I'm finding that when I call org-agenda-filter-by-tag, the string of
character hints is long, with lots of duplicates. E.g.,
Filter by tag [hpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcw ]:tag-char, [TAB]:tag, [/]:off, [+/-]:filter/exclude, [q]:quit [3 times]
A git bisect reveals that this bug began with commit
2056b60aae528d0ba663d8b3804dc69e98993f1c. After a bit of investigating,
I've found the cause: org--tag-add-to-alist no longer removes duplicate
tags if they belong in a tag group.
Let me provide a minimal example to illustrate. Take the following
setting:
(setq org-tag-alist
'((:startgroup)
("home" . ?h)
("phone" . ?p)
("computer" . ?c)
("work" . ?w)
(:endgroup)))
If one has 10 agenda files (none of which has a local #+TAGS
declaration), org-tag-alist-for-agenda will end up containing those tags
multiple times:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
org-tag-alist-for-agenda is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
Its value is
(#1=(:startgroup)
#2=("home" . 104)
#3=("phone" . 112)
#4=("computer" . 99)
#5=("work" . 119)
#6=(:endgroup)
#1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6# #1# #2# #3# #4# #5# #6#)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
As a result, the help prompt for org-filter-tags-for-agenda looks like
this (notice the duplicate characters):
Filter by tag [hpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcwhpcw ]:tag-char, [TAB]:tag, [/]:off, [+/-]:filter/exclude, [q]:quit [3 times]
Best,
Matt
