All,
I often document the running of complex processes such as software installs by writing down a list with times like this:
08:00 – started
08:05 – prompt about debug data
08:07 – database update started
…
and so on. I seem to remember seeing a way to do this in org, where you just hit “enter” and the next line already gets populated with a time stamp. However, I haven’t been able to find it. Of course the format doesn’t need to be exactly that. Just the convenience of automatically adding the timestamp when I start a new line.
Does this exist in org? Or did I imagine it?
Thanks,
glauber

M-x org-timer-start
C-x C-c - to insert the first line
Creates lines like this:
- 0:00:17 :: wugga
- 0:00:21 :: hi
- 0:00:23 :: this is a timer
After the first line, you can do M-Enter to create a new list item and
the timestamp automatically updates.
