Hello,
In the default agenda view (C-c a), the leftmost column is the org-mode file name from which the given item stems. However, I use a single file for all my actionables, and would like to eliminate this column, as it wastes 12 or so characters worth of space on the left of the agenda.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with a .emacs file snippet?
Thanks!

Not quite: it is the "category" of the item which, if absent, is
defaulted to the filename. Check section 10.4.1, "Categories", of
the org manual for more information - evaluate the following:
(info "(org) Categories")

AFAIK, you cannot eliminate it in any simple way.

Well, you can customize org-agenda-prefix-format and remove the "%-12:c" from each of the strings where you do not want the category to be shown. Note that the two leading space characters in these formats are necessary IIRC, for technical reasons.
(setq org-agenda-prefix-format
'((agenda . " %i %?-12t% s")
(timeline . " % s")
(todo . " %i ")
(tags . " %i ")
(search . " %i "))

I can confirm that this works pretty brilliantly.
Thanks, Carsten!
