Hi, I need an org-agenda-custom-commands section for the following: list
all TODO entries, that are either scheduled for that day OR have #A
priority.  Is it possible?  Thanks in advance!

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      (quote (("r" "Richard's Daily Agenda"
               ((tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"" nil)
                (agenda "" nil)) nil nil))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It lists an "A" priority task twice if it is scheduled for today. May be
a skip condition can be added..

Thanks Manish, would it be possible to have this as a single tags-todo
section?  Ideally I would like to have something like this, so the most
important tasks can stay visually together at the top of my daily agenda
stuff:

(tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"|SCHEDULED=t|CLOCKED=t" nil)

How about blanking out the header between the two blocks.  Does
this appeal to you?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      (quote (("r" "Richard's Daily Agenda"
               ((agenda "" nil)
                (tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\""
                           ((org-agenda-overriding-header "")))) nil nil))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

> (tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"|SCHEDULED=t|CLOCKED=t" nil)

Obviously this is not a valid syntax (as of now) but what do you mean by
CLOCKED=t?

Hmm, not bad, thanks.  I need more time to experiment with it.

Yes it is confusing, I meant CLOCKED=t for the item that is currently
clocked in.

How about switching the TODO state when you clock in to a task and adding a
block to the custom agenda to inlude tasks with that state?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-clock-in-switch-to-state "STARTED")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hi Richard,

> stuff:

As Manish said, I would recommend automatically changing to a todo state
when you clock in an item.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-clock-in-switch-to-state "STARTED")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then you could create a custom agenda command like the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("n" "Now" tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"|SCHEDULED=\"<today>\"|TODO=\"STARTED\"")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hope this helps.
Matt

I don't really like this because I already use state for other purposes.

Wow, that's super.  I searched for "<today>" in the documentation and
came upon "7.3 Property searches", I've missed that very important part
of the documentation until now.

Thanks, in the end I wrote a hackish org-agenda-skip-function for my
needs.  Thank you for your input.

|     (org-back-to-heading t)
|     (setq beg (point)
| 	  end (progn (outline-next-heading) (1- (point))))
|     (goto-char beg)
|     (and (and
|           ;; CLOCKED IN entries

Usage example:

,----
|           ...
|           (alltodo "" ((org-agenda-skip-function
|                         'rk-org-agenda-skip-not-interesting)))
