It's a little hard to know what's wrong with org-agenda-sticky, but a tag-based way of doing this would be to use a #+FILETAGS: line at the top of each of your files. That automatically adds any tag in that line to the whole file, so you can de-facto filter by files.

That's exactly what I did initially. But I find it more elegant to build the agenda once (let's say for both office and home) and then hit a key to filter/restrict the scope to just one broad context (let's say office tasks and appointments), instead of rebuilding the agenda all the time. -- rene

That automatically adds any tag in that line to the whole file, so you can de-facto filter by files. I've tried this and it works. In order to keep my predefined tags (defined with org-tag-alist) along with the FILETAGS I just had to define them with org-tag-persistent-alist. Unfortunately this prevents the fast-tag-selection from working when calling org-capture. Any idea on how to keep the fast-tag-selection mechanism? -- rene

Hi Rene, Rene jl...@yahoo.com writes: But once in a while I'd like to dynamically narrow down my list of agenda entries to either one of these files. I tried to play with org-agenda-filter-by-tag or org-agenda-filter-by-category but to no avail. Use a #+CATEGORY: property on top of each file, then use in the agenda to filter by the category the cursor is on. Is there some kind of org-agenda-filter-by-file piece of code somewhere? No, but you can have a category per file and filter per category, which does the same. Always, you can narrow down the scope of the agenda *before* creating the agenda, with C-c a [yourkey] -- the means to narrow down to the current buffer. Hope this helps, -- Bastien

I do already have first level headlines each with its own CATEGORY in which I refile my tasks. Therefore the #+CATEGORY: property on top of the file does not appear in the agenda view unfortunately.

I'd have loved though to be able to switch from one view (home+office view) to another (office view) without having to reconstruct the whole agenda. -- rene
