Feature Request: horizontal split for agenda view

Feature Request: horizontal split for agenda view

[Jan Rehders]

Hi,

on widescreen displays splitting the window vertically for `org- 
agenda' will use the screen space inefficiently. An option to use  
horizontal split windows would be nice. I tried to hack this together  
myself but could not figure out where the splitting happened. Any  
pointers would be appreciated (and simply adding it to org-mode would  
be appreciated even more :)).

greetings,
Jan

Hi Jan,

the splitting happens in the function org-prepare-agenda in the file  
org-agenda.el.

FWIW, you can define your own function and use 
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ToggleWindowSplit

Hi,

for future reference here is my solution:

;; patch org mode to use vertical splitting
(defadvice org-prepare-agenda (after org-fix-split)
   (toggle-window-split))
(ad-activate 'org-prepare-agenda)

Using the `toggle-window-split' from http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ToggleWindowSplit

Thanks to both of you for your help :)
