ok - having more than 1 character to dispatch the agenda is a bad idea because 
it also needs a
RETURN to finish the selection.
I now stick with this config:

...
        ("d" agenda "X-Agenda 0 days deadline preview"
         ((org-deadline-warning-days 0)))
        ("D" agenda "X-Agenda 1 days deadline preview"
         ((org-deadline-warning-days 1)))
        ("2" agenda "X-Agenda 2 days deadline preview"
         ((org-deadline-warning-days 2)))
        ("3" agenda "X-Agenda 3 days deadline preview"
         ((org-deadline-warning-days 3)))
        ("7" agenda "X-Agenda 7 days deadline preview"
         ((org-deadline-warning-days 7)))
...

"d" and "D" are needed because "0" and "1" are used already.

anybody else doing stuff like that any other way?
