 8.2 Creating timestamps
 =======================
 
 For Org mode to recognize timestamps, they need to be in the specific
 format.  All commands listed below produce timestamps in the correct
 format.
 
 ‘C-c .     (org-time-stamp)’
      Prompt for a date and insert a corresponding timestamp.  When the
      cursor is at an existing timestamp in the buffer, the command is
      used to modify this timestamp instead of inserting a new one.  When
      this command is used twice in succession, a time range is inserted.
 ‘C-c !     (org-time-stamp-inactive)’
      Like ‘C-c .’, but insert an inactive timestamp that will not cause
      an agenda entry.
 ‘C-u C-c .’
 ‘C-u C-c !’
      Like ‘C-c .’ and ‘C-c !’, but use the alternative format which
      contains date and time.  The default time can be rounded to
      multiples of 5 minutes, see the option
      ‘org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes’.
 ‘C-c C-c’
      Normalize timestamp, insert/fix day name if missing or wrong.
 ‘C-c <     (org-date-from-calendar)’
      Insert a timestamp corresponding to the cursor date in the
      Calendar.
 ‘C-c >     (org-goto-calendar)’
      Access the Emacs calendar for the current date.  If there is a
      timestamp in the current line, go to the corresponding date
      instead.
 ‘C-c C-o     (org-open-at-point)’
      Access the agenda for the date given by the timestamp or -range at
      point (Weekly/daily agenda).
 ‘S-<left>     (org-timestamp-down-day)’
 ‘S-<right>     (org-timestamp-up-day)’
      Change date at cursor by one day.  These key bindings conflict with
      shift-selection and related modes (Conflicts).
 ‘S-<up>     (org-timestamp-up)’
 ‘S-<down>     (org-timestamp-down-down)’
      Change the item under the cursor in a timestamp.  The cursor can be
      on a year, month, day, hour or minute.  When the timestamp contains
      a time range like ‘15:30-16:30’, modifying the first time will also
      shift the second, shifting the time block with constant length.  To
      change the length, modify the second time.  Note that if the cursor
      is in a headline and not at a timestamp, these same keys modify the
      priority of an item.  (Priorities).  The key bindings also
      conflict with shift-selection and related modes (
      Conflicts).
 ‘C-c C-y     (org-evaluate-time-range)’
      Evaluate a time range by computing the difference between start and
      end.  With a prefix argument, insert result after the time range
      (in a table: into the following column).
