Hello all,
this might be a typical beginner question ...
I often use the sequence
C-. <Ret> C-- :
to create this:
- <2009-07-31 Fri>:
where the date is today's date.
I'm sure there's a way to create a command for this, but I have no idea
how. I'd like to bind this sequence to something like C-c t or similar.
How do I do this?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus

Hi Markus,
I have the following in my .emacs:
(defun date ()
(interactive "*")
(insert (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d %T" (current-time))))
(global-set-key [f11] 'date)
This will at least get you started. See the documentation for
format-time-string to season as suits.
Best,
Brian vdB

Thanks Brian,
this got me started. The code in my .emacs looks like this for me now:
(defun org-date ()
(interactive "*")
(insert (format-time-string "- <%Y-%m-%d %a>: ")))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c d") 'org-date)
Cheerio
