Create a new event from highlighted text on a web page or in a Mail message.

One of the great things about the Calendar being integrated in the browser is that you can skip a bunch of steps when creating a new event. Say you’re browsing the web or reading your emails and want to create an event or a task from what you see. All you need to do is:

  1. Highlight the text you want as the event title.
  2. Right-click on the selected text to open the context menu.
  3. Click on Add as Calendar Event.
  4. Fill in the rest of the event’s information.
  5. Click Add Event.

Now you have a new event in your calendar in no time and you can just carry on what you were doing.

Choose how much information you want to see about events in the Calendar by choosing either the full, compact or minimal view.

Events in Calendar can include a lot of information. Whether you see everything or just the basics is for you to decide.

To switch between these views, click on the View buttons in the top right corner of the Calendar tab, next to the Filter and Search field.

Alternatively, change the view in Settings > Calendar > Calendar Settings > Events View.

Full – Shows the event time, title, description, location and link of the event.

Compact – Shows the same as above, but if the description or link info are too long only limited amount of that info will be displayed.

Minimal – Only event time and title are shown.

Keep the event editor inline with other events or have it pop out in a dialog. The choice is yours.

For adding and editing events, Vivaldi Calendar offers two types of editing modes.

Inline editor – edit events inside the calendar view with event information divided into tabs with all surrounding events visible.

Popup dialog – edit events with all information about the new event visible simultaneously, but surrounding events potentially hidden by the popup dialog.

To make your choice between the two, go to Settings > Calendar > Calendar Editing > Edit mode.

Use single key shortcuts to switch between Calendar views.

Vivaldi Calendar offers 6 different views for your events – day, week, multiweek, month, year and agenda. You can switch between them by clicking on the view buttons in the top right corner of the Calendar (below Search) or by using keyboard shortcuts.

To switch views using your keyboard, first enable Single Key Shortcuts in Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. Then, press one of the following keys on your keyboard:

  • Day – D
  • Week – W
  • Multiweek – N
  • Month – M
  • Year – Y
  • Agenda – A

As with any shortcuts in Vivaldi, you can change them in Settings > Keyboard.
