simple way to call `C-c a v' or a way to bind it to a key?

simple way to call `C-c a v' or a way to bind it to a key?

[Yasushi SHOJI]

Hello,

These days I hit `C-c a v' many many times a day, and now feel that
the three key combination is too much. I'd like to improve the
situation by binding the same functionality to a key, say, F12, if
possible.

Looking at the `org-agenda' dispatch code, there are quite a few lines
before calling `org-agenda-list'.  Simply binding `org-agenda-list' to
a key does not seem to work.

Is there a simple way to do it?  Or do I have to re-implement my own
function?

Thanks in advance,

instead of:

   ,-------------------------------------
   | (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
   `-------------------------------------

use:

   ,-------------------------------------------
   | (global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") 'org-agenda)
   `-------------------------------------------

Thanks, but that's still two keys away. I want a single key to call the
function.

`org-agenda' is just a dispatcher function, 'C-h f org-agenda' shows you
the specific functions you select with the second key, e.g.:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| a     Call `org-agenda-list' to display the agenda for current day or week.
| t     Call `org-todo-list' to display the global todo list.
| T     Call `org-todo-list' to display the global todo list, select only
|       entries with a specific TODO keyword (the user gets a prompt).
| m     Call `org-tags-view' to display headlines with tags matching
|       a condition  (the user is prompted for the condition).
| 
| More commands can be added by configuring the variable
| `org-agenda-custom-commands'.  In particular, specific tags and TODO keyword
| searches can be pre-defined in this way.
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

so instead of binding the dispatcher function to a global key you can
bind one or more of the specific functions, e.g.

,------------------------------------------------
| (global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") 'org-agenda-list)
`------------------------------------------------

I thought simply binding `org-agenda-list' to a key does not work in
the case with custome agenda setup.

But, it turns out that it's as simple as the following:

	(defun yashi/org-agenda (&optional arg)
	  (interactive "P")
	  (org-agenda arg "a"))
	
	(global-set-key (kbd "<f1>") 'yashi/org-agenda)

Thanks,

Hi Yaushi,

how about

(global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") (lambda () (interactive) (execute-kbd-macro (kbd "C-c a v"))))

?

best regards
Marc

P.s.: In my opinion, the name "execute-kbd-macro" of this builtin function is somewhat misleading;
"replay-keys" describes this usage closer ...

(global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") (kbd "C-c a v"))

might be a little easier to read and type. Explanation is :
global-set-key can take any "command" as argument, and the definition of
what a "command" is includes keyboard macros. That is vaguely explained
at (info "(elisp) What Is a Function") -- 2nd paragraph after the term
"command".

I think I wouldn't look for replay-keys if I did not know about the
function. My own problem is that I usually look for "call-kbd-macro",
which doesn't exist, instead of "execute-...". I guess everyone can't be
pleased !

Ah, these are nice to know.  Thanks, guys.
