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. > Not quite sure if I understand your question but it seems as if you want to "SCHEDULE" a meeting for a date and time using C-c C-s Using that key combination after a TODO I usually enter the date then a space then the time. Also you may enter a duration such as 08:00+2 HTH. Charlie Millar
