Org-agenda follow and narrow

Hello,

With Org-agenda, I use a more and more the mode Follow
(org-agenda-follow-mode). It's very useful to remind me to look at the
entire task, instead of only its title.

But if a task is in a file with a lot of other tasks, when the Follow
mode show it, it's too much information for me on the screen. I'm easily
distracted.

Is there a way for Follow mode to automatically narrow to task it show
(and its children headings/tasks) ?

I found nothing on the manual and the only thing I found on the web
suggest to use an advice. Maybe there is another way ?

Best regards

Thank you very much. :)

That exactly what I was searching for. 

Is it possible to fix the size of the new window ?
When it open a habit task, because of the logbook, the new window is soo
big that it make the agenda no more visible.

You can configure everything via `display-buffer-alist'.
Here is an example entry I use for *Warnings* buffer:

("\\*Warnings\\*" display-buffer-at-bottom (window-height . 0.3))
