I guess we could do that, but it would involve changing several functions. I would need a convincing use case before I invest the time.

Hi = Paul,

*) Is = there a simple way to construct an agenda view that:
-shows = all past scheduled events for one TODO keyword only
-skips for = all others

The only way I could figure out it could work is to = write a large
org-agenda-skip function that explicitly looks at = subtrees and
duplicates the org-scheduled-past-days check = code.

Unless I'm mistaken a block view won't work because the = value of
org-scheduled-past-days is local to the agenda command and = not each
block inside of it.

I = have not tested this, but you might be able to use the general = tags/property/todo matcher

on `C-c a m' like = this:

SCHEDULED<"<today>"/!+MYTODOKEYWORD

*) Using a defconst = symbol or function that evaluates to a stringp
in place of an actual = string in for the match field.

ex:
=      ("A" "" tags-todo = 'org-pah-todo-exclude nil nil)

=           (type-of = org-pah-todo-exclude)
=        =3D=3D> stringp

= I also tried using concat and format for that argument. The = error
is always:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: = (wrong-type-argument stringp (quote org-pah-todo-exclude))
=    string-match("/+" (quote org-pah-todo-exclude))
=    org-make-tags-matcher((quote = org-pah-todo-exclude))
   org-tags-view((4) (quote = org-pah-todo-exclude))

It seems like the evaluation order = is at fault, but I couldn't get = further.

indeed, currently the = match entry is not evaluated. I guess we could do that, but it = would involve changing several functions. I would need a = convincing use case before I invest the time. How would you want = to use this?
