Agenda: show only prio-A events with associated date/timestamp

Agenda: show only prio-A events with associated date/timestamp

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

I'd like to derive a custom agenda view that has following properties:

- show only items with associated datestamp or timestamp (same as
  «is displayed in the time grid of my usual agenda»)
- only with priority [#A]

With this, I want to get a rough overview of the most important
events and milestones of the upcoming month(s) without any
distraction by todos, minor important events, and so forth.

I do think, this would be quite handy and could replace my wall
calendar which is only available in my office.

Thanks for your help!



Examples:

* shown:        :shown:
** [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue> day with prio A
** [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue 14:00-15:00> time-span and prio A

* not shown:    :notshown:
** <2012-12-11 Tue> day without prio
** <2012-12-11 Tue 14:00-15:00> day without prio and time-span
** [#B] <2012-12-11 Tue> day with prio B
** [#A] no date, prio A
** TODO <2012-12-11 Tue> todo with date
** TODO [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue> todo with date and prio
** TODO [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue 14:00-15:00> todo with date and prio and time-span

If it is possible to differ between associated datestamps/timestamps
and deadlines/schedules, I'd prefer following:

Examples:

* shown:        :shown:
** [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue> day with prio A
** [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue 14:00-15:00> time-span and prio A
** TODO <2012-12-11 Tue> todo with date
** TODO [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue> todo with date and prio
** TODO [#A] <2012-12-11 Tue 14:00-15:00> todo with date and prio and time-span

* not shown:    :notshown:
** <2012-12-11 Tue> day without prio
** <2012-12-11 Tue 14:00-15:00> day without prio and time-span
** [#B] <2012-12-11 Tue> day with prio B
** [#A] no date, prio A, possible: DEADLINE and/or SCHEDULE

So, your usual agenda, but only priority #As ?
Or only those items with stamps that don't only signify a day but also a
time(-range)?

Why should this one be shown? It is not [#A]?

... and without todos that are do not have an associated date/time.
Yes.

- items with stamps or time or time-ranges (not including
  DEADLINE/SCHEDULED or date/time/ranges in the "body" of the item)
AND
- items with prio #A

Absolutely. My fault :-(


The idea behind this request is: only the most important milestones
and events get priority A. This way, I am able to get a quick
overview of a large period of time without much distraction.

On my wall calendar, there are only approx. 5-10 of such A-events per
month. Whereas on a normal day, I do have 5-10 (non-prio) events.
Therefore I kept my wall calendar in order to get an overview. But I
want to get rid of physical tools like this.
