you should mark
this entry with a simple plain time stamp, to get this item shown
on the date where it applies. ...
Does this mean that it will show in the calendar?
I'm new to orgmode. I'm thinking of referring to TODO list most of the
time. Is this a good way? Since switching between agenda and TODO list
looks a bit unconvenient to me.

I use a similar setup. As I understand if you want items to
appear on the date they are due you have to use the daily agenda.
So I use a custom agenda which shows the agenda items and the
todo list together:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("h" "My Agenda & TODO"
((agenda "")
(alltodo "home")))))
The agenda part is empty if there are no due items today and the
regular todo items are under it.
Invoke the agenda with M-1 prefix to show items only for today.
It can be assigned to a keyboard macro, of course.
