3.5.1.2 Create Timestamps

All commands listed below produce timestamps in the correct format.

(org-time-stamp) ‘C-c .’

Prompt for a date and insert a corresponding timestamp. When point is at an existing timestamp in the buffer, the command is used to modify this timestamp instead of inserting a new one. When this command is used twice in succession, a time range is inserted.

(org-time-stamp-inactive) ‘C-c !’

insert an inactive timestamp that does not cause an agenda entry.

normalize time stamp ‘C-c C-c’

Normalize timestamp, insert or fix day name if missing or wrong.

(org-date-from-calendar) ‘C-c <’

Insert a timestamp corresponding to point date in the calendar.

(org-goto-calendar) ‘C-c >’

Access the Emacs calendar for the current date. If there is a timestamp in the current line, go to the corresponding date instead.

(org-open-at-point) ‘C-c C-o’

Access the agenda for the date given by the timestamp or -range at point

(org-timestamp-down-[u]-day) ‘S-LEFT S-RIGHT’

Change date at point by one day.

(org-evaluate-time-range) ‘[PRE] C-c C-y’

Evaluate a time range by computing the difference between start and end. With a prefix argument, insert result after the time range (in a table: into the following column).
