[O] Timestamp: Forward or backward by a week
Pressing S-left/right anywhere on a timestamp decreases/increases it by one day. Pressing S-down/up on a component of a timestamp decreases/increases it by one unit of that component. How can we include an easy and quick way to decrease/increase the timestamp by one week. I find myself having to do that quite often (increase). It's not difficult to hit S-right/up seven times, but there is the possibility of miscounting. Should I just bind ``C-u 7 S-right`` and ``C-u 7 S-left``?

I find myself having to do that quite often (increase). It's not difficult to hit S-right/up seven times, but there is the possibility of miscounting. I generally lean on S-up and watch the changing date until it gets to where I want it - no counting. Should I just bind ``C-u 7 S-right`` and ``C-u 7 S-left``? I wouldn't bother but I'm not you: if you really want to, you can define a trivial function (defun sw-one-week-bump () (org-timestamp-up-day 7)) and bind it. If you need help with the latter, see the emacs manual: (info (emacs) Customizing Key Bindings) and for the gory details, the emacs lisp manual: (info (elisp) Keymaps) Nick PS. Not sure how much emacs you know - if any/all of this is obvious, please disregard.

Aside: Hitting ``M-: (info (emacs) Customizing Key Bindings)`` gives me an error about the info file not existing. I installed Emacs 23.2.1 in CrunchBang Linux (Debian Stable) and (IIRC) org-mode 7.8.06 via a Debian package. Any ideas?

I don't know if there is a separate doc package on your distro (or any distro for that matter): I generally install emacs from source and both the emacs and elisp info files are built and installed along with it. Nick PS. C-x C-e will evaluate a form in any bufferm, with no need for ``M-: foo RET''

A data point: I've the same broken info system on the ssame version of CrunchBang. I really like cb, but there are wrinkles like that. The TODO for solving that hasn't percolated up my list yet :-) Best, Brian vdB

When I installed emacs23, emacs23-common came along for the ride. But I saw a message implying that Debian does not consider emacs documentation free (!?!?), so the info files may be in emacs23-common-non-dfsg in this case. Nick
