I realize that I can change a scheduled timestamp with C-s C-s, and I often do. But I often find myself needing to move appointments such as the following back and forward a day: * An appointment <2011-08-04 Thu +1w> If I am on the headline, the easiest way (for me) to navigate to the headline is C-n C-e. Then I can type S-left or S-right and quickly move through the dates; the cursor, moreover, will be in a convenient position for typing RET and adding a line of notes. This, for me, is a bit more convenient than typing C-n C-3 C-f or C-s <, etc. >> I believe the current behavior of org-at-timestamp-p is consistent with >> that of the *-at-point functions. > > Agreed.

From a UI perspective, however, I would suggest that a bit looser behavior adds some convenience to org-mode. For instance C-c C-o will currently open a link if the cursor is at the point before or after it. [[http://www.google.com]] ^ here ^ here Best, Matt
