Subject: org-capture -- optionally add time-of-day as with C-c . ?
Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 01:22:56 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160210092256.GA12739@s70206.gridserver.com> (raw)
In setting up org-capture, I'd like to have behaviour similar to what
`org-time-stamp` provides, which by default is bound to:
C-c .
That command in org-mode brings up a 3-month calendar and a minibuffer
prompt for entering a date. With nothing entered at the prompt, just a
RET, a timestamp with the current date is inserted like so:
<2016-02-09 Tue>
If a date is picked from the calender, say March 26, then that date
is inserted:
<2016-03-26 Sat>
If, for example, 2pm is entered at the minibuffer prompt and March 8
is picked from the calender, then a timestamp like so gets inserted:
<2016-03-08 Tue 14:00>
I find this to be a very nice, intuitive interface. Time-of-day is
easily added, but only if explicitly input. Otherwise just the date
shows up. I'm having a hard time setting this up for org-capture...
I can get close with something like:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/todo.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %(org-insert-time-stamp (org-read-date nil t) t)\n")))
But that always inserts a time-of-day into the timestamp, using the
current time if nothing is input at the minibuffer prompt. So if I
just pick March 8 from the calender, that date will be inserted along
with the current time-of-day like so:
** TODO
SCHEDULED: <2016-03-08 Mon 00:53>
Which pretty much always necessitates a manual edit of the time to
either remove it or adjust it to something relevant.
When explicitly adding a time value at the prompt in the minibuffer,
2pm for example, then picking March 8, this would show up:
** TODO
SCHEDULED: <2016-03-08 Tue 14:00>
And that works great. It's just the aforementioned situation where no
time-of-day is entered and the current time-of-day gets associated
with some future-date timestamp rather than just having that date show
up by itself with no time-of-day.
Is there some way to have the `C-c .` behaviour outlined above happen
in org-capture?
TIA for any help,
John
