Is there a possibility to have multiple agenda views open at once?

Question

I have a custom agenda view which shows the Items I did last week and the items I have to do in this week. This view is based on a filter of TODO items. However, it would be good to see scheduled items and deadlines in another buffer.

Of course I could open another emacs instance and open there a different agenda, but is there another way so that I can examine two different agenda views within the same frame, but in different buffers?

Answer 1

This can be accomplished using org-agenda-sticky.

See the Org-Manual - Agenda Dispatcher for details.

* :: Toggle sticky agenda views. By default, Org maintains only a single agenda buffer and rebuilds it each time you change the view, to make sure everything is always up to date. If you switch between views often and the build time bothers you, you can turn on sticky agenda buffers (make this the default by customizing the variable org-agenda-sticky). With sticky agendas, the dispatcher only switches to the selected view, you need to update it by hand with r or g. You can toggle sticky agenda view any time with org-toggle-sticky-agenda.

Answer 2

I believe this could give you what you're looking for:

1. Open an agenda view

2. Run M-x rename-uniquely or M-x rename-buffer

3. Open another agenda view
