[O] Hotlist agenda view: how to simplify its expression?
Hello, Suppose I want a convenient way to see my most important tasks, the ones which: - are due soon (in the next 7 days), or - have a high priority (#A), or - are FLAGGED. If I don't mind having the entries mixed, this is quite simple and short: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands '(H Hotlist tags-todo DEADLINE=\+1w\|PRIORITY=\A\|FLAGGED ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future))) t) #+end_src Though, if I want 3 different blocks (in the above order) with *no repetition* of entries, I need to write such a monster expression: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'org-agenda-custom-commands '(I Hotlist ((tags-todo DEADLINE=\+1w\ ((org-agenda-overriding-header Due in next 7 days))) (tags-todo PRIORITY=\A\+DEADLINE=\\|PRIORITY=\A\+DEADLINE\+1w\ ((org-agenda-overriding-header High priority))) (tags-todo FLAGGED+PRIORITY=\\+DEADLINE=\\|FLAGGED+PRIORITY=\\+DEADLINE\+1w\|FLAGGED+PRIORITY\A\+DEADLINE=\\|FLAGGED+PRIORITY\A\+DEADLINE\+1w\ ((org-agenda-overriding-header Starred ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future))) t) #+end_src Do you see a way to optimize it (make it shorter)? On the problems relies in the fact that the inverse of DEADLINE=+1w is DEADLINE=|DEADLINE+1w that is 2 tests to be done. The same applies for the priorities: the inverse of PRIORITY=\A\ is PRIORITY=|PRIORITYA Hence, an exponential number of checks every time you want to remove duplicated entries (which would have been displayed in the previous block): you double the number of subexpressions in the next block... Any better idea? Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
