BTW, `t' is the default setting for that anyway. E Thanks, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University

What do I do about this? I accept the possibility that my workflow (i.e., structure of Org entries) is broken - then, how to fix it? What about assigning categories? * Some person :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: some person :END: ** Some action to be done DEADLINE: 2014-12-08 Mon * Some other person :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: some other person :END: ** Some action to be done DEADLINE: 2014-12-08 Mon -- Kyle

For a handful of cases, this seems like an ok approach to distinguish tasks from different subtrees, but it would get tedious if that pattern occurs frequently across your agenda. (even though I don't really like it - I prefer my categories to be /very/ broad, corresponding to /files/ - think research, personal, teaching etc. It's just a habit of mine, though, and I allow myself to change these from time to time;-). Yes, I prefer broad categories too, so that makes sense to me. -- Kyle
