The one thing that follow mode does not do is to reveal all contexts of all TODO or otherwise relevant items at once. Often my entries marked as TODO have some short text that only makes sense with its parents, such as "call again" or "reply", so when there are many of these items in the agenda, with follow mode I can only reveal the context of one at a time and have to keep all of the previous ones in short memory. Which is possible to a certain degree, but eventually reaches the limit of my short memory capacity ... When I put all headlines under a single top-level item such as "Projects", the sparse-tree does almost what I want (except that it does not aggregate multiple agenda org-files). But having a single top level parent feels a bit wrong. Til _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
