agenda with only deadlines?

agenda with only deadlines?

[Michael Gilbert]

Hi --

I'm still struggling with this one: My main agenda view has both  
scheduled and deadlined items, but I'm interested in creating a custom  
view that shows only items who have a deadline of today or past due.  
This isn't working for me:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("d" "Due today" agenda ""
	 ((org-deadline-warning-days 0)
	  (org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown t)
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notdeadline))))
         ))

This one shows all sorts if items that have deadlines in the future,  
displaying them as scheduled. Yes, many items item have both  
timestamps. Suggestions?


TIA!

P.S. Also, the documentation often lists various settings as  
"examples". I am not an experienced emacs user, so I am curious... how  
do I go about finding comprehensive lists of settings for various  
contexts?

Hi Michael,

What about just creating a single day view?  Like

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
     '(("d" "Due today" agenda ""
	 ((org-deadline-warning-days 0)
	  (org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown t)
           (org-agenda-ndays 1)
	  (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notdeadline))))
        ))


Or did you mean that you have them scheduled for today or earlier -  
then they should of course show up today.

Or maybe I am misunderstanding the question....?
