Q: Show all WAITING, regardless of the date about org-super-agenda HOT 8 CLOSED

it only displays items which are WAITING on the specific day.

That's what the Org Agenda does. If you want a list of all tasks regardless of time, you should use a different command, like org-todo-list.

BTW, you should probably remove the (org-super-agenda-mode) forms from those commands. org-super-agenda-mode is intended to be activated once and left on all the time. If you don't want groups for a certain command, bind org-super-agenda-groups to nil around that command.

Hi André,

If you don't care whether they have a due date, then leave off the :date nil part. Just use:

(:todo "WAITING")

That will match any "WAITING" item and the group will be named automatically.

BTW, for due dates specifically (i.e. "DEADLINE" in Org), use the :deadline selector.

Hi Alphapapa

Thanks - Hm ... I tried that, it only displays items which are WAITING on the specific day.

My whole config looks like this, with the "Roggwil" part being relevant.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
	'(("c" "Simple agenda view"
	   ((tags "PRIORITY=\"A\""
		  ((org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'todo 'done))
		   (org-agenda-overriding-header "High-priority unfinished tasks:")))
	    (agenda "")
	    (alltodo "")))
	  ("r" "Roggwil-Tasks" agenda
	   (org-super-agenda-mode)
	   (
	    (org-agenda-span 2)
	    (org-super-agenda-groups
	     '((:log t)
	       (:name "Roggwil"
		      :tag "roggwil")
	       (:name "WAITING"
		      :todo "WAITING"
		      :order 98))
	     ))
	   (org-agenda-list)
	   )
	  ("A" "Super-Agenda" agenda
	   (org-super-agenda-mode)
	   (
	    (org-agenda-span 2)
	    (org-super-agenda-groups
	     '((:log t)  ; Automatically named "Log"
               (:name "Schedule"
                      :time-grid t)
               (:name "Today"
                      :scheduled today)
               (:name "Due today"
                      :deadline today)
               (:name "Overdue"
                      :deadline past)
               (:name "Due soon"
                      :deadline future)
               (:name "Unimportant"
                      :todo ("SOMEDAY" "MAYBE" "CHECK" "TO-READ" "TO-WATCH")
                      :order 100)
               (:name "Waiting..."
                      :todo "WAITING"
                      :order 98)
               (:name "Scheduled earlier"
                      :scheduled past))))
	   (org-agenda-list)
	   )
	  ("u" "UPC" agenda "upc" ((org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards (concat org-directory "/upc.org")))))))

This (C-c a r) shows me today's tasks tagged with "roggwil", today's "WAITING" taks, today's "Other items" (which is org-agenda-list) and tomorrow's "Other Items".

Lisp has far too many brackets for my brain - freaking out ;)

Darn, I really need to get through that bloody lisp tutorial one day. Removing the (org-super-agenda-mode) tells me that (org-agenda-span 2) is wrong...

Never mind, you pointed me in the right direction. Thanks a lot for answering these basic questions.

from org-super-agenda.

Well, the structure of the org-agenda-custom-commands variable can be a bit confusing. You can bring up the documentation with C-h v org-agenda-custom-commands RET.

The problem is that (org-super-agenda-mode) was taking up the match spot. Try replacing it with an empty string, "", and I think it will work then.

Going to close this now, but feel free to reply.

So if I understand correctly, items matched only by keyword still have to have a timestamp that would cause them to show up on the day? So to get items to actually show up in the "Waiting" group, you would still need to schedule them for the day?

@lhindir Your question relates not to org-super-agenda but to Org Agenda. This package does not select items to be displayed, it only groups the ones that are selected by Org Agenda (or org-ql, if you're using it).
