Thanks - I'm familiar (though rusty) with the mechanism of @commands in
myLeoSettings.leo etc.
My first experiment following Edward's hint used just
c.executeMinibufferCommand('insert-headline-time')
(I didn't know about 'c.k.simulatecommand()')
and clearly I can work on the exact behaviour here.
More generally, I was intending to flag the seeming corner-case in
behaviour. I will do some experimenting...
Cheers, J^n
