Why is that called "insert-new-entry"? 2. Why move point? That happens *before* `calendar' is invoked. Remember your function can be called from anywhere in Emacs, i.e. from all modes and all buffers. Why move point in any and all of those? 3. If you want to change the key-map for a mode, don't do that in a defun. Just put this (require 'calendar) (define-key calendar-mode-map "\r" #'get-date) in an initiation file, i.e. most often ~/.emacs or some other file that is `load'ed from ~/.emacs. Also, at least according to my Lisp-vision, there shouldn't be indentation after the (interactive) line. That is, the `goto-char' line should be align on the same vertical level as the `interactive' line. > (defun get-date () > (interactive) > (let* ((x (calendar-cursor-to-date)) > (time (encode-time 0 0 0 (nth 1 x) (nth 0 x) (nth 2 x)))) > (select-window (get-buffer-window "asti" t)) > (insert (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" time)))) Even with the `encode-time' I still only get 1970s dates! But if time works for you, still, check out a previous post and the function I provided. Some hints: 1. Be more pedantic with indentation! Use `indent-for-tab-command' (TAB) in the `emacs-lisp-mode' and let it be done for you. 2. Think of better names than `x'. 3. Instead of (nth 0 x), you can use `car'. > P.S. This assumes you have an "asti" buffer opened > (C-x 4 b asti). Use `get-buffer-create' which will "[r]eturn the buffer specified ... creating a new one if needed. ..." (from the help). get-buffer-create is what I used in the function in my previous post, and that will work regardless so you don't have to assume anything. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
