When I do `i d` the entry is created somewhere down in the midst of my big list, and I have to use C-s to search for it and then I add things (such as with `t` for todo, `C-d` for deadline, `>` for additional time details). The trouble is finding it in the list, which seems to require something like `C-s` and searching for some of the text I just entered. I'm using Org-mode version 8.2.10 (8.2.10-30-gca21b7-elpa). I'm also not using regular diary, but the following (perhaps relevant?). I would LOVE to have my point automatically go to the newly created item, as yours seems to. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq org-agenda-include-diary nil) ;; org-agenda (setq org-agenda-diary-file "~/emacs/agenda.org" org-special-ctrl-o nil org-agenda-span 'day) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- John Kitchin writes: > This sounds interesting, but I don't understand what you are trying to > do. > > In my agenda, when I press `i d` i get a new diary entry, and the point > is on that entry.

I then move to the newly added entry to edit todo status, the hour of the item, deadlines, tags, and schedules. This would be tremendously facilitated if point automatically moved to the newly created item, rather than my having to search through my lengthy list of items to find the new entry. How can I implement this, and shouldn't it be a default? > > -- > Professor John Kitchin > Doherty Hall A207F > Department of Chemical Engineering > Carnegie Mellon University > Pittsburgh, PA 15213 > 412-268-7803 > @johnkitchin > http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu
