Hello -

I find it unintuitive that the usual calendar keys C-n/p/f/b don't work
when scheduling tasks in org mode (yes, I know about S-right, etc). I've
something like this to my init file for those four keys (based on their
setup in org-keys.el) for some time with no negative repercussions (that
I know about anyway), perhaps the same should be done for org itself?

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd "C-n") (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-forward-week 1))))
#+end_src

Thanks,
Alex

While I can't think of any obvious conflicts for C-n and C-p in the
context of the read date minibuffer (please correct me if I'm wrong),
C-f and C-b are bound to forward-char and backward-char, which I
frequently use when entering and editing dates.

Best,

Matt

I agree with Matt on this: I also use C-f and C-b here, and adding
C-n and C-p only makes sense if we add all four keys.  So I suggest
not to add these keybindings.
