It may be feasible to make scheduling and deadlining act on region;
lets wait what Bastien thinks when he is back from well
deserved vacation.

I have been experimenting to get this done with a simple function
one could bind to e.g. `C-s M-s'. (Or one could defadvice
the proper functions (?), I have to read up on that ...)

In my first tests, it somewhat works, but the logbook
is updated only on the last item, not sure why that is, yet.

I will investigate later if no one jumps in and improves/replaces
this prototype:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-schedule-shift ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((acton (if (org-region-active-p) "region" 
                  "tree"))
         (val (read-string (concat "shift "acton" by: "))))
    (if (equal acton "region")
        (org-map-region '(lambda () 
                           (org-schedule nil val)) (region-beginning) 
(region-end))
      (org-map-tree '(lambda () 
                       (org-schedule nil val))))))

(defun my-org-schedule-shift-region ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((val (read-string "Shift region by: ")))
   (org-map-region '(lambda () 
                      (org-schedule nil val)) (region-beginning) (region-end))))

(defun my-org-schedule-shift-tree ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((val (read-string "Shift region by: ")))
   (org-map-tree '(lambda () 
                      (org-schedule nil val)))))
