I agree with Dave here. 'f' on a past-dated item maybe should move it today on the first press, and then into the future on subsequent presses. John +1 Me too I sometimes run into this situation where I just want to shift past-dated items to today. I never had a use case where I wanted to shift an item from past to past+n-daystoday. I think this is all very reasonable, and this is how it works now. - Carsten

Rainer Well, as indicated somewhere else a C-c C-s +1 for shifting to tomorrow or C-c C-s . for shifting to today does exactly what I wanted. The power is in the house already. Yeah, it's just a question of having to think absolutely when you want to think incrementally. That's a lot of keystrokes when what I want is to hit `f' (or something) 3 times to move the items to three days from now. Having bound F3 to kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter F4 kmacro-end-or-call-macro for the first entry in the agenda I want to shift forward 3 days I enter F3 C-c C-s +3 Enter F4 for each following entry I put point in the line and press F4 for 3 items that makes a total of 8+2=10 keypresses for 4 items that makes a total of 8+3=11 keypresses etc. Best, Rainer
