Quickly enter a time when creating Calendar events
Nov 27, '12 07:30:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
In month view in Calendar, if you double-click, you can enter a name for an event. By default, however, Calendar makes this an all-day event. You have to double-click the new event, then set the time. If you end the name of the event with a time, such as "6 pm," it then enters that as the start time. For example, double-clicking on November 30th, then quickly typing "Dinner with Paul 6pm" enters the event at 6pm on the 30th.

Kirk - You can just type 6pm Apple Meeting in BusyCal 2.0 Quick Menu from menu bar and it will add event at 6pm ;-). Still wish you could do this in main calendar view.

Good to know. I don't use the menu bar icon, but I'll try it out. ---

You can also add a time range eg "Dinner with Paul 6pm-9"
Try using Fantastical
If you find yourself entering in calendar entries often, you may want to try Fantastical. I picked it up cheaply as part of a bundle and use it often.

I use LaunchBar to make calendar entries (among other things). It's a paid application, but I'm sure Quicksilver does the same thing.

Good hint - now, I have a question for anyone out there: if you have multiple "calendars" set up in "Calendar" (Mountain Lion's iCal)... is there an easy way to assign the new event to a specific calendar? For example, if you have a calendar called "home" and a calendar called "work," can you get it to appear on the "work" calendar selectively?

Unfortunately you can't choose a calendar using this method. In Mountain Lion's Calendar preferences, though, you can choose to make new events in either a) your default calendar, or b) the selected calendar (a setting that returned in 10.8). This feature is another reason I use Fantastical :) |
