Browsing the month grid and list

Scrolling ahead

The grid flows week by week. Scroll up or down with two fingers over the grid and it carries on into the weeks before and after without stopping at the end of a month, then settles on a whole week. The month name follows the weeks you are looking at.

The list below runs on across months too. Scroll to the bottom and the next month’s events and reminders follow straight on.

Moving between months

To do this	Use
Previous / next month	The ‹ › buttons next to the month name, or ⌘← / ⌘→
Jump back to today	The Today button, or ⌘T
Go to a date	Click the month name, or ⇧⌘T

The grid puts the week of the 1st at the top, and the list moves to the first day of that month (today, for the current month).

Going to a date

Click the month name or press ⇧⌘T and a date field with a calendar opens below it. Type a date and press Return, or click a day in the calendar, and Calinsight moves to that month, selects the day and starts the list from it — even years ahead or back. Press Esc or click outside the card to close it.

Selecting a day

Click a date in the grid to select it (the cell gets a rounded highlight) and the list below starts from that day. The selected day is where ⌘V (paste) and ⌘N (new) go (Creating events and reminders).

Reading the list

Events and reminders appear in date order under a heading for each day (“Today”, “Tomorrow”, or the weekday and date).

• Each row is tinted with the color of its calendar or list, and so are the bar on its left and its text
• Times are on the right, as in “9:0010:00”. An event that spans several days shows “start” on its first day and “~end” on its last
• An all-day event is a single line with a small calendar mark and “all-day” on the right
• A reminder has a circle before its title — click it to mark the reminder done (Completing reminders). If its due date has a time, the time is on the right. A reminder with a priority shows !, !! or !!! before its title
• Click a row to select it: it fills with the calendar’s color and its text turns white. Double-click it to edit (Editing and deleting)

Highlighting related items

Click an event or reminder in the list to select it; its day gets the same highlight in the grid and its bar or square grows briefly to show you where it is. Option-click and everything related is highlighted at once — entries in the same calendar, with the same title, or both. Highlight Related in the right-click menu does the same. You choose which rule applies in Settings: the Calendars tab for events, the Reminders tab for reminders (Settings).

How the grid and the list work together

The grid and the list scroll on their own: looking ahead in the grid doesn’t move the list you are reading. These actions bring the other one along:

• Click a day in the grid and the list starts from that day
• ‹ ›, Today and going to a date move both the grid and the list
• Select a row in the list and, if its day isn’t fully visible in the grid, the grid scrolls just far enough to show it

Turn on Scroll the calendar and the list together in the General tab of Settings, and scrolling either one brings the other to the same day.

Filtering the list

Each press of the Filter button at the right end of the bar moves the list to the next state below. Hover over the button to see which one is active.

State	What the list shows
All events and reminders	Events, plus both completed and incomplete reminders
Hide completed reminders	Events, plus incomplete reminders
Events only	Events alone
Incomplete reminders only	Incomplete reminders alone
Completed reminders only	Completed reminders alone

It starts on All events and reminders, and your choice is remembered next time you open the window. The filter applies to search results too.
