How to filter by tag/todo in AGENDA VIEW

How to filter by tag/todo in AGENDA VIEW

[Mark S]

Hello!

Yes, I know you can make customized views, but I could find nothing in the  
documentation showing how to customize the AGENDA view. In the  
documentation, there are example of how to use the various type functions,  
but none for the agenda type function. There must be some options that go  
with it, or some way to tell it what TODOs you want to see.

The closest thing to an example is this:

  (agenda "")

Hmm. What goes inside of ""?

I know how to filter inside the TODO list, but I can't seem to find how  
your filter inside of the agenda view. Is there a way? In particular, I  
want to filter out all the TODO keyword items so I can see just the  
non-todo schedules and deadlines.


Thanks!
Mark

Nothing. The "" corresponds to the match slot within a custom agenda
command. With todo and tags searches will search for a match, the agenda
does not.

You can use org-agenda-skip-function. See:

(info "(org) Special agenda views")

For the scenario above, you could use:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-add-agenda-custom-command
 '("x" "Agenda without todos" agenda ""
   ((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'todo 'todo)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt

Hi Mark

Yes, there are several filters for the block of type agenda. These are
the notes that I made to remember me of them:
- org-agenda-entry-types
- org-agenda-skip-function
  - "match" can be implemented with 'regexp/'notregexp
- org-agenda-skip-*
- org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled
  see also org-agenda-skip-function 'scheduled/'timestamp
- org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines
  see also org-agenda-skip-function 'deadline/'timestamp
