I agree, I found I need it as well from time to time. I'm thinking to add it as a global keyboard shortcut that would show the main UI + a typing bar where you can type a simple syntax for creating the event. As you type the date, the calendar will also switch to that date behind the typing bar so you can have an overview of other events before adding the new one. I'm not sure about the syntax yet. Maybe: any text here is name of event =day-month-year :hour:minute #calendar-name @invitee1 !map-location ...anything after =day would be optional so for the simplest case one could schedule a dentist appointment on the next 14th day at 10am Dentist appointment =14 :10am And each token should probably have autocomplete to avoid ambiguity.
