Absolute timestamps in timer list

Absolute timestamps in timer list

Hi All,

Does anybody know of a way to use absolute timestamps instead of relative
timestamps in a timer list?

For example:
pressing C-c C-x - starts a list with a relative timestamp like so:

- 0:00:00 :: First item

Pressing M-<RET> adds more items to the list with the corresponding
relative timestamp like so:

- 0:00:00 :: First item
- 0:00:05 :: Second item
- 0:00:12 :: Third item

I think this really cool but i'm also looking to have the option to use
absolute timestamps like so:

- <2016-06-14 Tue 10:34> :: First item
- <2016-06-14 Tue 10:39> :: Second item
- <2016-06-14 Tue 10:48> :: Third item

Not sure if this has been raised before. I did have look around but didn't
find anything. Any pointers would be great!

Regards,
Rob

I don't think an option is needed here. It's just M-RET followed by "C-u
C-c . RET". You can automate the process with a macro or some Lisp.

Hmm, good point...

I'm new to Emacs and Lisp so this might be a good exercise for me.

Thanks for the direction!

Rob
