I am still learning org-mode so apologies in advance:
I spend most of my org-mode time in the agenda buffer, usually
visiting the underlying files as I tidy up or review. I would like to
quickly add notes to a task as I am working on it, even if the state
isn't changing and have them appear in the right place. This seems
like something people would do often so I suspect I'm missing an
obvious mechanism.
Thanks for any pointers.
regards
Peter

Not sure I understand you correctly, but you can visit entries from
the agenda view with key TAB. If you want, org mode documentation will
give you 3 mores keys to visit entries from agenda buffer.

org-add-note will add a note. It's bound to C-c

org-add-note will add a note. It's bound to C-c C-z, so from the agenda,
you can do <RET> and then C-c C-z: you'll get a note buffer where you
can type your note; C-c C-c will insert it.

This is really nice ! But I think we should have this in the agenda
buffer so you don't have to type <RET> to go to the actuall TODO entry.

It already works like that. Just put the cursor on an agenda line and
C-c C-z and enter your note - it gets filed on the appropriate task.
