I often use individual warning periods for defining how many days before the
DEADLINE the task will show up in my agenda like
DEADLINE: <2013-02-27 Wed -3d>
However, it seems not to be possible to enter this warning period directly when
defining a date with the calendar e. g. by C-C C-D.
Is there a syntax to enter warnings here directly?
If not, could it be defined, please? :-)
IMHO it would also be helpful to have a shortcut to directly modify the warning
period of an item with a timestamp in the agenda. (like it is possible with
Shift+Left/Right Arrow to modify the date day by day).
Kind regards
Martin

Patch welcome :) But...

C-c C-d RET C-u C-u C-c C-d s-<right> s-<right> s-<right> RET will do
it, so I don't think a specific syntax is needed here.
HTH,

Salut Bastien,
thanks a lot for your help!
I tried what you proposed,
but that only removes the deadline for me:
C-c C-d RET creates the deadline today.
C-u C-u C-c C-d removes it and opens a capture window,
as I have the corresponding option activated which prompts
for a note when changing a deadline.
Kind regards
Martin

I forgot to mention C-u C-u C-s C-d is only for the braves,
those who live in the development (aka "master") branch of
the repo. But you forgot to mention the version of Emacs,
so we're even :)
Best,
