Events
Events are simply files (usally text files) created by the calendar when you interact with a day (click/return key) On interaction, your default editor will open the event file. (see Customize/Events section for formatting advices) On editor closing, calendar will reopen and the day with a linked note will appear colored.
A script in avaible in calendar menu to show event from online calendar - using caldav -, that’s a very light support, you can only show events on calendar (day, time, description, location), but you won’t be able to sync or push new event to it. (see scripts/caldav2file.py file for details)
