Hi all

im wondering if anyone knows a way (or if its possible at all) to have
multi letter agenda commands, for example

("fc" "to cook"  tags "Cuisine=\"American\""
          (
         (org-agenda-files '("~/org/files/agenda/food.org"))
    (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)) ;;  Sort by priority
where priority goes first.

)
)

("fa" "to cook"  tags "Cuisine=\"Asian\""
          (
         (org-agenda-files '("~/org/files/agenda/food.org"))
    (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(priority-down)) ;;  Sort by priority
where priority goes first.

)
)

where i would press f then a or c to launch the appropriate agenda command

thx so much

I don't know.  Try it and see?  More often than not, when it comes to
org, what you want is already possible! :-)

I didn't try Eric's advice but it is probably a good idea ;)

This is pretty easy to do with a hydra menu. Here is a super simple
example. See https://github.com/abo-abo/hydra.

(defhydra hydra-agenda (:color red :hint nil)
  "Agenda hydra"
  ("fd" (org-tags-view nil "TODO=\"DONE\"") "DONE")
  ("ft" (org-tags-view nil "TODO=\"TODO\"") "TODO")
  ("fa" (org-tags-view nil "TODO=\"ASSIGNED\"") "ASSIGNED"))

This creates a command hydra-agenda/body that will give you a menu with
hints. I love hydras for this kind of thing.

It's already built in to custom agendas.  See
http://pages.sachachua.com/.emacs.d/Sacha.html#unnumbered-80 for excellent
agenda examples.  Sacha is a great resource for most things org

And there's also the manual. ;)

"The initial string in each entry defines the keys you have to press
after the dispatcher command C-c a in order to access the command.
Usually this will be just a single character, but if you have many
similar commands, you can also define two-letter combinations where the
first character is the same in several combinations and serves as a
prefix key."
