i tend to want either zero or some number [like 4 or 8] for deadline warning days for deadline timestamps [tses].
so i set the deadline warning days variable to a nonzero positive number as a default. and then manually add -0d to individual tses when i want -0d. however, manual editing feels quite error prone and it is typing/concentration-intensive. the failure mode could include not being warned or even not showing the deadline at all. the existing command has a prefix option, but it does not solve the problem. c-u c-u will ask you for a warning date, but for less chance of error, i want an interval or number of dasys instead. this would also be slightly more consistent with the variable, which takes an integer. a warning date requires you to think about date arithmetic. another problem with c-u -cu is that it requires you to enter the ts, then do c-u c-u. i.e. you can't enter a deadline with c-u c-u. if those two problems were fixed, i would have no issue. i'd like to know if anybody has any code for changing the deadline warning days of a deadline ts to an interval or ndays. [the minus sign would not be needed.] this would be for new tses and existing tses. in my case it would default to my alternate interval [0d]. this could be thought of as a feature request, but i don't know if it is of enough interest, and i figured perhaps somebody already has some code for this or likes the idea above also. thank you. -- The Kafka Pandemic What is misopathy? https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html
