Hello orgers,

I'm wondering how to do a simple copy/paste of a todo list from
org-mode. For instance, when I'm producing the list of all my TODOs
with C-c a t, and then filtering it using a given tag, how can I
simply copy and paste the resulting TODO list from the "Org Agenda"
buffer into another one (e.g. scratch) ? I tried to simply select and
copy, but then yanking into another buffer results in an un-filtered
list of many TODOs (which is nearly the same as the first one
constructed from C-c a t, but excludes all TODOs that appear before
the first entry retained by the filter). I also tried with
org-copy-visible, but still no success.

Anybody could explain me how to do this simple task ?



C-x C-w (bound to org-agenda-write).

Thanks for your response Nick, with the new org 8.3.3, org-agenda-write 
does nearly the what I want: it selects the right filtered list of 
TODOs. However, it exports all TODO's subtrees, while I want to copy 
only the list of TODOs as it appears in the agenda view. Any other ideas ?

C-h f org-agenda-write RET says:

,

`

so IIUC, all you have to do is use a file name that does not have
a .org extension.

As simple as that ;) Thank you.

[O] Simple copy/paste of an agenda TODO list

[Martin Leduc]

Hello orgers,

I'm wondering how to do a simple copy/paste of a todo list from 
org-mode. For instance, when I'm producing the list of all my TODOs with 
C-c a t, and then filtering it using a given tag, how can I simply copy 
and paste the resulting TODO list from the "Org Agenda" buffer into 
another one (e.g. scratch) ? I tried to simply select and copy, but then 
yanking into another buffer results in an un-filtered list of many TODOs 
(which is nearly the same as the first one constructed from C-c a t, but 
excludes all TODOs that appear before the first entry retained by the 
filter). I also tried with org-copy-visible, but still no success.


Anybody could explain me how to do this simple task ?

Thanks a lot,
Martin
