Yes, David is right, in the case demonstrated by your screenshot, the customize interface asks for the sexp "'all" -- not just "all", since the value of the variable is indeed "'all" -- not "all" :) > If this is the case, shouldn't this be a > dropdown menu with "sexp" as an option for entering your own symbols? I'm not sure what you mean. Defining local settings lets you pick up a local setting from a list (defined in org-agenda-custom-commands-local-options). When selecting the last choice "Any variable", it lets you define a variable that is *not* in this list (there are so many of them available!) -- such a variable asks for a sexp. > It's just a minor gripe, and one for which I would submit a patch if I > knew enough elisp. Maybe I misunderstood what you ask... please rephrase if necessary :) Best, -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
