Possible Bug in Time stamp Editing

Possible Bug in Time stamp Editing

[Ian Barton]

I have a remember template that inserts an inactive time stamp. If I 
edit the inactive time stamp in the remember buffer using C . it changes 
to an active timestamp. Shouldn't editing preserve the active/inactive 
status?

C-c . creates active timestamps.  You want C-c ! for inactive timestamp
editing.

Thanks. I'll add a section to the manual saying that if you want to edit
an existing time stamp, you need to use the same key combination used to
create it, or it will change from active to inactive, or vice versa.

Now I think about it makes sense, as it also allows a quick way to
toggle the active/inactive status of time stamps.

Yes.

Another way to do that is S-up with the cursor on the bracket/angle.
