After reading dashard's hint about adjusting visible hours in iCal via the scroll wheel, I did some iCal experimenting of my own. I don't know if either of these are documented.

I found that if you activate (click into) a time or date entry field within the iCal info panel, and then hover over one of the individual date or time fields, you can change that number using the scroll wheel. You don't even need a modifier key. This will work in Day, Week or Month views.

You can also use the + or - keys (with no modifier keys) to increment (+ key) or decrement (- key) a number while clicked into a date or time entry field in the iCal info panel.

Amazing the things you learn or are inspired to discover via the Mac OS X Hints site!
