### 10.7 Commands in the Agenda Buffer

Entries in the agenda buffer are linked back to the Org file or diary file where they originate. You are not allowed to edit the agenda buffer itself, but commands are provided to show and jump to the original entry location, and to edit the Org files “remotely” from the agenda buffer. This is just a selection of the many commands, explore the agenda menu and the manual for a complete list.

#### Motion

`n`

  Next line (same as `DOWN` and `C-n`).

`p`

  Previous line (same as `UP` and `C-p`).

#### View/Go to Org file

`SPC`

  Display the original location of the item in another window. With a prefix argument, make sure that drawers stay folded.

`TAB`

  Go to the original location of the item in another window.

`RET`

  Go to the original location of the item and delete other windows.

#### Change display

  Delete other windows.

`v d` or short `d`

  Switch to day view.

`v w` or short `w`
