Skipping deadlined items until scheduled day in agenda

Skipping deadlined items until scheduled day in agenda

[Robert Goldman]

I would like to be able to skip entries in a daily agenda view if they
are being displayed because of the deadline, but they have been scheduled.

For example, if I have a TODO whose deadline is 7 days in the future,
but I have scheduled to do it two days in the future, I don't want to
see it in my daily agenda for today or tomorrow.  Scheduling it has
committed me to do it two days from now, so I don't want to clutter up
my agenda view today.

This seems like almost the opposite of
org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown.

I have looked at some examples, but I'm not finding the answer.  It
seems like the skip-if stuff can only test the org item, not the org
item in a particular context (i.e., what I want is something like skip
this if it's got a deadline and a scheduled time and this org agenda
line is before the scheduled time).

I will have a look in the source for
org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is- shown and can probably reverse
engineer that to do what I want, but I thought I'd see if anyone has
already done this.

thanks,
r

Almost, but not quite the opposite.

This can now be done using the variable
`org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled'

This is excellent news.  Which version did introduce this?

Thanks,

Git master for now, will eventually be in release 6.35, but that may  
still be some time away.
