I can add my sympathy for the desire of functionality to add date under
point to the kill ring. I was searching for such a feature at some point
(didn't find it) and wrote this function which I bound to RET in
calendar-mode-map:
(defun tn-calendar-kill-date (&optional arg)
"Kill new a string based on point in calendar buffer in iso format
With no prefix ARG, kill the date as an iso date.
With one prefix arg ('C-u'), kill the date as an iso week.
with two prefix arg ('C-u C-u'), kill as both the iso week and date."
(interactive "p")
(let* ((date (calendar-cursor-to-date))
(encoded-time (encode-time 0 0 0 (nth 1 date) (nth 0 date) (nth 2
date)))
(date-string (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d" encoded-time))
(iso-week-string (format-time-string "%gW%V" encoded-time))
kill-string)
(cond
((= arg 4)
(setq kill-string iso-week-string))
((= arg 16)
(setq kill-string (format "%s %s" iso-week-string date-string)))
(t
(setq kill-string date-string)))
(kill-new kill-string)
(message "Put %s to kill-ring" kill-string)))
Best regards
