Hi all,
When adding a timestamp, org-mode proposes the current date. This
hack makes it look at the contents of the clipboard, and if it
contains a valid date, org-mode proposes that date instead. This
comes useful, when you copy a deadline from another application, for
example, a web browser.
(setq parse-time-months '(("jan" . 1) ("feb" . 2) ("mar" . 3)
("apr" . 4) ("may" . 5) ("jun" . 6)
("jul" . 7) ("aug" . 8) ("sep" . 9)
("oct" . 10) ("nov" . 11) ("dec" . 12)
("january" . 1) ("february" . 2) ("march" . 3)
("april" . 4) ("may" . 5) ("june" . 6)
("july" . 7) ("august" . 8) ("september" . 9)
("october" . 10) ("november" . 11) ("december" . 12)))
(defadvice org-read-date (around local-org-read-date activate)
(let ((local-ct
(let ((clipboard-time
(parse-time-string (current-kill 0))))
(if (nth 3 clipboard-time) ; if day is not nil
(apply 'encode-time
(mapcar (lambda(x) (or x 0)) clipboard-time))
(org-current-time)))))
(flet ((org-current-time () local-ct))
ad-do-it)))
Test and enjoy.
Piotr
