Murphy would need to do something pretty invasive to get the timer to execute in that scope, I think. (Not relevant for this context, but threads don't play nicely with cl-letf; if you cl-letf bind a function definition in one thread and then yield execution to another, the second thread can see the cl-letf binding.) Anyway, I'd be glad to see API proposals (backward-compatibility concerns aside).

Yes, as far as I can see, org-todo uses the TIME argument of org-add-planning-info for the org-extend-today-until feature, but there's not a way for the caller to directly specify the timestamp. > Do I have to cl-flet org-current-time or something similar? Something along those lines would probably be the most straightforward. Light testing with the command below suggests overriding current-time is sufficient: (defun my-org-todo-time-machine () (interactive) (cl-letf (((symbol-function 'current-time) (lambda () (apply #'encode-time (org-parse-time-string "2019-11-27 Mi 16:44") (call-interactively #'org-todo)))
How to mark task as done at specified (past) time?
Hi, with Emacs 26.2/org-mode 9.1.9, I have a repeating task that I close with a helper function: | (defun tl-entry-done () | (interactive) | (find-file "/path/to/file.org") | (goto-char (org-find-entry-with-id "ENTRY-ID")) | (org-todo 'done)) Every time I do this task, I get an acknowledging mail, so instead of manually closing this task (and forgetting to do that, or delaying it for some time) I want Gnus to mark the task as done /at the time when the mail was sent/, i. e. in: |- State "DONE" from "TODO" [2019-11-27 Mi 16:44] I want "2019-11-27 Mi 16:44" not to be the current time, but some other (past) time. How can I mark a task as done at a specified time? Looking at org-add-planning-info, there seems to be a mechanism to pass a timestamp, but it does not seem to be exposed at higher levels (?). Do I have to cl-flet org-current-time or something similar? Tim
