I like to be able to view a list of tasks that need to be done today,
along with warnings of any upcoming deadlines within the next few days.
The number of "deadline warning days" that I require varies from time to
time, so I have one of my agenda commands set up like so:
("d" "Daily Action List"
((agenda
""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "== TO BE DONE TODAY ==")
(org-agenda-span
(quote day))
(org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled t)
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy
(quote
(habit-up time-up todo-state-up deadline-up timestamp-up
priority-down)))
(org-deadline-warning-days
(string-to-number
(read-string "Number of warning days [0]: " nil nil "0")))))))
This allows me to interactively specify the number of "deadline warning
days" when creating the agenda. Sometimes I need to refresh the agenda
(org-agenda-redo), but this means that I need to re-enter the "Number of
warning days" each time the agenda refreshes.
What I would like to do is somehow store the value within the agenda,
and use the stored value when refreshing the agenda (rather than
re-entering it each time org-agenda-redo is called).
I know that agenda filters persist when the agenda is refreshed, so I'm
looking to do something similar with my custom value. I've experimented
with trying to set the variable as a buffer local value, but without
success.
Is this possible? If so, any ideas how?
