Thanks!

I just found function `org-agenda-switch-to' which is similar to
`org-agenda-goto' but does not the jump to the headline.

I personally configure this function to be on shift-tab.

    (org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map [(backtab)] #'org-agenda-switch-to)

So no need for a change.


Thanks again and best regards
