I do most of my work from the daily view and I can't seem to get into the habit of using other views. Is this possible?

I'm a bit confused. Am I correct in understanding that you'd like to customize the agenda view but you don't want a custom agenda view? I'm not sure how that would work. ;) Or is it rather that the keybinding C-c a a is "hardwired" -- i.e., you'd like a custom agenda view mapped to that keybinding? Here are two solutions: 1. Map C-c a a to a custom agenda view: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '(("a" "Agenda" ((agenda "") (todo "STARTED"))))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- 2. For minimal customization, you could set the variable org-agenda-include-all-todo to t. In this second scenario, all your active todos will be added to a section *above* the daily agenda view. Then you can browse your "STARTED" todos. E.g., if you want to stick with basic emacs tools (rather than custom agenda commands), you could use "occur" to see all filter out your STARTED todos. A more complex option: If you want to be able to filter for your STARTED todos you could set org-todo-state-tag-triggers to tag each of your items with a custom tag, e.g., STARTED, whenever you switch to the STARTED todo state. Then typing / "STARTED" in the agenda view would show you only your started todos. Best, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

I don't have a problem with using custom agenda views, but the only ones I've been able to create are just lists of todos, with no diary grid, etc. > > Or is it rather that the keybinding C-c a a is "hardwired" -- i.e., > you'd like a custom agenda view mapped to that keybinding? > > Here are two solutions: > > 1.

I'll try this to see if it suits, but I can see straight away that the clutter might be too much. That's the whole problem with custom agenda views, that I end up with too many items when all I want to see in the normal course of the day is the diary grid and the dated and started tasks. > > A more complex option: If you want to be able to filter for your STARTED > todos you could set org-todo-state-tag-triggers to tag each of your > items with a custom tag, e.g., STARTED, whenever you switch to the > STARTED todo state.

Maybe I'll have to manually schedule anything I mark as STARTED. It's the extra step which is going to get forgotten unfortunately. > > Best, > Matt > Thanks for your suggestions!

Maybe you need to define your todo keywords appropriately? I have mine as: org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "INPROGRESS(i@)" "WAITING(w@)" "|" "DONE(d@)" "CANCELLED(c@)")) and all TODO, INPROGRESS and WAITING todos appear in the default agenda view (C-c a a) for me. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread

Mine are correctly defined, but they only appear in the daily agenda view if they have a scheduled date or deadline on them - normal behaviour I thought. I *only* want dated, scheduled, deadlined and STARTED. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread
