Subject: Insert timestamp other than DEADLINE: or SCHEDULED: for heading
Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2018 11:16:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1517933791.2772624.1261484720.0CE4F699@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)

Hi,

I'm trying to take full advantage of scheduling, deadlines and timestamps for my TODO lists.  It's easy to add deadlines and schedule times via `C-c C-s` and `C-c C-d`. However,  if I want to set a time for a meeting, I should be using a regular timestamp, rather than a SCHEDULE: property. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this automatically.

I know I can enter a timestamp with `C-c .`, but that just inserts it at point, regardless of where point is with respect to the headline, logbook, property drawers etc. Is there a function I could use to do the equivalent of `C-c C-s`, i.e., jump back to the headline, move past any property drawers, and insert a timestamp at the beginning of a line, and then return me to where I started?

I looked at `org--deadline-or-schedule`, but there's a lot going on in there,  and my naive hacking quickly broke it.

Best,

Tyler
