[SOLVED] emacs orgmode weird behaviors

After a long time, I updated arch and got 2GB worth of updates... Afterwards, emacs' orgmode is behaving differently. When I prompt to open the weekly agenda (C-c c), it asks me what to open in a window in the side of the window (it used to ask it at the bottom). And when I open the agenda (C-c c a), it does not allow me to browse other weeks with arrow buttons.

I was wondering if anyone had an idea what happened... Thanks:)

Re: [SOLVED] emacs orgmode weird behaviors

You probably updated emacs as well.
Maybe that's how new orgmode operates?
Do you have a widescreen? I believe emacs shows questions splitted on the side if you have a sufficiently wide screen, maybe that is something new too?

Re: [SOLVED] emacs orgmode weird behaviors

Both of these are changes made to more recent versions of Emacs and Org-Mode.

You can rebind the left / right directional keys in the agenda with:

(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook
      (lambda ()
        (org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map [(left)] 'org-agenda-earlier)
        (org-defkey org-agenda-mode-map [(right)] 'org-agenda-later)))

The reason for the window being created in a different position is due to changes to Emacs' splitting behaviour.  A quick solution to this would be to increase the value of `split-width-threshold'.

thanks all so much. the above solved both of the problems
