Re: [Orgmode] ITEM in column view in the agenda

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Adam,

no, this is not too much to ask, in particular since I am doing

this kind of compaction (not duplicating info that is shown in

other columns) already in the normal column view (i.e. in

an Org buffer as opposed to the agenda buffer.  In fact, the

function doing the compaction is already called, only it does

not do anything because it is trying to match a headline.

This can be easily fixed....... DONE.

This should now also work in agenda buffers, using the latest

GIT version.  There is a new variable

`org-agenda-columns-remove-prefix-from-item' which can be used

to decide it the prefex should be removed.  The default

it to remove it in column view, on order to optimize the use

of the window width.

I'm trying to get a good COLUMN format for viewing the agenda in

property available for showing the actual "meat" of a given headline?
The problem with ITEM is that it includes any leaders, plus the TODO
keyword and priority, which leads to duplication if any of these are
displayed in separate columns, e.g.:

TODO    | PRI | Task
[snip]
NEXT    | A   |   personal:In   1d:  NEXT [#A] book MOT  | ....
WAITING | B   |   personal:Sched.109x:  WAITING [#B] boo | ....

Of course it is very wasteful of window width to have this
duplication, so I would like to at least be able to exclude the TODO
keyword and priority from the ITEM column, and preferably the leaders
too (although I would like to keep them for normal non-column agenda
view).  Asking too much as usual? ;-)

Thanks!
