Sometimes I can't tell in my agenda what a TODO item is because it's out of context. For instance, if in my org file it says * Client XYZ * TODO Call Bob about paperwork SCHEDULED: 2012-10-15 Mon Then in the agenda it says: Monday15 October 1012 work:Scheduled:TODO Call Bob about paperwork This is good but sometimes I wonder which Bob or what paperwork it's talking about. For me I think it would be nicer if the heading it's under would also appear, so the agenda view would look like: Monday15 October 1012 work:Scheduled:Client XYZ TODO Call Bob about paperwork so I have a bit more context. Perhaps other lines could be displayed too depending on the settings. The modeline should show the path of your agenda item when you move around in the agenda. ie. file.org/Client XYZ/Call Bob about paperwork You can also use E in the agenda to add a few more lines of context from your tasks to the agenda. Maybe that will help? Regards, Bernt
[O] multiline agenda and/or two-pane agenda selection
Hi all, I hope this isn't in the FAQ or documentation---I tried to look through both according to the instructions but this seems like a basic question so my apologies if I'm missing something stupid. I'm starting to use org-mode and its agenda view and like it a lot. However, I would like to modify it so one of two things happen: 1) Easy agenda navigation --- Currently I like how I can press Enter (bound to org-agenda-switch-to apparently) in the agenda view and it will show me the relevant spot in an org file. However, it replaces the agenda view with the org file, meaning I have to switch back to the agenda file and press extra keystrokes. I almost always use emacs with two windows open (tiled side by side in one frame). Is it possible for Enter to open up the org file in the other window, leaving the agenda window unchanged? I found the org-agenda-window-setup command, but it seems to govern how the agenda window is displayed instead of how the agenda opens other windows. 2) Multi-line agenda listings -- If that isn't possible or recommended, it would be nice if I could have a bit more information at a glance in the agenda view. Sometimes I can't tell in my agenda what a TODO item is because it's out of context.

Nick You can also try the follow mode, with the key F in the agenda view. And then move with n and p. If you like it and would like to make it by default, just add (setq org-agenda-start-with-follow-mode t) in your .emacs . It will perhaps even solve your second point? François.
