Hi all,
First of all, although I kind of lurk on this list, I absolutely adore
org-mode. Carsten's attention to everyone's complaints is amazingly
consistent. Thank you.
Second, in the buffer that shows the agenda for the current week or
day, why is C-n bound to an action that moves you forward a day at a
time? Since the current day shows all my deadlines and TODOs for the
future, it's not likely that one will need to look at days ahead, and
if I do, it's probably not common enough to be bound to something as
fundamental as C-n. I most frequently want to move in agenda buffers
in order to mark TODOs done. Since I always use C-n/C-p instead of
the arrow keys, using the arrow keys in this one particular situation
requires a significant mental step that always causes me to mutter
under my breath.
Also, I suggest that if I go through an Agenda buffer and mark some
todos done, if I hit C-x C-s it should save the files whose todo items
have changed. This would reinforce the abstraction that I'm really
just looking at my org files through different lenses, and actions in
that abstraction affect the underlying locations.
If there are workarounds for the two complaints above, by all means
let me know. Thanks.

You are welcome.

Point taken, and I actually agree and will change this.
Note that "n" and "p" also move you around.

OK, also this is a useful addition. Again, "s" does this already, but
I agree C-x C-s is logical.
