Hello fellow orgers,
I have a quick question to which I couldn't find an answer in the org
manual.
How can I remove WAITING tasks from the global TODO list?
Thanks
Markus

By allowing all your TODO keywords but WAITING:
C-c a T TODO|STARTED [RET]

Add a WAITING tag and use filtering.
,----[ (info "(org)Agenda commands") ]
| Secondary filtering and query editing
| .....................................
|
| `/'
| Filter the current agenda view with respect to a tag and/or effort
| estimates. The difference between this and a custom agenda
| command is that filtering is very fast, so that you can switch
| quickly between different filters without having to recreate the
| agenda(1)
|
| You will be prompted for a tag selection letter, SPC will mean any
| tag at all. Pressing <TAB> at that prompt will offer use
| completion to select a tag (including any tags that do not have a
| selection character). The command then hides all entries that do
| not contain or inherit this tag. When called with prefix arg,
| remove the entries that _do_ have the tag. A second `/' at the
| prompt will turn off the filter and unhide any hidden entries. If
| the first key you press is either `+' or `-', the previous filter
| will be narrowed by requiring or forbidding the selected
| additional tag. Instead of pressing `+' or `-' after `/', you can
| also immediately use the `\' command.
`----
If you want to do this automatically, see
,----[ http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html ]
| 9.3 Trigger Tags
|
| The following tags are automatically added or removed by todo state triggers described previously in *ToDo state triggers
|
| * WAITING
| * CANCELLED
| * NEXT

Bastien, Memnon,
thanks for your replies. While reading the org manual, I got confused,
so my request was wrong. I sincerely apologize for wasting your time.
Now, what I'd like to achieve is that the agenda view that is brought up
by C-c a a only contains TODO and STARTED tasks, no WAITING etc.
Is this possible, or do I have to create a custom agenda view as
suggested?
Thanks
Markus

Yes, you'll have to create a custom agenda.

But that will only give me a *list* of the items, correct?
What I'd like to get is the *calendar* view that you get by hitting "C-c
a a" which only shows TODO and STARTED tasks.
After a little bit of looking around, I stumbled across org-agenda-list,
which is called by "C-c a a". Is this list I have to fiddle with?
I hope it's clear now what I mean ... Sorry about the confusion.
Cheers
Markus

Ui, custom agenda; I am not got at this, but please try this:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("!" "Testing" agenda ""
((org-agenda-skip-function
'(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'nottodo '("TODO" "STARTED")))))))
This can be totally wrong, but I did some very quick testing and it
seems to work... Just eval it in your *scratch* buffer and try.
Whether this works or not, I suggest you have a look at the excellent
Introduction to custom agendas here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.php
by Matt Lundin.
