Hi Samuel, the date/time prompt is minibuffer input and should be fully editable. I feel that I cannot deviate too much from what people expect from a minibuffer. I did consider using the arrow keys for something else, but in the end decided against it. Having said that, I can give you a hook to install any keys you like in that prompt - - - - OK, `org-read-date-minibuffer-setup-hook'. - Carsten > > Then shift arrows would work for the minibuffer as they do > in the outline buffer, and arrows would work as expected in > the calendar. > > Has this been considered before? > > Thanks. > > -- > Myalgic encephalomyelitis denialism is causing death (decades early; > Jason et al. 2006) and severe suffering (worse than nearly all other > diseases studied; e.g. Schweitzer et al. 1995) and grossly corrupting > science. http://www.meactionuk.org.uk/What_Is_ME_What_Is_CFS.htm > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
