counsel: org-agenda-bulk-action

[srustamo]

Please consider adding a counsel function to handle org-agenda-bulk-action.

You can add/remove flags on multiple items in the agenda by selecting them using m, then B (org-agenda-bulk-action) and then + (to add tags) or - (to remove tags).

The org-mode itself does not provide the ability to apply multiple tags, however.

Now you should be able to change tags for any agenda item with counsel-org-tag. If any items are marked, you can only add tags with counsel-org-tag instead of add/remove. Please test.

Thank you. The counsel-org-tag indeed works as you describe.

I guess acting on multiple marked items in the agenda (adding/removing tags, e.g.) is beyond the scope of this package, however, if this is possible, please consider this for counsel.el.

You can add tags to multiple marked items in the agenda.

You can't remove them, because it doesn't make sense to remove a tag from a list of headings that may or may not have it. And I don't really want to add a separate command just for removing tags from multiple items. One command is better than two.

I guess checking if an item has a tag is more difficult than it sounds. If so, the only other request I would have is to auto-reload the agenda after running counsel-org-tag, so that its effect is visible.

This isn't the problem. The problem is marking two headings, one of them has :foo:, the other :bar: and you select :foo:. What should be done in this case: add or remove tag?

• have first :foo: and second :foo:bar:
• have first :: and second :foo:bar:

Adding and removing in one command makes sense only for a single tag, not for many.
