org-insert-timestamp issue

Hi guys,

I have bound org-insert-timestamp to C-c C-y, like so:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-y") (lambda() (interactive)
(org-insert-time-stamp nil t nil nil nil nil)))

However, once in an org-mode buffer, when I press C-c C-y, I get the
following in the mini-buffer:

if: Not at a time-stamp range, and none found in current line

What does that mean and how could I fix it so that the current timestamp is
inserted (current datetime)?

Thanks in advance,

-Marcelo.

Org-mode rebinds C-c C-y to org-evaluate-time-range, so you are not calling
the function that you think you are calling when you press C-c C-y in an
org-mode buffer. It only works in *other* buffers :-)

If you don't care about org-evaluate-time-range, you can probably rebind C-c C-y
in a hook:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (function (lambda () 
 	  	  		     (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-y")
				                    (lambda() (interactive)
				 	              (org-insert-time-stamp nil t nil nil nil nil))))))

Hi Nick, thank you very much!

Why does org rebinds C-c C-y to that function? Is that a default binding
for org?

Yes - see line 17340 in org.el.

Yes.  But `C-c y' is free.

HTH,

Just to expand on this, in Emacs, C-c letter keys are reserved for the users,
but C-c C-letter is for the major modes.  So for your own private global
bindings, C-c letter is much safer.
