[Orgmode] org-agenda-follow-mode and vertical buffers

2009-02-15 Thread Spike Spiegel
Hi, All my headlines tend to be quite short with a fair amount of notes so when I'm looking at my agenda it's very useful for me to have the follow mode on. Unfortunately the horizontal buffer causes me quite a bit of pain drastically reducing the amount of items I can see at one time while half o

Thanks for your reply. The first trick worked fine. For the second problem though, I 'd not like to cycle through the states. That's coz each time I change the state, I have to log it. So I am trying to define a single key that lets me jump straight to the DONE state (from any other state). C-c C

Hi, I heavily use the custom agenda blocks view and found myself to desire more and more to be able to set the headline for the block so instead of seeing say "Headlines with TAGS match: +CATEGORY="WrkPrj"+TODO="TODO"" I can see "Work Projects Todos". With a few blocks it'd make the screen more re

[Orgmode] Custom agenda views: todo-state-down

I'm having a little difficulty with org-agenda-sorting-strategy: If I create a tags or tags-todo view, then todo-state-down (or todo- state-up) appears to be ignored. For example: - ("P" "Priority #A tasks " tags-todo "+PRIORITY=\"A\"" ((org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t) (or

Hi all, The org manual talks about using C-u C-c C-t to change the state of a task. This command nicely throws up a list of several intermediate states to choose from. In addition, I have logging turned on, so each time I do this, I can log a note about the state change. I am merely trying to bin
