I particularly like having a graphical view of my commitments, especially for a month, without worrying about detail. Org's agenda view becomes cumbersome (for me) when going beyond a week's view (or even a day sometimes...) [1]. what I would like, however, is that the detailed view that is accessible from hitting the space bar in the cfw view put me into an agenda view for that day. that would then give me full access to org! this should be quite simple: replace the detail view with a simple invocation of the default org-agenda view (what you get from C-c a a, say) for that particular date? just some thoughts! thanks, eric Footnotes: [1] I often use Google's calendar for this, having uploaded all my org details but I don't expect to use Google to update my org files. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.580.g301b34)
