Doom-emacs: org-agenda incomprehensible behavior

[smdnv]

Here are some things you should try before filing a bug report:

Observed behavior

When I open agenda week view the following functions do not work:

• org-agenda-priority-down
• org-agenda-priority-up
• org-agenda-todo
• org-agenda-goto

Expected behavior

I can change the priority of the task, the status of the task or go to the file.

Steps to reproduce

short-video

1. Open agenda without opening todo.org file.
2. Try to change priority, status, goto file.

I have same experience.
If I have opened agenda file in buffer which has no focus and I have running clock in it, opening org-agenda results into question about if I want to kill buffer where is clocked task.
This isn't happening when buffer with agenda file is active (has focus).
So it looks like org-agenda kills agenda files shortly after it extracts agenda information. (or Doom's popup system?)
I also tried to lock buffer containing agenda file (running emacs-lock-mode command on buffer, then bury it (SPC z) and then call org-agenda.
Message Buffer "gtd.org" is locked and cannot be killed also confirms my original assumption.

(And maybe this is somehow connected to my experience with agenda sometimes having emacs keys active and sometimes evil one.)

EDIT: Indeed there is Doom's setting which causes this: https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/068a9345e3163bd852d8e2332d6df8331464d8db/modules/lang/org/config.el#L286

quick fix would be add following code into your private config.el :

;; Disable killing of agenda buffers after extracting information from them.
;; Use remove-hook instead of setting org-agenda-finalize-hook to nil so this
;; hook can contain other values if needed
(after! org (remove-hook 'org-agenda-finalize-hook '+org|cleanup-agenda-files))

Now all commands which needs to interact with particular agenda-file buffer seems to work as expected.
(and btw. emacs keybindings in agenda are not there because there is something much better now - Evil-org! )

Org mode has so many capabilities and possible ways of using it, so I understand why someone don't want to have 245 org buffers hanging around. But if you have just few files and want to directly interact with them from agenda-buffer, killing agenda-files buffers (if they are not focused ?) make this type of workflow impossible.

I hadn't realized the reprecussions of +org|cleanup-agenda-files, so I have removed it. Please let me know if this hasn't resolved your issues.
