Planner serves a wide variety of users. Presumably the user who contributed the function thought that it was worthwhile listing completed tasks, and in fact, one of the more common requests we have is for the ability to view completed tasks for reporting and assessment purposes. Makes sense to me. Tab completion for status prompts is on the to-do list. Please read the function doc string more closely, as you can in fact view tasks that are not on date pages if you give it the right arguments. The reason for the default to list only tasks on day pages is to avoid listing tasks multiple times. -- John Sullivan Emacs Planner Maintainer http://www.wjsullivan.net/PlannerMode.html GPG Key: AE8600B6 _______________________________________________ Planner-el-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/planner-el-discuss
