Events Runner

This is Plasma Runner Plugin, which provides you ability to add new events or todos to your calendar from KRunner (Alt+F2). With this runner you may enter into KRunner something like following:

• event Project deadline; 13.02.2010 - create new event with summary "Project deadline" for 13.02.2010;
• todo Complete my work; tomorrow 12:30; Business - create todo with given summary and deadline datetime with category "Business";
• event Travel to mountains; from yesterday to 31.02.2010; Travel - create event with given time range and category;
• event Something; 13:30 - something at 13:30 today;
• event Other event; yesterday
• event Meeting; today from 12:00 to 14:00
• todo Buy new phone; in 2 years
