Re: Org-agenda - show content outline from multiple org files

Hi Bernt,

Sorry for the long delay - I couldn't find a way to edit the post (I don't have an account).

Yes, this is what I was looking for.
I also added the functions below to step through the headings and open them in different buffer

Thanks for the help.

(defun org-agenda-show1 (&optional full-entry)

With prefix argument FULL-ENTRY, make the entire entry visible
if it was hidden in the outline."

  (let ((win (selected-window)))

        (let ((org-show-entry-below t))
          (org-agenda-goto1 t))
      (org-agenda-goto1 t))

Hi Avner,

Maybe this is close to what you are looking for?

(setq org-tags-match-list-sublevels t)
C-c a m LEVEL<4 RET

should show levels 1-3 in all files with sublevels indented.  Sorting by priorities and things is going to mess up the order in the list.

For me only the TODO keywords are coloured and indentation is done with leading dots in the agenda view but you can visit and modify the headings directly from the agenda.

HTH.

Bernt
