Pressing S-left/right anywhere on a timestamp decreases/increases it by one day.
Pressing S-down/up on a component of a timestamp decreases/increases it by one
unit of that component.
How can we include an easy and quick way to decrease/increase the timestamp by
one week. I find myself having to do that quite often (increase). It's not
difficult to hit S-right/up seven times, but there is the possibility of
miscounting.
Should I just bind ``C-u 7 S-right`` and ``C-u 7 S-left``?

This updates the timestamp to be one week from *today*. I want to push the
timestamp one week forward from wherever it is.

I generally lean on S-up and watch the changing date until it gets to
where I want it - no counting.

I wouldn't bother but I'm not you: if you really want to, you can define a trivial function
(defun sw-one-week-bump ()
(org-timestamp-up-day 7))
and bind it.
If you need help with the latter, see the emacs manual:
(info "(emacs) Customizing Key Bindings")
and for the gory details, the emacs lisp manual:
(info "(elisp) Keymaps")
Nick
PS. Not sure how much emacs you know - if any/all of this is obvious, please disregard.

:) Thanks. I'm an "advanced beginner" with Emacs, so the example was helpful.
Aside: Hitting ``M-: (info "(emacs) Customizing Key Bindings")`` gives me an
error about the info file not existing. I installed Emacs 23.2.1 in CrunchBang
Linux (Debian Stable) and (IIRC) org-mode 7.8.06 via a Debian package. Any ideas?

I don't know if there is a separate doc package on your distro (or any
distro for that matter): I generally install emacs from source and both
the emacs and elisp info files are built and installed along with it.
Nick
PS. C-x C-e will evaluate a form in any bufferm, with no need for ``M-: foo RET''

A data point:
I've the same broken info system on the ssame version of CrunchBang. I
really like cb, but there are wrinkles like that. The TODO for solving that
hasn't percolated up my list yet :-)

In the meantime, I've posed it on the CrunchBang forums:

On Ubuntu 11.04, they are in the package emacs23-common. When I
installed emacs23, emacs23-common came along for the ride.
But I saw a message implying that Debian does not consider emacs
documentation free (!?!?), so the info files may be in
emacs23-common-non-dfsg in this case.

The FSF isn't the only one caring about "Freedom".
Where more than one entity exists, they are bound to disagree sometimes :).

Thanks, that's the package :)
FWIW, I think you meant:
(info "(emacs) Key Binding Commands")
earlier, or else I don't have the node you mentioned.

Yup - as I indicated, I found it somewhat surprising, so I found and
read the resolution. I think it's all pretty small nits, but thank
goodness IANAL (haven't even played one on TV): the havoc that I could
wreak would be unimaginable...

That may very well be: I was looking in the emacs24 info files which are
probably different.
