Orge Agenda questions: Is it possible to remove the file names on the org agenda view?

[Qkessler]

Hi there!

Thanks so much for the plugin, loving it so far. I have been configuring my org agenda to look as much as possible to my Emacs one. Couple of questions:

• Is it possible to remove the file names from the org agenda view? I usually have very long file names (including tags and so on), making the org agenda harder to use.
• How can I create an agenda view that has WAITING and SOMEDAY headings using tags_todo? I haven't been able to find a match query that works for me, even checking the org mode documentation.

Thanks again!
Best,
Quique.

Hi,

For the first point, can you provide how you do that in emacs? I'm not sure what you mean by file name. I assume category, but let me know how you do that in Emacs.

For point two, this should do the trick:

1. WAITING or SOMEDAY: match = 'WAITING|SOMEDAY'
2. WAITING and SOMEDAY: match = 'WAITING&SOMEDAY'

For 1, here's the docs from org mode: https://doc.endlessparentheses.com/Var/org-agenda-prefix-format.html

Thanks for point 2, will try!

Edit: Here's my config, pointing at org-agenda-prefix-format: https://github.com/Qkessler/qk-emacs/blob/main/modules/qk-org-agenda.el#L6

No luck! This won't work:

            {
              type = 'tags_todo',
              match = 'WAITING&SOMEDAY',
              org_agenda_overriding_header = 'Waiting/Someday Tasks:',
            },

Ah, right, that is not supported yet. You can open up a separate issue for that.

Regarding the match, just to confirm, WAITING & SOMEDAY are tags?

[kristijanhusak]

Since WAITING somewhat implies it's a todo keyword, you can do this to match only todo keywords:

            {
              type = 'tags_todo',
              match = '/WAITING|SOMEDAY',
              org_agenda_overriding_header = 'Waiting/Someday Tasks:',
            },

Hi there! Another org-agenda question. Is it possible today to change what an action defined on the default mappings file does? Say, can I assign a function to mappings.agenda.org_agenda_refile?

I'm interested in changing the action for refiling when in the org agenda buffer. Even though I can play with ftpplugin and the FileType autocommand, wanted to see if there was something easier!

Thanks!

[Qkessler]

Just to avoid the XY problem. I'm trying to refile with telescope directly on the orgagenda buffer.

[kristijanhusak]

Support for Telescope is currently limited. There's an open issue for this nvim-orgmode/telescope-orgmode.nvim#25.
