What When - For Google Calendar Extension

'What When' is a minimal extension that allows you to create events using your own words.
Type things like \"buy groceries at 6\" or \"hike sunday at 11am - 2pm\".
Then by pressing Enter, this addon will open a new tab with your new event pre-created in Google Calendar, where you may add finishing touches or just save the event.

This addon is open source!
Check out the code at https://github.com/ivocass/whatwhen

# Usage
-Write what you want to do and when, in your own words.
-It works best if you type first the title of your event and then the date.
Otherwise your event title might be reduced to a single word (known bug).
-Tip: no need to write \"pm\". The extension assumes you mean \"pm\", unless you type \"am\".
-Tip: you can shorten words, like: \"tue\", \"aug\", \"tmrw\", \"tom\"
-Tip: you can simplify \"12:45\" as \"1245\"
-Tip: to add an ending date, type both dates separated by a \"-\"
-You can test sentences at https://sherlock.neil.gg/

# Examples
-\"leave at 6\" <-- will be set for tomorrow if today is later than 6pm
-\"essay due tomorrow by 10am\"
-\"run 10k on sunday at 1\"
-\"museum in 2 weeks at 12\"
-\"vacations from tomorrow at 6 - apr 2 at 11\"
-\"hike on sunday 11am - 4\"
-\"lunch with client tmrw 12 - 1\"
