But isn't "dangerous" to use the `0' for that, as it is used, with other
effects, as a speed command.

I know that `0' does not work as of today in the agenda view, but I think
speeds commands (I mean: one-letter shortcuts) should work in both places
(that is, in the agenda, and in column 0 of Org headlines), and quite a lot
already are shared (`I' for clocking, `t' for changing states, etc.).

Wouldn't we want to try to make those two sets equal?

Best regards,
  Seb

PS- It's true that we can see inconsistencies, as of today, between some
one-letter keys in the agenda and the speed commands. An example that comes to
mind is:

- `;' is used to set tags in *speed commands*
- `:' is used to set tags in *agenda* (and `;' is used for starting the time)

FYI, I'm willing to come up with a proposition of "one-letter commands" common
to both the agenda and the speed commands, that is compare both sets, and
propose changes where there are inconsistencies.

Best regards,
  Seb

As a speed command, you would use C-u 0 t d.  In the agenda,
numbers are special, they set the prefix argument.  One could do the same
in speed commands, of cause.

I think you are right here - it is not good that these are different.
Numerical prefix commands are different a bit, but maybe you are
even right there.
