Hello,
How to insert the current time? I have a table in which I want to
indicate the beginning of an oral exam (firt column), the end (second
column), and (third column) make the difference between the two (I can
do that).
My apologies for such a question...
Thank you in advance,
Fred

Easiest immediate way is to insert an inactive time stamp by C-u C-c ! RET.

C-u M-x org-time-stamp
will prompt for a date and insert it along with the current time (I
bind org-time-stamp to "C-c ." for convenience)

Strange, my system does not insert the current time, only the date. I
have to insert the time manually. Same for inactive and active stamps.
I'm on the latest master versions.

I use this:
;; Insert immediate timestamp
(bind-key "<f9>"
'(lambda () (interactive)
(when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
(org-insert-time-stamp nil t t)
(insert "\n"))))
I press f9 all the time while note taking to timestamp my activities.

For it to insert the time you need a prefix argument (C-u) to
org-time-stamp, so it should be "C-u C-c ." to add an active time-stamp
and "C-u C-c !" for an inactive one.

That is a bit strange - my Emacs doesn't seem to have `bind-key'.
Also, I would just add f9 to `org-mode-map', e.g. using `define-key' -
there's no need then to check for `major-mode'.
Hth,

It is from a separate package called bind-key that you can install from
MELPA.
The excellent 'use-package' package uses it as a convenience method to
bind keys in use-pacakge definition blocks.

Yep, exactly my first thoughts when I saw the example. I use to have
something similar, but now my capture templates and 'Journal' option
take care of all of that, plus other useful details - like the
place/buffer/mode you were in when you took the note etc.

I could refactor that to use the binding in use-package.

I've used this same code since 2007? Perhaps it needs an update. ;]

If you don't have code in your .emacs or .init.el which could be
updated, refactored or otherwise improved, your just not trying hard
enough and if you don't have chunks of code 'borrowed' from others which
you only partially understand, your trying too hard!

This worked, I must have simply neglected to use the prefix.
