Show 1st week of next month in calendar

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

I've not used emacs.

Feature value

It's easier to schedule tasks if one week of next month is also visible in the calendar view. Currently if I want to schedule something on Oct 1, and today is Sep 30, I have to press 7 keys: >kkkkww. With the modification 2 keys ww.

Actually, if we are optimizing the calendar, it would be nice to get rid of the pipes |, without them jumping between dates would be twice as fast :+1:

I agree it's easier, but it's not so easy to implement it. It would require much more logic, and a proper way to distinguish what belongs to next/prev month (highlighting and such). I think simplest thing would be to jump to the 1st day of month when switching months, that would remove a need for additional movements. Pipes are there because they delimit the day. If you would put a cursor in between two days (without the pipes) and tried to submit it, Vim would collect one or another, potentially something that you do not expect. I could add an additional validation to not allow submitting if cursor is not on a number though. I'm open for suggestions on that.

[gerazov]

Both make sense :+1:

[kristijanhusak]

I pushed a change that does 2 things:

1. It jumps to first day of month when going forward, or last day of month when going backward
2. Removed pipes and added a requirement for a cursor to be on a number

This makes using calendar a bit smoother. Let me know what you think.

Awesome! :sunglasses: thanks :pray:

I don't want to necrobump but I was about to create an issue about the same thing around one year later :sweat_smile:

[jgollenz]

I'm unsure I understand the issue fully. Do you propose that

• the week that the last of the month is displayed in full, even if those days are not part of the current month

OR

• do you want a whole week of the next month displayed, regardless of which day of the week is the last of the current?

[gerazov]

The first one. It would be useful in weeks like the current one where Monday is 31st. But it's only a marginal thing if it's too difficult to implement :wink:

Reopening for now, else this will slip through the cracks.
