Re: [Orgmode] How is C-c > and C-c < meant to be used?

[Carsten Dominik]

I would agree that the use is limited.

C-c > will actually look for a time stamp at point and jump to that
date in the calendar.

C-c < is meant for people who use the calendar first to walk around  
an pick a date, and then want to create a link to this date.
This can be done using C-c l to store a link and then C-c C-l to  
insert it, or you can just go to the org-mode file and insert the  
stamp with C-c <.  I don't know if anyone is using it - I am not.
