GCal Default Calendar Setter Tester Extension

This extension offers a quick convenient way to create events with a selected default calendar via two methods:

1. Command-X: Pressing Command-X automatically redirects user to event creation link with the chosen default calendar already selected

2. Hover and Shift key: Hovering over a date on the monthly view of the google calendar tab then pressing the Shift button redirects user to the event creation page with not only the chosen default calendar selected but the date hovered over is also pre-filled into the date field

This promotes smoother & more seamless scheduling capabilities on Google Calendar, thereby boosting productivity!

[Note: There is a toggle switch setting which allows you to determine whether the shortcut Cmd-X will work browser-wide or only site-wide (where it will only redirect you to an event creation link with the chosen default calendar already preselected if you are on a tab that is displaying Google Calendar)]
