Miscellaneous Calendar Commands

c

Move point to today's date (calendar-current-month).

D

Display day-in-year (cursor-to-calendar-day-of-year).

?

Briefly describe calendar commands (describe-calendar-mode).

SPC

Scroll the next window (scroll-other-window).

C-c C-l

Regenerate the calendar window (redraw-calendar).

q

Exit from calendar (exit-calendar).

You can always return to the current date with c (calendar-current-month).

If you want to know how many days have elapsed since the start of the year, or the number of days remaining in the year, use the D command (cursor-to-calendar-day-of-year). This displays both of those numbers in the echo area.

To display a brief description of the calendar commands, type ? (describe-calendar-mode). For a fuller description, type C-h m.

You can use SPC (scroll-other-window) to scroll the other window. This is handy when you display a list of holidays or diary entries in another window.

If the calendar window gets corrupted, type C-c C-l (redraw-calendar) to redraw it as it was.

To exit from the calendar, type q (exit-calendar). All buffers related to the calendar will be deleted and the window display will return to what it was when you entered the calendar.
