Ben Maughan spent a bit of time getting his Org agenda view just the way he liked it. Evidently, he is more efficient and/or busier than I am because he wanted to shorten the number of keys in the shortcut to invoke the agenda. That turns out to be easy to do as he shows demonstrates at the link.
If you invoke the agenda a lot and are looking for a way to speed things up, be sure to take a look at Maughan’s post.
