Overview

The Edit menu provides a variety of commands for editing selected items. The available commands will vary depending on the current selection. It also provides commands for undoing or redoing most operations, including the snoozing/dismissal of reminders or deletion of items.

Edit Menu Commands - Selection Independent

Regardless of the current selection, the following commands will always be available on the Edit Menu...

Undo

This command will undo the most recent operation. The exact operation will be included as part of the Undo command's caption (example: Undo Delete Event). After undoing an operation, the next recent operation will be associated with the Undo command, and the operation that was undone will be assigned to the Redo command. There is no limit to the number of operations that can be added to the undo stack and associated with the Undo command. The only time the undo stack will be cleared is when an operation is performed, such as importing events from an iCalendar file, that is too complex to be undone. The following are examples of operations that can be undone:

  • Creating or deleting an item (calendar, event, category, etc)
  • Dismissing a reminder
  • Snoozing a reminder
  • Changing an item appearance (calendar, category, etc)
  • Rescheduling an event
  • Editing an event
  • Creating a new item (calendar, event, category, etc)
  • Categorizing or prioritizing an event
  • Marking an event as completed

Why upgrade to Pro?

The Pro version greatly improves searching for events.

  • Instead of a single found event being selected in the Calendar View, and then needing to command Find Next to find additional events containing the same text, all found events will be instantly shown in a tab of the List View.
  • Multiple search result tabs can be kept open at the same time, allowing you to switch between search results. The search results will also dynamically update as events are created or modified.
  • The Pro version also allows searching for contacts.

Redo

This command will redo the previous undone operation. If multiple operations were undone, the Redo command will redo each operation in the opposite order it was undone. When a new operation is performed, the Redo command will become disabled until an operation is undone. The list of operations that can be redone is the same as the ones that can be undone, and the Redo command's caption will include the operation description (example: Redo Delete Event).

Search

This command will cause the Search window to be displayed, where you can search for events containing specified text. The first found event will be selected in the Calendar View. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+F.

Find Next

This command will search for the next occurrence of an event containing previously specified search text. The previous search direction (up or down) will be used. The keyboard shortcut for finding the next event is F3.

Edit Menu Commands - Calendar, Category, Priority, or Location Selected

When a calendar, category, priority, or location is selected in the Calendar Items area, the following commands will be available on the Edit menu...

Delete

  • This command will delete the active or selected calendar, category, priority, or location.
  • Before the item is deleted, you will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
  • The keyboard shortcut for deleting an item is the Delete key.
  • When deleting a category, priority, or location, any existing events associated with the deleted item will be updated to remove the association.

  • The keyboard shortcut for accessing the Calendar Properties is F2.
  • To access the properties of a selected category, priority, or location, use the Tools menu instead.

Rename Calendar

  • This command will allow the calendar to be renamed.
  • If a name is entered that is already used by a different calendar, the name change will be rejected. Calendar names must be unique and non-blank.

Categorize Calendar

  • This command will allow all events belonging to the calendar to be re-categorized.
  • For example, if you've imported a calendar of birthdays, but all events are set to the "Default" category, you could categorize all events belonging to the imported calendar to the "Birthdays" category by using the "Categorize Calendar" command.
