Is this possible? > No, the reason for using any of org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date is to get those tasks off the global todo list. They show up in your agenda at the appropriate time and you don't need them in the global todo list at all. I work off my agenda first, and when that's clear then I go to the global todo list for other tasks - and I don't want to see anything that has a date there - since they're already set up to show up at the appropriate time on my agenda. You might be able to set up a column view that shows the scheduled/deadline date and then ignore tasks with dates in the past but I've never tried that. HTH, Bernt
