Well, it is not really.

Good to know, thanks.

For me the ID was created by attaching a file. I expected detaching it
would delete the ID, but of course, IDs can have other purposes.

Seen it, will test it closely.

But C-c C-l is not accessible from the agenda, right?

Yes.

C-c C-a should be aware of any previously defined directory, and take
this directory as the default directory when browsing for other files
to attach. Am I more clear?

Weird. C-c C-s + 1 d RET does only insert today's date here, no "+1d"
string.

Well, let's say I plan to do something next week but it's not high
priority. I want it to pop up in my agenda view next week, and stay for
three days, because passed this delay, I know I won't have any interest
in doing it anymore. Having something like +3d looks consistent to me
-- but I agree I can find workarounds. Or just fix my habits :)

Great, thanks!

Sorry I meant when marking an entry with `k m' in agenda view.

Same here. `k m' would jump to the next unmarked entry.

Yeah, but maybe some people don't use menus (I don't).

The main reason was to cheat and try pretend you've been working 1 hour
when you really worked 50 minutes :)

Great!

forward-paragraph and backward-paragraph would make sense, no? For now
M-} jumps out of the table.

The problem is that you don't see whether an entry is scheduled or has a
deadline in agenda view. How do you decide which one to delete?
Thanks for all answers!
