org: Global TODO list

 
 10.3.2 The global TODO list
 ---------------------------
 
 The global TODO list contains all unfinished TODO items formatted and
 collected into a single place.
 
 ‘C-c a t     (org-todo-list)’
      Show the global TODO list.  This collects the TODO items from all
      agenda files (Agenda Views) into a single buffer.  By
      default, this lists items with a state the is not a DONE state.
      The buffer is in ‘agenda-mode’, so there are commands to examine
      and manipulate the TODO entries directly from that buffer (
      Agenda commands).
 ‘C-c a T     (org-todo-list)’
      Like the above, but allows selection of a specific TODO keyword.
      You can also do this by specifying a prefix argument to ‘C-c a t’.
      You are prompted for a keyword, and you may also specify several
      keywords by separating them with ‘|’ as the boolean OR operator.
      With a numeric prefix, the Nth keyword in ‘org-todo-keywords’ is
      selected.  The ‘r’ key in the agenda buffer regenerates it, and you
      can give a prefix argument to this command to change the selected
      TODO keyword, for example ‘3 r’.  If you often need a search for a
      specific keyword, define a custom command for it (Agenda
      dispatcher).
      Matching specific TODO keywords can also be done as part of a tags
      search (Tag searches).
 
    Remote editing of TODO items means that you can change the state of a
 TODO entry with a single key press.  The commands available in the TODO
 list are described in Agenda commands.
 
    Normally the global TODO list simply shows all headlines with TODO
 keywords.  This list can become very long.  There are two ways to keep
 it more compact:
    − Some people view a TODO item that has been _scheduled_ for
      execution or have a _deadline_ (Timestamps) as no longer
      _open_.  Configure the variables
      ‘org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled’,
      ‘org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines’,
      ‘org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp’ and/or
      ‘org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date’ to exclude such items from the
      global TODO list.
    − TODO items may have sublevels to break up the task into subtasks.
      In such cases it may be enough to list only the highest level TODO
      headline and omit the sublevels from the global list.  Configure
      the variable ‘org-agenda-todo-list-sublevels’ to get this behavior.
