limit agenda to particular tag?

limit agenda to particular tag?

[John SJ Anderson]

  Is there a way to display an agenda (like 'C-a a' does) but have it
  limited to items that have a particular tag? (E.g., so I can see only
  '@WORK' items when at work.) 

thanks,
john.

Either use your agenda and use / to limit the view to what you want.
Or create a custom agenda command: I have something like this:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("f" "Agenda without Items tagged xyz" 
         ((agenda ""))
         ((org-agenda-show-log nil)
          (org-agenda-ndays 1)
          (org-agenda-log-mode-items '(state))
          (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp ":XYZ:"))))
        ;; other commands here
        ("d" "Agenda only Items tagged xyz" 
         ((agenda ""))
         ((org-agenda-show-log nil)
          (org-agenda-ndays 1)
          (org-agenda-log-mode-items '(state))
          (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp ":XYZ:"))))
        ;; other commands here
	("w" todo "WAITING")
	("g" todo "STARTED")
        ))

  I couldn't get the custom-commands code you posted to work, but the
  'C-c a a / TAG' thing you and Matthew both pointed out is exactly what
  I was looking for -- thanks to both of you.

For me the the custom-commands did not work eitther.

It seems that somehow iy does not take the inherited tags.

I tried to avoid appearing the :WEEKLY: tags in another agenda view but it
did not worked



I tried


    ("li" "eliminating WEEKLY tags"
     agenda ""
     ((org-agenda-ndays 7)          ;; agenda will start in week view
      (org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all t)   ;; ensures that
repeating events appear on all relevant dates
      (org-agenda-log-mode-items '(state))
      (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp
":WEEKLY:")
                     )
      )
     )
