I also used to experience this problem a while ago. And then I picked up some code in this list that highlight the current agenda line: (add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook '(lambda () (hl-line-mode 1))) (I think that's the code anyway.) And now I *never* go off in the weeds with my Right & Left keys. For me, I think I use the cursor to help my eyes focus on something. Usually in the agenda the cursor is off to one side. I want to move it to the column I'm actuallly looking at, so I "lean" on it for about the right key-repeat time to get it there. That would throw the agenda several months in the future. But that all stopped once I started using that hightlight code above. My $.02 -Dale -- Dale P.
