Extension summary

Google Calendar used to have a natural language input to create calendar events. Think "Get groceries next Thursday from 3:30 to 5pm". They deprecated this feature, leaving millions of unhappy users in the process.

Google Calendar Natural Language Input allows you to use a quick shortcut (Command + E) to open a textbox and type in whatever event you want in natural language to automatically create a Google Calendar event page with all the details pre-filled.

For example: press 'Command + E' (Ctrl + E on Windows) to pull up a text input to add your event details.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Have an event name. "Get groceries"
  2. Have a time or date. "next Monday", "tonight at 7pm", "in 2 days at 6pm"
  3. Optional: multiple events separated by a semicolon ;
  4. Optional: add a recurrence. "everyday", "every 2 months", "every year"
  5. Optional: add details. "d(bring an umbrella", "d(read this before link.com)"
  6. Optional: add a location "l(Central Park)", "l(Pizza place on the corner)"

If the extension doesn't work for you, go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts to see what other extensions are using the Command+E shortcut, and change them to something else.

I don't do review often, but man this thing is great! AND it didn't request any permissions for Google Calendar. I'm loving the simplicity and usefulness of this plugin.

Please add the ability to include location? "See Alien:Romulus at The New Parkway Theater Thursday at 9:30pm" resuts in a GCal entry with the theater name prepopulating the Location field
