Subject: [feature request] More flexible repeats
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 18:09:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2y5xeud1f.fsf@boostpro.com> (raw)


I have habits that I need to perform, e.g., every weekday, or four times
a week.  I don't see a way to express that.  If I could schedule a task
for +1.4d or +1.75d (respectively), I'd be happy.

Even better would be a more human-readable way to express repetition,
because in addition to being frustrated by its limitations, I forget the
meaning of Org's fiddly repeat syntax.  For example, words like
"weekdays" or codes like "4x:w" (meaning four times per week) would be
really nice to work with.  I'd rather use "/" for "per" but that is
already taken.
