Event Previews

See note content and navigate links without opening files.

Hover Previews​

Hover Preview

Quick hover preview showing event time, title, and configured display properties

  • Enable in Calendar Settings (UI) → "Enable event preview"
  • Hover over any event to see a quick preview
  • Shows note title and first few lines of content

Tooltip Note Preview​

Event hover tooltips include a preview of the note's body content. The first three non-empty lines of the note (after frontmatter) are appended to the tooltip, separated by a horizontal rule. The content is loaded lazily on the first hover over each event to keep the calendar responsive.

Enlarged Modal Preview​

Enlarged Event Preview

Expanded modal view showing complete event details, properties, and clickable links

Access: Shift+Click event, or right-click → "Enlarge"

Shows:

  • Complete frontmatter with all properties
  • Clickable wikilinks, tags, and URLs in frontmatter

Special features:

  • Recurring instances (physical): Source button to navigate to source event in calendar, or right-click → "Go to source" (navigates to source event in week view)
  • Virtual events: Shows the source event configuration, right-click → "Go to source" to navigate to source event in calendar
  • Source events: Instance dropdown to view all generated instances with past filter

Opening Event Files​

Right-click on any event to access file operations:

  • Open file: Opens the event file in the current workspace tab
  • Open file in new window: Opens the event file in a detached popout window, making it easier to edit complex properties like checkboxes and list properties directly in the markdown editor while keeping the calendar view visible

Quick Time Logging​

Right-click on timed events to quickly update start/end times:

  • Fill start time from current time: Sets start time to now (instant logging of actual start)
  • Fill end time from current time: Sets end time to now (instant logging of actual completion)
  • Fill start time from previous event: Chains events by matching previous event's end time
  • Fill end time from next event: Adjusts boundaries by matching next event's start time

Perfect for logging real execution times without opening the edit modal. All operations are fully undoable.
