Keeping agenda window

Keeping agenda window

[Radosław Grzanka]

Hello,
   I'm pretty new user of emacs and orgmode. Here is my problem that I 
tried to solve for couple of days now.
When I open agenda window it splits my frame horizontally - I browse my 
agenda and that is great.
     However, if I follow the link to one of my outlines it opens in the 
window of agenda - this is not what I want. I want it to open in my 
upper window (preferably moving cursor and focus there) and leave the 
agenda window intact so I can still see it.
   I've browsed 'org-customize' but foud no variable responsible for 
such behaviour. Could someone point me in the correct direction?

Org-version 6.36c Emacs version 23.2.1 on windows.

Thanks,
   Radek.

Radek,
 have you tried 'org-agenda-follow-mode'?
 [ yes, I did see you write "..if i follow the link to one of my outlines.." in your email :) ]

Hello,
   thank you for your reply. I did not know about follow-mode but it 
seems it is not working like described here: 
http://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-commands.html

It says:
  "In Follow mode, as you move the cursor through the agenda buffer, the 
other window always shows the corresponding location in the Org file." .
  Unfortunately it does not work like that. It doesn't "ALWAYS" show 
location - only when I enter follow-mode with "F".

   Either way, it is really nice feature (if it works like described) 
but it still does not work like I want it. I want to be able to hit 
'RET' in agenda buffer and move cursor to other window to location of 
the heading keeping agenda display in bottom window.

Thanks!
   Radek.

I might have not written this clearly. From description it seems that 
follow mode, once activated should change the content of the other 
window whenever I change cursor position in agenda buffer. It does not. 
It changes content of the other window only upon activation (hitting 
'F') and then does nothing. It says "Follow" in status bar but seems to 
do nothing until I quit Follow mode and enter it again.

I knew it was supposed to be simple! Thank you very much. This is 
exactly what I wanted - thanks.

Radek.

Follow mode works as described here. What precisely is not working for
you?

Try TAB (org-agenda-goto).

Follow mode is off by default when you start the agenda.  You can
change this with org-agenda-start-with-follow-mode.

RET replaces the agenda with the item.  TAB does what you want I think.

Strange.  If I bring up the agenda (C-c a a) and then invoke follow
mode (v f), when I move down or up (n or p) in the agenda view, the
other window gets updated with the entry on the current line.  You
should not have to hit TAB, although TAB is useful when you are not in
follow mode of course.

What version of org-mode are you using?

Hello,
   Thanks for reply. If I use n or p it works. If I use arrow keys 
(which I always do) it does not. So I guess I'm not using it as inteded.

Thank you,
   Radek.

Arrow keys work just fine here for follow mode.  Something is not right
in your setup.  What org-mode version are you using?  (M-x org-mode)

Sorry this should be (M-x org-version)

arrow keys work fine for me (and also for Bernt Hansen, as he says in
another message).  What are your arrow keys bound to?  Try "C-c h"
followed by an arrow key (say down) to see what command will be
invoked.  In my case, it is

<down> runs the command org-agenda-next-line

which is the same command that will be invoked if you hit "n".

Use the [Tab] key instead of [Enter]
