Shift-rightarrow or leftarrow to reschedule the task

[balaramadurai]

Hi @ichernyshovvv,
Wonderful package! Loving it!

May we have shift-rightarrow or shift-leftarrow for rescheduling the selected task? This will be very useful and consistent with org-agenda.

Thanks and have a great day!
Bala

Hi, thank you

Could you please explain why this would be helpful? I think that current method of rescheduling is the most efficient and precise way. Instead of inaccurately rescheduling tasks with several presses of Shift-right/left arrow, you could just press [s] and enter the exact time you need (format: HHMM).

Just as with another issue about showing breadcrumbs in the echo area, this is one of the features native Org agenda provides. And people do use many of (seemingly arcane) agenda features.

The problem is that each reschedule command involves org-ql call to get the new data. So, redisplay of the buffer takes a time. With reschedule commands bound to Shift+up/down (e.g. reschedule to prev/next 30 mins) it would felt laggy. Just moving around rectangles seems to be responsive for me though:

One possible solution to increase the speed of moving timeblocks around is to implement a variable that holds all the pending changes (rescheduling, TODO status changes, etc) as a stack. That way, it's also much easier to implement undo commands. The pending operations could be applied by calling a special command for that (e.g. ot-apply-changes [a]).

Also, see `org-agenda-change-all-lines'. Similar idea that is already implemented in built-in agenda.
