Dear all,
here is a patch implementing category filtering in the agenda.
The patch is not 100% clean wrt documentation, but I throw it
now to get some feedback and some testing done.
Press in the agenda to filter by category.
Press to filter by the category of the entry point.
Another / / removes the filter. / + filters by the
default category (General) since everything is in a category.
I find this last function quick and useful, so I also implemented
it for tag filtering: pressing / / filters by tags from the entry
on the current line. A second / / removes the filter.
Let me know if the category filtering works ok with you, and
if you find the new / / behavior useful.
There is one limitation for now: it does not combine with Effort
filtering.
Thanks,
From 948a38b403125359b59c5f5d520be6d053599b0d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
