* Key bindings for org calendar selection @ 2017-03-20 13:24 Florian Lindner 2017-03-20 13:33 ` Danny YUE 0 siblings, 1 reply; 7+ messages in thread From: Florian Lindner @ 2017-03-20 13:24 UTC (permalink / raw) To: help-gnu-emacs This is a cross-post from emacs.orgmode, since I got no replies for 3 weeks. Hello, the usual emacs calendar (M-x calendar) can be controlled using these key bindings: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Calendar-Unit-Motion.html But how can the calendar be controlled when invoked by org-mode, e.g. by C-c C-s to set a scheduled date on an entry? The key bindings from standard calendar do not work, neither editing the mini buffer works out. Thanks, Florian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

For me, I always uses the shortcut for dates. For example "+1w" chooses the same day in next week, "+1d" for the next day etc. Seriously if you get to know the meaning of shortcuts, org way will be definitely faster than moving around in a calendar. :-) Danny On 2017-03-20 13:24, Florian Lindner <mailinglists@xgm.de> wrote: > This is a cross-post from emacs.orgmode, since I got no replies for 3 weeks. > > Hello, > > the usual emacs calendar (M-x calendar) can be controlled using these key bindings: > https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Calendar-Unit-Motion.html > > But how can the calendar be controlled when invoked by org-mode, e.g. by C-c C-s to set a scheduled date on an entry? > The key bindings from standard calendar do not work, neither editing the mini buffer works out. > > Thanks, > Florian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

As I said, the shortcuts from the Emacs calendar did not work, neither do work the shortcuts from the interactive org-mode calendar help. Are you aware of any documentation of shortcuts for the calendar?

The org-manual is not really crystal clear about this, but here you go: http://orgmode.org/manual/The-date_002ftime-prompt.html#The-date_002ftime-prompt basically, you can move around in the calendar using: shift + an arrow key. Also you have the entire calendar mini language at your disposal.

Thanks for that. By the way Florian, just to make it clear - when I said "shortcut" I mean the mini-language. Sorry for the misunderstanding. You are right. "+2w +3d" does not work, you have to "+17d", which seems to be stupid sometimes... I personally usually just look at the small calendar and type a date, such as 3/21 or 3-21 and it will be recognized.
