Inverse matching with '/' in agenda view?

Inverse matching with '/' in agenda view?

[James Harkins]

Maybe a useful feature request, if it hasn't already been proposed.

I just recently discovered '/' in the agenda view, but sometimes I would like to use it to remove tags from a to do list, e.g.

/ (tab) -Docs

... to show everything in the to-do list that is not about writing documentation. But as far as I can see, it treats "-Docs" as a literal string to match exactly, so all the items are removed.

Currently, it seems my options are:

1. Use the standard todo-tags-match, which doesn't use my custom sorting and block structure.

2. Or, define a new custom agenda command every time I want a different set of tags. (Not so interactive.)

Any tips? Thanks!
James

Hi!

I'd like to follow this up with a feature request on inverse matching on
'<', since the inverse of the tag-matching was resolved so fast ;)

It would be neat to be able to hide categories in the agenda as well.

Kind regards
Gustav

Is a resolve in the past enough fast? ;-)

commit bfe8ec1fceaee2d9c5bdf88c574720bebf2e7f7a
Author: Bastien Guerry <bzg@altern.org>
Date:   Tue Apr 10 22:25:53 2012 +0200

    org-agenda.el: Fix inconsistency in `org-agenda-filter-apply' for
category filters.

    * org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-make-matcher)
    (org-agenda-filter-apply): Allow filtering entries out by
    category.  Using `C-u <' from the agenda view will redisplay
    the agenda without entries from categories of the current
    line.

    Thanks to John Wiegley for pointing this out.

Michael
