As in, if you're editing files linked in the agenda, you'd rather
leave them open and navigate to them from agenda? If so, that makes
sense. I keep nearly everything in one projects.org file but search
other files for reference material (I have an education.org for
classes I've taken at work, devel.org for goal tracking/evaluation
stuff, contacts.org, etc.). I use those other files quite rarely, so I
really only need projects.org open for the most part.


Thanks!
John
