Hi Marius, the difference between date and SCHEDULED: date is that date will cause the entry to appear in the agenda only on the given day, whereas SCHEDULED: date will also cause the entry to be displayed on the current day if it is scheduled in the past and has not been marked DONE yet. To see what I mean, put the following entries into an agenda file: * Test 1 SCHEDULED: 2011-11-05 Sat * DONE Test 2 SCHEDULED: 2011-11-05 Sat * Test 3 2011-11-05 Sat Because Test 1 it is not marked done, if you refresh your agenda view today, you will see something like this: Sched. 2x: Test 1 Test 2 does not show up because it is marked DONE and Test 3 does not show up because it does not contain the SCHEDULED keyword. (Note that Test 1 will only show up on the agenda view for today and the day it was scheduled for when you look at the agenda view for a day in the past or future, for example by using the weekly or monthly view or going forward/backward with the f and b keys. For more information, please refer to Section 8.3, Deadlines and scheduling, in the Org manual. Hope this helps, Jan

[O] org-capture-template: SCHEDULED: obsolete?
Hi I set up org-capture-templates like this: (setq org-capture-templates '((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline Tasks) * TODO %?\n%^t\n%a))) If I fire up C-c a a in ~/org/agenda.org, I'll see the entries created via C-c c. They are displayed in the foreground color. I am wondering if I should adjust the above template to insert the date as SCHEDULED: date instead of just date? Apparently, the string SCHEDULED: is not required for an entry to appear in agenda view. However, a difference I saw was that SCHEDULED: date entries appeard in a different color ( a light green on my black background). An advantage of using the shorter version is, that the string Scheduled: does not appear in agenda view which creates more space for the Todo's heading. Cheers, Marius
