Dear all, Many, many thanks for all your responses! I tried the diary one which seemed like the simplest to set-up. It indeed adds an entry, but in a strange way:it adds a level 1 headingfor the year, a level 2 heading for the month, a level 3 heading for the day and a level 4 heading for the eve

I enclose some code that I find quite useful for this purpose (i.e., to get a similar "feel" to inserting tasks in a traditional agenda). It basically uses capture but speeds things up a bit and allows taking times from an agenda time grid. Cheers, --Manuel ;;

Dear all, Many thanks for your responses. So as I understand it,there are two ways to achieve what I am trying to do: either through diary, or through capture. I am not sure which I should choose, though. Since it seems my initial message was somehow unclear, let me try to explain what I am try

Dear all. [...] For TODO, org-agenda-capture (bound to "k" I believe?) already does what you think Shérab wanted, I would have thought? What is missing? I understood it this way too. If you have a template defined for "event" it is "k e" and you're done... -- eduardo mercovich Donde se c

Eric, IIUC, that would add an entry to the 'diary' file. I thought perhaps that Shérab meant something different, namely to capture a new TODO item that was scheduled for that date. In any case, I think that latter thing is also an interesting thing to do. Is there an easy way to do that? Be
