#+END_SRC
* Introduction
All the code we describe in this file needs loading /after/ org.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load "org"
(add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-protocol))
#+END_SRC
* Grouping
Typical agendas have an /order/ to them, but the [[https://github.com/alphapapa/org-super-agenda][org-super-agenda project]] allows you to get specific as well as group them under headings.
Unless you specify otherwise, this is the grouping we'll use:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package org-super-agenda
:after org
:init
(setq org-super-agenda-date-format "%A (%e)"
org-super-agenda-groups
'((:name "Accomplishments"
:todo ("DONE" "CANCELED")
:order 4)
(:name "End of Day"
:habit t
:order 2)
(:name "Uncompleted Work"
:todo "DOING"
:scheduled past
:order 0)
(:name "Today's Tasks"
:date today
:order 1)
(:name "Today's Tasks"
:scheduled today
:order 1)
(:name "Future Work"
:todo "TODO"
:scheduled future
:order 3))))
#+END_SRC
The task matches a group based on the /code order/, but the =:order= tag allows me to display them in a different order.
The following super agenda is just for /today/ and should be smaller:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle no
(setq ha-org-super-agenda-today
'((:name "Finished"
:todo ("DONE" "CANCELED")
:order 4)
(:name "End of Day"
:habit t
:order 2)
(:name "Today's Tasks"
:todo "DOING"
:scheduled past
:date today
:order 0)))
#+END_SRC
* Query Views
The [[https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql][org-ql project]] gives us a /query language/ of sorts (based on s-expressions).
By putting all queries under =org-ql-views=, we can then call ~M-x query~ and select the view to display:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(use-package org-ql
:after org
:config
;; Often used 'subgroup' that defines a work task
(setq ha-org-ql-typical-work-tasks
'(and (tags "work")
;; I will always be Supporting the onboarding projects,
;; but don't show them (but show descendants):
(not (and (tags "onboarding")
(heading "^Support ")))
;; Show a blocking subtask instead of the parent:
(or (not (children))
(not (descendants (todo "TODO" "DOING"))))
(not (habit))
(not (done))))
(setq org-ql-views
(list (cons "Overview: Today"
(list :buffers-files #'org-agenda-files
:query `(or (closed :on today)
(and (habit)
(not (done))
(scheduled :to today))
(and ,ha-org-ql-typical-work-tasks
(or (deadline auto)
(todo "DOING")
(scheduled :to today)
(ts-active :on today))))
:sort '(priority date)
:super-groups 'ha-org-super-agenda-today
:title "Today in Me"))
(cons "Overview: Tomorrow"
(list :buffers-files #'org-agenda-files
:query '(and (not (done))
(tags "work")
(scheduled :from tomorrow :to tomorrow))
:sort '(priority date)
:super-groups 'ha-org-super-agenda-today
:title "Overview: Tomorrow's tasks"))
(cons "Calendar: Today"
(list :buffers-files #'org-agenda-files
:query '(ts-active :on today)
:title "Today"
:super-groups 'ha-org-super-agenda-today
:sort '(priority))))))
#+END_SRC
* Agenda Interface
We can create a function to start this:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun ha-todays-agenda ()
"Display an agenda for today, including tasks and scheduled entries."
(interactive)
(org-ql-view "Overview: Today"))
#+END_SRC
And of course, a keybinding:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(ha-leader "a a" '("my agenda" . ha-todays-agenda))
#+END_SRC
* Technical Artifacts :noexport:
Let's provide a name so that the file can be required:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
(provide 'ha-agendas)
;;; ha-agendas.el ends here
#+END_SRC
Before you can build this on a new system, make sure that you put the cursor over any of these properties, and hit: ~C-c C-c~
