Description
Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?
N/A
Orgmode link
I am unsure how emacs exactly behaves, I never really got it
Feature value
If I want to insert a date (e.g. a schedule) that has a time of day and/or is repeating, I have to manually go to the date and edit it. It would save me time searching for and moving to the inserted/edited date if I could add time and repeat from the calendar screen.
My suggestion to solve this (just a quick thought, there may be better ideas):
- a new mapping (e.g.
i) will open a new text field - you can type time and/or repeating into the text field
- on
<cr>this string will be validated and added to the calender screen- if it is not correct, an error will be displayed and the text field stays open
- when choosing the date via
<cr>, the time/repeat will be added to the date object
This could look like this:
