This is my current workaround, yes. But it's a bit annoying because usually I do not start with: * Event <2011-07-12 Tue +1w>" ... but rather with something like: * Event <2011-06-21 Tue +1w> :PROPERTIES: :CREATED: <2011-06-21 Tue 18:40> :END: And then the whole properties-drawer followed by the empty line gets cloned too which is not so easy to be modified by a simple rectangle operation alone. I'll have to look into Emacs keyboard macros (since I did not use them for nearly a decade). But if this is something a lot of people are aiming to, it might be a cool idea to provide a not-so-workaround solution :-) If not, I'll go for a works-for-me solution. -- Karl Voit
