While capturing a task, it is possible to add a scheduled date. Consider this capture template:

("y" "Repeating Task" entry
           (file "~/inbox.org")
           "* TODO %?
   SCHEDULED: %^{Scheduled}t"
           :empty-lines 1)

The prompt for entering date lets me enter date and time. But not the repeater cookie.

I could not find any variable that can capture the repeater cookie.

Is there a way I can prompt for a repeater cookie? If not, is it at least possible to put the cursor on the right ">" so I can quickly enter it?

  • Maybe someone else knows how to add a repeater from the calendar prompt, but I don't think it's possible. I think the easiest way to deal with this is to have %^{Scheduled}t%? and then press C-b and enter your repeater cookie after selecting the date and time. For the headline. You can replace the current location of %? with a prompt, like %^{Note heading}. Commented Nov 25 at 18:51
  • I don't know how to add a repeater from the calendar promp either, but what is wrong with doing it manually? I just move to the proper place with arrow keys and type the repeater cookie by hand. I should say that I rarely create entries with repeater cookies, so spending time writing complicated org-capture templates for such infrequent use, just does not make sense for me. I also doubt that the complicated template would actually speed things up, so if you want to do it for "efficiency", I think you'll be disappointed. Commented 2 days ago
