Google Calendar Natural Language Input

Use natural language to create Google Calendar events. Updated 'Rip Quick Add' with quality of life features.

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. See the info button in the extension for more details. HOW TO USE : 1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store 2. `Command+E` to open extension menu. Swap `Command` for `Ctrl` for all cases below for Windows users. 3. Type an event name, date, and time in natural language, eg "Get flowers for wife next week" will create a calendar event called "Get flowers for wife" with the date 7 days from today. Another example: "Schedule a call with Peter next Friday at 4pm" will create a calendar event prepopulated for the following Friday at 4pm called "Schedule a call with Peter". 4. Press `Enter` 5. A Google Calendar page will open. Press `Command+S` to save the event, then `Command+W` to close. 6. Congrats, you just created a calendar event using natural language with NO mouse movement! Your carpal tunnel thanks you.
