I have been trying to think of a way to extract common ground from the different opinions. Here is what I have come up with: 1. n/p remain as they where 2. Moving forward/backward though time will be `f' and `b' 3. Follow mode goes to the "F" key, a capital letter does make sense here given that some other modes like [G]rid and clock[R]eport and [D]iary are on capitals as well. 4. `org-agenda-tree-to-indirect-buffer' is already on `C-c C-x b' which is the same key as in a normal Org buffer. Therefore, I think we do not need to find a replacement for the `b' binding. 5. The cursor keys and are remapped to a function that does nothing, except showing a message that you should now use f/b to move through time. We could have an option to allow users to get the time motion or cursor motion on left/right, if there was enough support/need for this. I do not think that this is strictly necessary, because every user can of course rebind keys in any way she likes. If we decide to use an option for this purpose, the message shown by default with the cursor keys could also point to the corresponding variable.
