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!
