How can I bypass the agenda dispatcher and call a custom block agenda directly?

How can I bypass the agenda dispatcher and call a custom block agenda directly?

[Marcus Klemm]

Hello List,

I almost exclusively use a custom block agenda and want to bind it to a key 
instead of going through the agenda dispatcher. Is that possible?

Ciao, Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Certainly this is doable

(org-agenda t "a")

Just bind this to the key of your choice and substitute "a" with the
agenda you want to run.

Doesn't work for me. I get:

recursive-edit: Wrong type argument: commandp, (org-agenda t "A")

That's because you need to wrap it in a lambda function.

This should work:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (global-set-key (kbd "<f9> a") '(lambda ()
                                     (interactive)
                                     (org-agenda t "a")))
#+end_src


Peace
