Separating Deadline and Scheduled entries of the same task

[real-or-random]

Is there a way to match the "type" of an item, i.e., "Scheduled:" vs "Deadline:"?

I often have tasks that appear both as "Scheduled:" and as "Deadline:" entries, and I'd like to keep the both entries, but show the "Scheduled:" type under (say) "Do Today", and the "Deadline:" type under "Due Soon:".

(Of course, I could set org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled or a similar variable to have only one of the two entries but I'd prefer to have them both.)

Hi Tim,

Probably the easiest way to do this would be to use the :pred selector. Please see this example: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-super-agenda/blob/master/examples.org#by-predicate If you use, e.g. string-prefix-p, that should be good enough.

Thanks, that works, e.g.:

  (defun tim/is-future-deadline-entry-p (item)
    (string-prefix-p "  In " item))

Do you think it would make sense to add pre-defined selectors for this kind of matching?

I'm open to the idea, sure. It might be difficult to design it in such a way that it would be easy for users to distinguish between these and the existing deadline and scheduled selectors, but we could probably figure something out.
