Keyboard Shortcuts
Quickly create entries, search them, and navigate between views using Fantastical's many shortcuts. (If you find that some shortcuts are not working, it is likely that macOS has active system shortcuts that are conflicting. You can re-map these shortcuts in System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts.)
Modifier Keys
- Option-click the menu bar icon to open the Full Calendar Window.
- Option-double-click a date or event in the Mini Window to jump to it in the Full Calendar Window.
- Option-drag to duplicate an event in the day, week, and month views.
- Option-drag in the week view to create a timed event that repeats across multiple days.
- Hold command and option, then drag to create an event over an existing event.
- Dragging an event in the day and week views snaps to 15-minute increments. Hold down shift while dragging to disable this.
- Press the option key when changing an Exchange category to replace existing categories on the event.
