5.1.1 Agenda Install

Simplified Install

If Casual is installed using package-install, then you can use casual-init to setup support for Org Agenda.

By default, casual-init will setup support for Org Agenda via the hook function casual-agenda-init which is included in the customizable variable casual-init-hook.

Use the command customize-variable on casual-init-hook to control inclusion of casual-agenda-init via a checkbox interface.

Refer to the Simplified Install (Install) section for more detail on customizing casual-init.

Casual makes opinionated decisions on the keybindings used in its menus. Such opinions are extended from said menus to the keymap(s) of a particular mode. For Org agenda, this can be controlled via the customizable variable casual-agenda-add-extra-keybindings (default t).

Hook Install

Users who want a more granular install of Casual modules can invoke the hook function of interest in their Emacs initialization file.

(casual-agenda-init)

Manual Install

For users who have manually installed Casual outside of package-install, the following guidance is offered.

The primary interface for Casual Agenda is the Transient menu casual-agenda-tmenu. It is autoloaded ((elisp)Autoload) so if Casual is installed via package-install ((emacs)Package Installation) then casual-agenda-tmenu can be invoked via execute-extended-command (M-x) without need for modifying your Emacs initialization file.

That said, Casual is designed with the intent of using a common (key)binding across multiple modes to lower cognitive load. This document uses the binding C-o for this purpose, but can be changed to user preference.

There are many ways to configure this binding. Shown below is a straightforward implementation:

(require 'casual-agenda) ; load all dependencies including `org-agenda'
(keymap-set org-agenda-mode-map "C-o" #'casual-agenda-tmenu)

If lazy loading of the org-agenda package is desired then try using eval-after-load:

(eval-after-load 'org-agenda
  (keymap-set org-agenda-mode-map "C-o" #'casual-agenda-tmenu))

Additional Bindings

Use these bindings to configure Org Agenda to be consistent with bindings used by Casual Agenda. This is optional.
