I've started to implement properties and column view in my Org-mode file. I have an entry like this: * Copy of bank form SCHEDULED: <2008-09-17 Wed> :PROPERTIES: :EXPIRES: [2008-10-12 Sun] :END: Sent original back to NW If not a lot of trouble, is it possible to: 1) have the column view recognise properties that are an active/inactive date stamp so that S-Left/S-Right will decrement/increment the date? 2) Have the 'e' edit recognise that the property value is a date stamp and use the date editor? I noticed that the SCHEDULED and DEADLINE inbuilt properties behave this way already and thought that it would be useful to have other date properties behave the same way. I think that the suggested behaviour above should apply only if no allowed values have been set for that particular property. Also, I noticed in the documentation (Section 7.5.2 Using column view) page 50 of the PDF, that the comment for S-M-Right says "Insert a new column, to the right of the current column". When I try that it inserts to the left. My feeling is, thinking about the keystroke's parallel in table mode, that the behaviour is correct but the documentation should say "...to the left...". -- Chris Randle Windows XP SP3 - GNU Emacs 22.1.1 - Org-mode 6.06b
