Thanks for your answer - however, I did come across those, and I don't believe they would do the job I have in mind, because items must still be explicitly labelled "TODO" before they will appear in the agenda view. What I mean is, give a file structure like this, where level 1 is a project name, and level 2 contain items to do (which are not labelled TODO items, necessarily): * SS Organised ** scrub the deck ** man the poopdeck ** DONE splice the mainbrace * Good ship lollipop ** NEXT lubber's teeth out (Beware, she bites) ** fix treadmill ** scrub the deck The workflow is TODO -> NEXT -> DONE, with TODO implicit: I consider "scrub the deck" a TODO, even though I've not added a TODO label, because it's on level >= 2. This saves typing and reduces clutter. (The level at which TODO items lie varies depending on my organisation scheme.) Then I want the TODO agenda view to look something like this, so I can print it out for reference (ideally without the duplicate TODO inserted in front of each item, as currently seems to happen, but that's probably another question): Global list of TODO items of type: ALL Available with `N r': (0)ALL (1)TODO (2)NEXT (3)DONE TODO: scrub the deck TODO: man the poopdeck NEXT: lubber's teeth out TODO: fix treadmill TODO: scrub the deck It might not be possible to do this currently, which is fine - I just want to confirm that fact. Perhaps in that case I could write my own extension, or more preferably, adapt my scheme to something which works with org-mode as it is. Cheers, N
