RE: [Orgmode] How to snooze a repeating item
Thanks, Luke but I don't think that works. I want a command that will move the event forward a day but still keep the repeat at a set interval from the original day. It's still something I find I need to do frequently but have no way to do other than manually. =( :AMN: -Original Message- From: Luke Amdor [mailto:luke.am...@gmail.com] Sent: Sun 1/17/2010 7:26 AM To: Nuxoll, Andrew Cc: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org Subject: Re: [Orgmode] How to snooze a repeating item i've been using the org-agenda-date-later function to schedule things later.

But here's how I would do it: o go to the agenda, move to the item and press RET to visit it. o copy/paste the subtree (C-c C-x M-w and C-c C-x C-y). o In one copy, advance the date by a week (to skip tomorrow's reminder). o In the other, advance the date to Wed and delete the repeater. HTH, Nick PS. To paraphrase Bernt: Repeat after me: It's just text.

Re: [Orgmode] How to snooze a repeating item
That's what I would do too. Also, I suggest making this entry an habit with org-habit to see if you like it. At Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:09:17 -0500, Nick Dokos nicholas.do...@hp.com wrote: Andrew M.
