Re: [O] ANN: org-ql agenda block support

[Samuel Wales]

thanks, looks gorgeous!  i will file it for a possible future time
when i can run it, diff it with existing agenda to make sure it's the
same for me, and just switch over to it.  (i use 2d and 7d agendas and
text search view with and without inactive.)

i'll ask a couple of questions.

a while back i posted some notes on something that i was going to
implement (but wasn't able to), because somebody asked for it, hoping
that the notes would help him/her.

the idea was that we can resurrect the timeline view, for all agenda
files instead of only one, merely by a use of a text search custom
agenda view.  timestamps go where categories currently go.  sorted by
that ts.

if an entry has more than one ts (active bare, inactive bare including
on header, or planning -- other stuff requires org support), then it
will get more than one agenda line.

so this requires modifying that list that is there for the user to
modify tasks before displaying them.

can any of this stuff do that?

i keep wanting this feature: do a text search and have all matching
org-agenda-files outline entries show, with more than one agenda line
if more than one ts in entry, sorted by that ts.

so for example you search for "melatonin" (or even "." meaning all
entries, such as for an agenda restriction) and then you get to see
the most recent thing you did for melatonin or in that restriction at
the top.  and everything else you did below.  (assuming reverse sort.)

i can post more accurate and precise details if needed, but i wanted
to know if you think your work can support this.

also, does it support all the usual variables for leaders and faces and so on?

it all sounds promising.

more speed and beautiful sexps!  what more could we ask for?  :)
