Re: [O] Hiding future tasks in tags-todo agenda view
Neilen, One of my favorite agenda custom commands is the following: ---snipstart--snip-- ((s Startup View ((agenda ((org-agenda-ndays 3) (org-deadline-warning-days 1))) (agenda ((org-agenda-time-grid nil) (org-deadline-warning-days 365) (org-agenda-entry-types (quote (:deadline))) (org-agenda-skip-entry-if (quote scheduled)) (org-agenda-ndays 1) (org-agenda-overriding-header Unscheduled upcoming deadlines:))) (todo (quote(org-agenda-overriding-header Unscheduled No Deadline TODO: )) ---snipend--snip-- (org-agenda-ndays 3) gives me a 3 day calendar for this view (org-deadline-warning-days 1) gives me a 1 day warning for deadlines (you should be able to set it to 0 to get just today). Also, if you set a custom deadline warning on the individual task it overrides the 1 day. I also use a seperate section to show all my unscheduled TODO items down below so they are in a separate area but on the same agenda. If you had a custom command set to 0 and then added cut- (todo (quote(org-agenda-overriding-header Unscheduled No Deadline TODO: ))) -cut- it would give you a second section that has all your unscheduled TODO items at the bottom (at least it does for me in the agenda I have) Hope this helps.

Hi Neilen,
this was a pretty good attempt for someone who says he is new to org!
Scheduling normally has the purpose to make an item show up in your daily
agenda on a specified date. But you can use is also to hide items scheduled
in the future from the task list. Here is how:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
(c Context Next Tasks
tags-todo
TODO=\NEXT\+SCHEDULED=\\|TODO=\NEXT\+SCHEDULED=\today\
((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tag-up))
(org-agenda-overriding-header Context Next Tasks)
You can use a regexp match TODO={^\\(NEXT\\|...\\|...\\)$} to check for several
TODO keywords as once.
Another, more compact possibility that is also more easily extended to your
longer list of tasks in my-org-context-tags-alist is:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
(c Context Next Tasks
tags-todo SCHEDULED=\\|SCHEDULED=\today\/NEXT
((org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(tag-up))
(org-agenda-overriding-header Context Next Tasks)
Let me know if I need to further explain why these works - but I
guess you can figure it out?
Cheers
