🔖 Feature description

Currently, When creating an event, user had to manually fill in categories, sub calendar, etc.

On mobile (especially iPhone), this is more troublesome as it's hard to exit the keyboard typing mode.

If user were to use command line to create a new event, setting up time, date, categories becomes very annoying

✔️ Solution

Similar to TaskNotes's Natural Language Creation, User could have certain prefix.

For example, after typing out the keyword "Work", it will change the categories and calendars for the note to be in automatically

For date, The Full Calendar could assume the date to be "today" when created from commend line. Or have keyword detected when typing out context:

• "Next week"
• "tomorrow" or "tm"
• "yesterday" or "yt"
• "5 may"

For time, User could type out "1700 to 1900" and it shifts the time to 5pm to 7pm. Alternatives keyword could be:

• "from 5pm to 7pm"
• "1700 - 1900"

❓ Alternatives

User can set the keyword for different event and what types of categories/calendar that want to be in.

Examples

Work

1. Keyword: work, wk
2. Categories: Work
3. Calendar: moves to /Work folder

Sleep

1. Keyword: sl, sleep, sp
2. Categories: Sleep
3. Calendar: goes to daily note

📝 Additional Context

I have my categories now in capital first, So Work, Sleep, Commute, etc. and if I didn't type out the full word or that I didn't have capitals, The category won't register. That's why this feature would be very helpful for creating, noting events fast

Hey @YouFoundJK,

Thx for the quick reply! Just tested it out and it's amazing! Tho there are some issues I had during my testing. Here are what I encountered.

1. Misunderstood the title as the time

3203 is the code for my work and it took it as the time. I tried to use "," to separate the title, category, and the time but it still didn't work.

2. Work not Stripped from the title

The "in work" name does not get stripped from title albeit being recognized and was put in the right folder.

3. Sub categories not sorted

3.1 Below are what I set up for calendar folders and categories

3.2 And This is what I had with the issue

4. Couldn't type minutes without the colon ":"

The FCR command line could not recognize the minutes after colon. I did this intentionally to find out if it work. Since I think it's very natural for me to not type out the colons. Plus it would be hectic in mobile device, at least for iPhone, not Gboard users lol, to switch to the symbol keyboard to type it out.

5. Cannot specify the end time for events

I typically use full calendar for time entry, that is, I mostly type my event when it's done. It's fine if I were to specify the duration.

However, it does not work when I want to specify the end time. I tried to do "from 4:30am to 9:30am", "4 - 9", "4 to 9" and all of them don't work.

6. Suggestions

The FCR command has loads of potential if it's good, and I think it would be very convenient for everyone who wants to create an event ==fast==. So, I recommend you could also incorporate the FCR command into the create event title. As I sometimes enjoy dragging the calendar to create an event too :)

Thx again for reading and your quick implementation!
