This allows the use of org-ql queries in custom agenda commands. https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql#function-org-ql-block For example, these two custom commands are equivalent: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp ;; Org Agenda tags-todo version: (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("ces" "Custom: Agenda and Emacs SOMEDAY [#A] items" ((tags-todo "PRIORITY=\"A\"+Emacs/!SOMEDAY") (agenda))))) ;; org-ql version: (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("ces" "Custom: Agenda and Emacs SOMEDAY [#A] items" ((org-ql-block '(and (todo "SOMEDAY") (tags "Emacs") (priority "A"))) (agenda))))) #+END_SRC However, the org-ql-block version runs in about 1/5th the time (0.7 seconds compared to 3.45 seconds on my collection of org-agenda-files). org-ql started as a prototype for a "next-generation agenda" called org-agenda-ng, but it evolved into its own package, which also provides tools like org-ql-agenda and org-ql-search that provide agenda-like views.

That sort of thing. :-) Well, it might also be because it used to be generally slower, and I tried to be clear about that whenever I mentioned it. :) But I've applied a lot of optimizations to it over the past few months, so it's generally pretty fast now, sometimes much faster. It's hard to make a direct comparison in some cases, depending on the complexity of the query. I plan to continue optimizing it as I'm able, so hopefully it will continue improving. > I am really glad that I was mistaken. Care to drop a few thoughts on why > this is the case? This is applicable only for ql-block or other org-ql > functions are a bit faster too? Well, it's a completely different implementation. It has two main features which attempt to make it fast: it uses regexp searches across buffers as much as possible, similar to org-agenda.el but in a more flexible way (though there's still room for improvement here, especially with complex queries); and it caches results keyed on the query, buffer, and narrowing (cached results are discarded when a buffer is modified), which avoids re-running the same queries for unmodified buffers. Oh, and it also byte-compiles query predicates and action functions to eke out a bit more speed. And in general, I run benchmarks and try to improve performance when possible; you can see some of the benchmark results in the notes.org file in the repo (not all of which are up-to-date with current org-ql code). org-ql-block is just a way to make use of the results returned by org-ql queries; other ways include org-ql-agenda, org-ql-search, and of course you can use the raw results however you like, including calling whatever :action function you like at matching entries, to return whatever kind of data you need, or even perform actions directly on entries. In other words, the querying code is separate from the display-related code, so all org-ql-block, org-ql-agenda, org-ql-search, etc. do is format results from org-ql queries and display them. Upcoming features include an org-ql-sparse-tree command, like org-sparse-tree but using org-ql queries; recursive queries; and probably a timeline view like I recently posted about.

I knew there must be someone like you out there, if only I could get the word to you! :) If you're interested, here's a demo of a new feature I plan to publish soon, a sidebar for stored view queries: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/raw/wip/refactor-org-ql-agenda/images/org-ql-view-sidebar.gif I think it will help bring a kind of feature parity with other to-do list-type software, ones where you can click in a sidebar and see items matching certain criteria displayed in a pane next to it. With org-ql's caching and such, switching between stored views can be very fast. And each one is displayed in its own buffer, so you could also e.g. show one pane with the "today" view and another with the "this week" view. If you'd like to help test it, you can use this branch: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/tree/wip/refactor-org-ql-agenda e.g.: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (use-package org-ql :quelpa (org-ql :fetcher github :repo "alphapapa/org-ql" :branch "wip/refactor-org-ql-agenda")) #+END_SRC ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

I looked at org-ql and org-super-agenda (for the first time) and they look interesting. So interesting that I've decided to convert my agendas to it, with some improvements. It took a lot of effort and was sometimes tricky (although probably not more than standard Org agendas) but the result is nice and worth it. I've sent some feedback to the GitHub issue tracker. On the positive note, org-ql + org-super-agenda is superfast, agenda definitions are much easier to read, they are also relatively easy to write (once one finds out how) and I like the added flexibility. Overall, I like it, it's nice and useful, indeed something like org-agenda-ng. Thank you for your work! Thanks, Milan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

I appreciate the feedback nonetheless. A two-day agenda could be done something like this: (org-ql-agenda (org-agenda-files) (and (or (deadline :from today :to +1) (scheduled :from today :to +1) (ts-active :from today :to +1)) (not (done))) :sort (date priority todo) :super-groups ((:auto-planning t))) To show deadlined entries taking org-deadline-warning-days into account, more like the traditional Org Agenda, use (deadline auto), like: (org-ql-agenda (org-agenda-files) (and (or (deadline auto) (scheduled :from today :to +1) (ts-active :from today :to +1)) (not (done))) :sort (date priority todo) :super-groups ((:auto-planning t))) Grouping by date in this example is done with the org-super-agenda :auto-planning selector, which uses the earliest planning timestamp in an entry. So it's not exactly like Org Agenda, but it approximates what you're asking for, and org-ql's built-in caching may provide a speedup for subsequent calls. Here's an example that's similar to the Org Agenda's Log Mode: (org-ql-agenda (or (and (not (done)) (or (habit) (deadline auto) (scheduled :to today) (ts-active :on today))) (closed :on today)) :sort (date priority todo)) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

I don't recall using the timeline view much, so I'm not very familiar with it. From your description, it's certainly possible to do that with a bit of code. Basically, it would work like this: 1. Run an org-ql query to find entries which have the type of timestamp you're looking for, with or without any date/time bounds, and with or without any additional query parameters. So the query could be as simple as, e.g. (ts) or (ts-active), or it could be something like: (and "melatonin" (ts :from -60)) Which would select all entries mentioning "melatonin" which have any kind of timestamp within the last 60 days. 2. The :action argument to org-ql would be a function which returns a list containing the necessary heading information (e.g. heading text, marker, etc.) and all timestamps found in the entry. Something like: (lambda () (list (point-marker) (org-get-heading) (cl-loop with limit = (org-entry-end-position) while (re-search-forward org-ts-regexp-both limit t) collect (match-string 0)))) 3. The results of the query would be a list of lists returned by the :action function. Then, you can do whatever you like with that. It wouldn't take much code to insert entries into a buffer with each heading on a line and its timestamps on following lines. ... Here's a quick prototype. Note that the timestamps aren't propertized, so to jump to an entry, you must use the heading; and I didn't bother to format the timestamps like Org does; and the "date" sorting actually sorts by the planning line at the moment, rather than other timestamps; but things like that can easily be polished. Note that despite my mangling it, Gnus is probably going to wrap these lines, making the code very ugly, and I can't quickly find how to stop that, so you might want to use e.g. lispy to reformat it. (cl-defun org-ql-timeline (buffers-files query) (let ((results (org-ql-select buffers-files query :action (lambda () (let* ((heading-string (->> (org-element-headline-parser (line-end-position)) org-ql--add-markers org-ql-agenda--format-element)) (timestamps (cl-loop with limit = (org-entry-end-position) while (re-search-forward org-ts-regexp-both limit t) collect (ts-parse-org (match-string 0)))) (timestamp-strings (->> timestamps (-sort #'ts<) (--map (concat " " (ts-format it)))))) (s-join "\n" (cons heading-string timestamp-strings)))) :sort '(date)))) (org-ql-agenda--agenda nil nil :strings results))) Use it like this: (org-ql-timeline (org-agenda-files) '(and "Emacs" (ts))) That produces a view like this: WAITING [#C] org-link-match struct and functions 344d ago :current:Emacs: 2018-09-13 05:54:00 -0500 2018-09-20 00:00:00 -0500 NEXT Emacs timers and frames 348d ago :current:Emacs: 2018-06-11 08:41:00 -0500 2018-06-14 20:34:00 -0500 2018-09-16 00:00:00 -0500 WAITING [#B] Emacs ~-defun~ macro idea 4d ago :current:Emacs: 2018-07-10 17:20:00 -0500 2019-08-26 00:00:00 -0500 So, a timeline view isn't currently implemented, but as you can see, it can easily be done using org-ql. Thanks for mentioning this; I'll probably add it in a future version. > also, does it support all the usual variables for leaders and faces and so on? I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Formatting of entries is not currently done exactly as in the Org Agenda, with customizable format strings, etc. It does apply faces for deadline, scheduled, overdue deadline, etc., and as you can see in the example above, it does insert a form of relative dates, similarly to the Agenda. It also adds most text properties that the Agenda does, which allows some Agenda Mode commands to work in the Org QL Search results buffer. Making the formatter more customizable is something on the to-do list, maybe for version 0.3. > it all sounds promising. > > more speed and beautiful sexps! what more could we ask for? :) That's the idea! :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

Right, it doesn't do everything Org Agenda does. Since Org Agenda does also serve as a kind of "search view," org-ql can largely serve as a replacement for that aspect of it, providing several advantages. But it doesn't implement the daily/weekly-style agenda view, so it doesn't replace that part of it. I'll probably refactor and rename it soon, removing "agenda" from the name to reduce confusion. In the future I may work on an a daily/weekly-style view as well, which might again be called org-ql-agenda. > the question is whether the display can be made similar enough to a > highly customized traditional agenda so that diff of the agenda buffer > can find any bugs in either traditional or ql agenda. In some cases, perhaps, but while I do want to add more features from Org Agenda, my goal isn't necessarily to reproduce it in every aspect. > respecting things like org-agenda-inactive-leader will reduce the need > to munge in order to make them similar enough. not a big deal. That's an interesting feature. If I do support it in the future, it will probably come after implementing a more complex Agenda-like view that will be quite different from Org Agenda. > adding text properties like the agenda does is great for that too as a > lot of user code likely uses them. so that will stop actual breakage. Yes, with respect to text properties, I do intend to copy what Org Agenda does, for the most part. Thanks for your feedback. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread
