Looks good, but like others have said, I prefer the left and right
keys to move the cursor.


(1+ vote)

Marking and copying text from the agenda is something that I do often.  
Or activating a link. So navigating in the agenda's text has its  
merits. Although I'll probably be blamed for not being a true emacs- 
devotee, but I do use the arrow keys for that...


Cheers,
Peter.

Yes, I did, it is interesting.  However, the main purpose of this
discussion if to get rid of the confusion caused by pressing the
arrow in the agenda, so I thing that really we have only the option
to make them do either cursor motion or disable them.

Your proposal, to quickly move to a far away date in a predictable
way can also be met with the j key, or by using a prefix argument
to the left/right (will be b/f) keys.

Yes.  I would spare the option.



OK, the new keys are now active, the cursor keys do cursor
motion without a message (that would quickly become annoying).

Lets try it an see how it feels.

Thanks again for the deep discussion about this issue.

Hi,

thank you everybody for this very interesting discussion.  I have
been trying to think of a way to extract common ground from the
different opinions.

Here is what I have come up with:

1. n/p remain as they where
2. Moving forward/backward though time will be `f' and `b'
3. Follow mode goes to the F key, a capital letter does
   make sense here given that some other modes like [G]rid
   and clock[R]eport and [D]iary are on capitals as well.
4. `org-agenda-tree-to-indirect-buffer' is already on
   `C-c C-x b' which is the same key as in a normal Org
   buffer.  Therefore, I think we do not need to find a
   replacement for the `b' binding.
5. The cursor keys left and right are remapped to a

We could have an option to allow users to get the time
motion or cursor motion on left/right, if there was enough
support/need for this.  I do not think that this is strictly
necessary, because every user can of course rebind keys
in any way she likes.  If we decide to use an option for
this purpose, the message shown by default with
the cursor keys could also point to the corresponding
variable.

Comments?

Please allow left and right to move the cursor.  I will often move
the cursor even in read-only buffers, just to focus on a section I want
to contemplate.  Dired allows me to do that -- even to move left of the
file name to the date or other information on a line.

As Leo wrote: ibuffer, gnus, dired  others all use 'n' for next

And with the recent mark and unmark feature inspired by dired, doing

Hi everyone,

I tend to agree with the arguments that n and p should move
vertically in the agenda buffer, because many Emacs modes do
it like this.

So it seem to me that this discussion should focus on which keys should
move the agenda forward and backward in time.

Let me say a few more words.

2. I don't mind changing left and right to normal cursor movement.

3. Uppercase N and P can be used to move the agenda to next and previous

Another solution would be to use f and b to move forward and
backward in time.  Some other Agenda bindings would have to change to
accommodate this.  Old f (org-agenda-follow-mode) could become F
which is unused.  But b and B are both used and would need to be
remapped.

Obviously this is not the easiest possible solution.  However, these
bindings would be very consistent with the conventions of most other
Emacs packages.

The agenda mode bindings are getting very crowded with many functions
and free keys are running out.  It may be time to start creating
prefix-keys/dispatchers a la Dired and Gnus.

  all use 'n' for next line and 'p' for previous line.

I think the modes that use 'n' for next line and 'p' for next/previous
line tend to be 'single page' modes (e.g., dired).  I personally
rarely use n/p even in those: C-n/C-p are automatic in my fingers and
they always work so that I do not need to be thinking which mode I am
in. On the other hand, in multi-page non editing modes (as the agenda
view), n and p are often page (or node, etc.) forward and back. I
think this is why I find it natural to remap those in org. --Man

In non-editing modes like the agenda (dired, gnus, etc.), I expect n
and p to move up and down. In my view, the standard emacs behavior is
that in read-only (non-editing) modes, n and p are reserved for
vertical motion from item to item.

If there is a change, I would recommend S-n and S-p.

I'm not married to the arrow keys changing dates.  Any keys that are

 So it seem to me that this discussion should focus on which keys should move
 the agenda forward and backward in time.

From my current knowledge of Emacs modes (using dired, Gnus, a bit of w3m, and
the like), yes, I would definitely tend to reserve `n' (next) and `p'
(previous) for vertical movements.

For horizontal ones, the common use goes for `b' (backward) and `f' (forward).

At least, if not the letters alone, combinations of those letters (like
prefixing them with Control or Meta or ...).

See (info (emacs)Moving Point) or section 7.2 of the Emacs manual.

Best regards,

 Hi,
 
 we have the proposal to do the following key changes in the agenda:
 
 1. Make the cursor keys LEFT and RIGHT do normal cursor motion again
 2. Use the keys n and p to switch the agenda to earlier
and later dates.
 
 I would like to call a vote on this issue.  Please weigh in.
 Should we make this change?  yes or no?

 No. Why would you want to do cursor motion in the agenda?

One could make part of a heading a link to, say, an email, and may want to
visit that.

I used to make the mistake (using arrows in agenda) but I learnt to replace
them with forward-word and backward-word commands.

Clockreport also shows links which can be followed with C-c C-o when
point is on them.

No and no for the same reasons Christian Egli mentioned.

You can do this without moving to the link, with `C-c C-o'.
