Re: [O] Agenda add item, move point
I actually rarely visit the diary file; I do everything from the agenda view. In the rare cases I do need to visit the agenda file, I just switch buffers like usual (`C-x b RET`).

Ah, I didn't understand before. Okay, in this case, I don't know the answer because I use sticky agenda views and so I need to explicitly refresh to get the new entry to appear and, in that case, the cursor will be at the top of the view.

How do you go back to the agenda from the diary file? Tory S.

Re: [O] Agenda add item, move point
Fragment from my agenda.org; basically, it's almost completely just what is automatically created when you tell agenda to use an org file. It should be similar to what you have; yes, hitting tab or enter takes me to entries just fine. --8<---cut here---start->8--- * 2015 ** 2015-02 February *** 2015-02-01 Sunday DONE Give John ride to church <2015-02-01 Sun 09:30> --8<---cut here---end--->8--- My problem is just trying to find my new entry (e.g. "Give John ride to church") in the actual agenda view after creating the item; rather than going there by default when I create the item, I have to i-search my point to it.

You said this in another response. Maybe post a snippet from your agenda.org file? In my case, my diary file is in date-tree format and the entries are inserted in the current day's section.

Re: [O] Agenda add item, move point
Yes.

Have you defined org-agenda-diary-file? -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.1, Org release_8.3beta-717-gd36bd8.dirty
Re: [O] Agenda add item, move point
Your point is on the created entry? When I do `i d` the entry is created somewhere down in the midst of my big list, and I have to use C-s to search for it and then I add things (such as with `t` for todo, `C-d` for deadline, `>` for additional time details). The trouble is finding it in the list, which seems to require something like `C-s` and searching for some of the text I just entered. I'm using Org-mode version 8.2.10 (8.2.10-30-gca21b7-elpa). I'm also not using regular diary, but the following (perhaps relevant?). I would LOVE to have my point automatically go to the newly created item, as yours seems to. --8<---cut here---start->8--- (setq org-agenda-include-diary nil) ;; org-agenda (setq org-agenda-diary-file "~/emacs/agenda.org" org-special-ctrl-o nil org-agenda-span 'day) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- John Kitchin writes: > This sounds interesting, but I don't understand what you are trying to > do. > > In my agenda, when I press `i d` i get a new diary entry, and the point > is on that entry.

Re: [O] Agenda add item, move point
This sounds interesting, but I don't understand what you are trying to do. In my agenda, when I press `i d` i get a new diary entry, and the point is on that entry. But it is a diary entry with no todo, and no new org entry. Do you do something else for that? Tory S. Anderson writes: > I plan out my days in the agenda using `i d` (org-agenda-diary-entry).
