Thank you, it worked great! I wonder whether the documentation of
=org-agenda-custom-commands= could be expanded around the =settings=
parameter, so as to make it easier to find this solution by oneself? I
don't know myself the list of settings that could go there, though, so
couldn't really write it myself unfortunately :/

This works, however it splits the =TODO= and =WAITING= tasks in two
different sections in the display. I think Nick's solution is a bit
closer to what I tried to do here, as it mixes the two keywords in one.
Thank you!

[General disclaimer: I can never remember what goes where in
org-agenda-custom-commands, and it's
all untested. Tread carefully.]
I don't think the "todo" type can do that. You might want to use the "tags"
type with a search
- see
(info "(org) Matching tags and properties")
It should be something like
tags "TODO=TODO|WAITING"
or maybe
tags "TODO=\"TODO|WAITING\""
or maybe
tags "TODO=\"TODO\"|TODO=\"WAITING\""
(or maybe something else :-) ).

Maybe (org-agenda-span 'month)?

Does changing your "E" entry to this help at all?
,
| (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
| '(("U" "Unscheduled tasks"
|todo '("TODO" "WAITING")
|((org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled tasks")
| (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'scheduled

":Effort:" 'todo '("APPT")))
| (org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled nil)
| (org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines nil)
| (org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp nil)
`
By the way, the documentation for the `org-agenda-custom-commands'
variable says that the third entry should be "a single keyword for TODO
keyword searches", so the '("TODO" "WAITING") you have may be partly why
things are not working how you expect? You may want to try a compound
one like this:
,
| (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
| '(("U" "Unscheduled tasks"
|todo '("TODO" "WAITING")
|((org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled tasks")
| (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'scheduled
| ("E" "Effortless tasks"
|((todo "TODO")
| (todo "WAITING"))
|((org-agenda-overriding-header "Effortless tasks")
| (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp
":Effort:" 'todo '("APPT")))
| (org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled nil)
| (org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines nil)
| (org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp nil)

Hello all!
Just trying to bump this question: How does one make an agenda view that
includes tasks that are already scheduled for later?

[O] Making an agenda that includes scheduled-for-later tasks?
Hello all!
I am trying to make an agenda view of all tasks that don't have the
:Effort: property set, including tasks that are scheduled for later.
My init.el files includes the following lines (of interest is the "E"
agenda):
```
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("U" "Unscheduled tasks"
todo '("TODO" "WAITING")
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Unscheduled tasks")
(org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'scheduled
("E" "Effortless tasks"
todo '("TODO" "WAITING")
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Effortless tasks")
(org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp
":Effort:" 'todo '("APPT")))
```
However, for some reason only tasks that are either not scheduled or
scheduled for some time in the past show up in this agenda. This makes
it useless, as the point is to remember to put in efforts for every
task *before* they are scheduled (and thus started)
Do you have an idea what I could have missed?
Thanking you in advance,
Leo
PS: Also, I've noticed setting =todo '("TODO" "WAITING")= is apparently
not enough to get it to ignore the APPT-tagged items, so I've added the
filter to =org-agenda-skip-entry-if=. If you have an idea what I'm doing
wrong…
