I had put my initial implementation of multiple agenda buffers and
sticky agenda support on [email protected]:7max/org-mode.git branch
multiple-agenda-buffers.
To enable, use M-x org-toggle-sticky-agenda
In order to take full advantage of the sticky agenda, you need to give
your various agendas different buffer names, you can do it by
including `org-agenda-buffer-name' into the list of bound variables in
`org-agenda-custom-commands'
For example:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("a" "Agenda and NEXT (priority)"
((agenda ""
((org-agenda-span 'day)))
(tags-todo "/!NEXT"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next Tasks")
(org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options t)
(org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t)
(org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines t)
(org-tags-match-list-sublevels t)
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy
'(priority-down category-keep)))))
((org-agenda-buffer-name "*Agenda*")))
("t" "TODO entries"
todo ""
((org-agenda-buffer-name "*Todo List*")))))
When sticky agenda is enabled, most of org-agenda Emacs variables
become buffer local, and org-agenda-quit is changed to bury the buffer
instead of killing it. Correspondingly org-agenda will show previously
buried buffer if it exists, instead of re-generating it.
This allows user to have many "mini-agendas" and switch between them
rapidly
I would appreciate any bug-reports about things not working, and of
course patches or fixes for them. The most likely cause of any
breakage is that `org-agenda-local-vars' list needs adjusting and/or
fixing.
Regards
Max
