i am referring to this code in org-agenda-date-later. i do not
understand why there is (equal arg 1):
(when (and org-agenda-move-date-from-past-immediately-to-today
(equal arg 1)
(or (not what) (eq what 'day))
(not (save-match-data (org-at-date-range-p))))
(setq cdate (org-parse-time-string (match-string 0) 'nodefault)
cdate (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian
(list (nth 4 cdate) (nth 3 cdate) (nth 5 cdate)))
today (org-today))
(when (> today cdate)
;; immediately shift to today
(setq arg (- today cdate))))
i would want to move to today if needed, then the number of days, such
as 7 here:
(defun alpha-org-agenda-do-date-later--week ()
(interactive)
(org-agenda-do-date-later 7))
but perhaps there is a good reason for restricting this variable to
controlling only a single day move?
