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 -- John Magolske http://b79.net/contac
