Hello orgers,
I'm wondering how to do a simple copy/paste of a todo list from
org-mode. For instance, when I'm producing the list of all my TODOs with
C-c a t, and then filtering it using a given tag, how can I simply copy
and paste the resulting TODO list from the "Org Agenda" buffer into
another one (e.g. scratch) ? I tried to simply select and copy, but then
yanking into another buffer results in an un-filtered list of many TODOs
(which is nearly the same as the first one constructed from C-c a t, but
excludes all TODOs that appear before the first entry retained by the
filter). I also tried with org-copy-visible, but still no success.
Anybody could explain me how to do this simple task ?
Thanks a lot,
Martin

C-x C-w (bound to org-agenda-write).

Thanks for your response Nick, with the new org 8.3.3, org-agenda-write
does nearly the what I want: it selects the right filtered list of
TODOs. However, it exports all TODO's subtrees, while I want to copy
only the list of TODOs as it appears in the agenda view. Any other ideas ?

C-h f org-agenda-write RET says:
,----
| If the extension is .org, collect all subtrees
| corresponding to the agenda entries and add them in an .org file.
`----
so IIUC, all you have to do is use a file name that does not have
a .org extension.
