Casual Agenda

Charles Choi is announcing another member of his casual suite: Casual Agenda. Like the other members of his suite, Casual Agenda provides a Transient driven menu that helps you navigate the arcane functionality of Org Agenda View.

I say “arcane” because although it’s easy to use Agenda View to simply list the content of the target files, there’s a lot more functionality hidden in obscure commands that even if you know they exist are hard to remember. Remembering the commands is even harder because Org makes them context sensitive.

Take a look at Choi’s post to see the menus and how they work with each other. It’s a nice system and probably worth installing even if you don’t use the commands often. Especially if you don’t use them often.

I know these command exist but I can never figure out how to access them so I’m really glad to see this latest addition to Choi’s suite. If you’re in the same situation, you should consider installing Casual Agenda.

You can, alternatively, simply install Casual Suite to get all the apps in the collection. This has the advantage that you automatically get additions to the suite when Choi adds them. All the apps have to be invoked explicitly so they never get in the way. If, like me, you follow Choi’s recommendation to bind them all to Ctrl+o, you need only remember a single command to bring up the appropriate menu when you need it.

As I’ve said before, I really like this set of applications and recommend you install the ones you need or possibly just install the entire suite.
