[Orgmode] Command key problem in agenda view

2009-01-15 Thread Bruce Hackett
Hello, I'm learning new things about org-mode all the time. It's great! However, I have a problem with using some of the command keys in the agenda view. /, y, G, v and C-u v don't work at all, only giving a warning that the buffer is read-only. "m" does the same as "M" (phases of the moon), not t

2009-01-15 Thread Matthew Lundin
Hi everyone, Regarding wrapping of columns in tables, I noticed that one of the shortcuts listed in the manual[1] no longer works. The manual says you can use either M-RET or C-c C-q to "wrap several fields in a column". The latter keybinding, however, takes you to the headline and activates or
