I missed the ++ usage in this context completely. Yes, this gets me close to
what I was looking for.
Ideally, something like this should be available in the org file, rather than
in the agenda. The reason being is that it is a common project planning task to
shift all related tasks back by some set period of time. I can see expanding
the notion to take dependencies into account, but that is not critical. I'm
just looking for a way to do this routine in the project management & planning
contexts in my own work and in my organization....
But if I shift back and forth to the agenda, then I can make this work. I'm
assuming that the 'Cc C-s' and 'C-c C-d' commands don't work on regions or on
everything under a heading?
