It's `x'. But I think Julian meant that the buffers should be closed automatically and not open at least as long as the agenda is shown. For the original issue I think the following would help: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun project-agenda (&optional args keys restriction) (interactive) (let ((org-agenda-files '("~/project-file1" "~/project-file2"))) (org-agenda args keys restriction))) #+end_src Or pressing `<' in the prompt buffer, for more see (describe-function 'org-agenda) Michael [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 836 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Wouldn't "x" that close the agenda as well along with the buffers? OP said: " It would be good to have the agenda open in a buffer without having all the agenda files opened too." May be a special custom agenda command that calls the above lambda function at the end would work better by limiting the damaged behaviour to just one command? /manish ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

No. The agenda buffer needs the source buffers alive to function. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

In addition, closing agenda buffers with "x" means that the next time ones call the agenda, Emacs has to load and parse all those files again, which takes much longer than simply rescanning buffers in memory. In other words, the expense of keeping the buffers open (a relatively small amount of RAM) is much less than the expense (disk IO, processing, time) of reloading the files each time one calls the agenda. In addition, pressing "x" will interrupt clocking. If the problem is difficulty scanning through and navigating to buffers in the Buffer List, ido offers a nice way to switch buffers quickly. In my experience, Emacs is better savored as a sumptuous feast than as a spartan repast. The more dishes there are on the table, the merrier everyone is. :) (length (buffer-list)) => 178 And I haven't started ERC yet. ;) Best, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
