Include SCHEDULED items in agenda

amoghpj commented 3 years ago

Hi, thanks for the great tool! I understand that "deadline" and "scheduled" mean specific things in org-agenda. When I plan my day out, I tend to use "scheduled" items to block of specific times of the day. I would like these to show up in the agenda as well.

Currently, I have naively duplicated the "deadline" logic on line 183 of agenda.py and replaced deadline with "scheduled" and it does what I want.

if node.scheduled:
    d = node.scheduled.start
    key = d.year, d.month, d.day
    day_events = self.events.get(key, [])
    day_events.append( Event(heading, node.scheduled.start, special=True) )
    self.events[key] = day_events

However, it would be nice to have features (colors maybe) to distinguish deadlines and scheduled items in the terminal. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

You mean everything works expect color? I such case, I think the best would be to play with the Event.info method where you specify how to display info.

Thank you for the pointer! I've hacked the Event.special to accomplish what I want. Instead of a bool, I've set it to be a string that can either be "deadline" or "scheduled". Based on this, I can change the prefix from "!! " for a deadline to something like "== " for a scheduled item.

Very cool, and I enjoy your work on nano emacs.
