Hello,

I really would like to have the possibility, to navigate with the arrow keys (or page-up / page-down) through days or events in the calendar. At least keyboard shortcuts for "Next/previous day/week/month" buttons would we very appreciated.

I hoped, that "supernova" would have these possibillities, but I could not find them. Did I missed something?

Thanks an greetings

The [ and ] keys move to the previous/next day/week/month, depending on the view.

Oh sorry, now I remember, that I allready searched for that a long time ago... I forgot about it because in order to get the sqare brackets on german keyboard I had to use ' ALT GR + [ ' or ' ALT GR + ] ' and this is not very comfortable. As far as I know there is no way of changing the shortcuts - or is there?

Thanks for your effort!

There is an add-on, tbkeys-lite, that can create shortcuts, but I don't think it's possible for commands in the calendar tab. You might get a solution in the Issues section on the add-on's support site.
