[O] multiple agenda views -- sticky agendas?, buffer renaming?

[Alain . Cochard]

Hello.

I want my *Org Agenda* buffer to be open at all times, but I still
want to be able to (say) match as many different tags as desired.

Googling and searching the archives suggested 2 possible ways: (1)
use of sticky agenda views and (2) use 'M-x rename-uniquely'.  

Use of sticky agendas does not seem to be suited for my need (but
maybe I am missing something), while renaming the buffer seems more
promising except that it partly fails -- again, maybe I am missing
something or there is a bug.

(1) Trying with sticky agendas, I do:

M-x org-agenda * a

M-x make-frame

In the newly created frame: M-x org-agenda m some_tag

so far, so good.

But If, in that same newly created frame, I want to search for another
tag, as soon as I do 'M-x org-agenda m', I get the message "Sticky
Agenda buffer, use `r' to refresh".

Sure, I can refresh, bug cannot search for another tag.

Am I doing something wrong?

(2) Trying renaming the buffer, I do:

M-x org-agenda a

M-x rename-uniquely

M-x make-frame

In the newly created frame: M-x org-agenda m some_tag

At this point, the behavior is as I expect in the newly created agenda
view: pressing <TAB> on a given line of the agenda view puts the point
at the proper place of the proper buffer in the other window.

But it does not work that way in the initial agenda view: pressing
<TAB> generates the message "Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p,
nil". 

Again, am I doing something wrong?

Are there other ways of doing what I want?

NB: I have used an extremely minimal setup, both with Org version
8.2.10, which is the default for my GNU Emacs 24.5.1 installation, and
with Org version 9.0.8-elpa.

I have tried with M-x rename-buffer instead of M-x rename-uniquely,
but the result is the same.


Thank you for any help.

Alain
