Hello all,
I'd like to implement some sort of "interactive" search in the agenda,
as the subject says.
Consider a.org that contains something like this:
:PROPERTIES:
:Sample: S0001
:Request: R0001
:END:
and a second file that contains
:PROPERTIES:
:Sample: S0001
:Request: R0001
:END:
Both files are agenda files. What I'd like to be able to do is the
following:
1. Hit C-c a
2. In the dispatcher, hit `X'
3. I get prompted which Property I want to search for, and I enter `Sample'
4. I get prompted which value I want that property to have, and I enter
`S0002'
5. I get a list of all hits
Now, I know that I can achieve this by using
1. Hit C-c a
2. Hit `m'
3. Enter `+Sample="S0002"'
but that's too much typing for my taste.
Is there a way to achieve what I want?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

One small but (maybe) useful improvement here would be to make `C-c a m'
allow completion over properties. That would spare you a few keystrokes
already...

Yes, that would be nice. What would it look like then? Like this:
1. Hit C-c a
2. Hit `m'
3. Type +S and then hit TAB which expands to +Sample
4. Continue with ="S0002"
Is this what you're thinking about?
Cheers
Markus

Yes. But I haven't looked into the details now, so I don't know how
hard it is to implement this.

That's ok. I'm excited that you are looking into it, though.
Thanks and Cheers
