Neilen,
One of my favorite agenda custom commands is the following:
-------snip--------start----------snip------------------
(("s" "Startup View" ((agenda "" ((org-agenda-ndays 3)
(org-deadline-warning-days 1))) (agenda ""((org-agenda-time-grid nil)
(org-deadline-warning-days 365) (org-agenda-entry-types (quote
(:deadline))) (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote
scheduled)) (org-agenda-ndays 1) (org-agenda-overriding-header
"Unscheduled upcoming deadlines:"))) (todo ""
(quote(org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled No Deadline TODO:
"))))))
-------snip--------end----------snip------------------
(org-agenda-ndays 3) gives me a 3 day calendar for this view
(org-deadline-warning-days 1) gives me a 1 day warning for deadlines
(you should be able to set it to 0 to get just today). Also, if you
set a custom deadline warning on the individual task it overrides the
1 day.
I also use a seperate section to show all my unscheduled TODO items
down below so they are in a separate area but on the same agenda.
If you had a custom command set to 0 and then added
----cut-----
(todo "" (quote(org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled No Deadline
TODO: ")))
-----cut-----
it would give you a second section that has all your unscheduled TODO
items at the bottom (at least it does for me in the agenda I have)
Hope this helps.
