Yes, both shifting by the same amount and setting a fixed date can be useful. I usually re-schedule leftover todos by shifting them by one or two working days to the future. So originally I had a bulk version of `org-agenda-do-date-later' and friends in mind as opposed to `org-agenda-schedule'. But the latter one would be useful to. Ideally, S-left, C-cC-s et al. would trigger a bulk shift/bulk schedule whenever there are marked agenda items. Ulf
