So in my understanding thiese reschedule the event for the previous/next day and I assume that the prefix argument can be used to reschedule by a different number of days. Best wishes, Shérab.

Will do, but usually columns are not very handy for me -- I'm blind and using a braille terminal. In such a context linearity matters quite a lot. Best wishes, Shérab.

To go back to the other window (the agenda view) I used C-x o and that worked but the agenda view had not been updated and it didn't get updated when I then pressed 'o' to close other windows. IS that the expected behaviour? Somehow I'd like that the agenda view gets refreshed automatically at some point, if that's possible? Thanks again Eric, it does help! Shérab.

Re: Editting from the agenda view
previous-buffer and next-buffer might be useful. emacs has oddities here, so idk if it will work for you. i find that placing (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer)), which you would think would be a no-op, sometimes fixes those problems. [there is also the emacs global mark ring, but htat has at least 2 problema s we have discussed on this ml; 1) does not go ack to correct location and 2) uniquifies duplicate entries in addition tot he usual issues like e.g. only a basck not a forward.] On 11/22/19, Pankaj Jangid wrote: > Shérab writes: >>> I usually press Enter on the entry, which takes you to the file from >>> where it came, and you can edit it there. >> I tried and it worked, thanks!

If you use instead of , the underlying org file will be popped up next to the agenda, instead of replacing it. When you're done editing use `other-window' to get back to the agenda, then "o" to close other windows. Hope that helps, Eric

I tried and it worked, thanks! Does this leave the agenda view and you then return to it as you enter it the fiirst time, e.g. C-c a a ? Is there a way to return to the agenda view exactly where one was when pressing enter? Thanks to all, Shérab.
Re: Editting from the agenda view
Hi Shérab, I usually press Enter on the entry, which takes you to the file from where it came, and you can edit it there. If there's a way to remote-edit it from the agenda view, I'd also love to know about it :) --Diego On Fri, Nov 22, 2019 at 4:27 PM Shérab wrote: > Dear all, > > Apologies for what's probably a totally dumb question but I am unable to > find the answer although I did read the doc. > > When I am in an agenda view, say the weekly view, how can I edit one of > the listed entries?

Editting from the agenda view
Dear all, Apologies for what's probably a totally dumb question but I am unable to find the answer although I did read the doc. When I am in an agenda view, say the weekly view, how can I edit one of the listed entries? I may want to do that either because I notice I have made a typo that I would like to fix, or because I would like to re-schedule the entry for another date. Which workflow should I use to achieve this? Many thanks in advance for your help for this feature I am very much interested in, Shérab.
