Copying Events​

A selection of events can be copied from the events table and pasted into a different application. Events can be copied and pasted as a plain list containing the time of the event and an event description, in Markdown format (suitable for note-taking applications like Obsidian, Notion, and Joplin), or as a tab-delimited list (suitable for spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel). Here is how to copy and paste a selection of events:

  1. Select one or more events by clicking the first event to include and then shift-clicking and/or control-clicking to add other events
  2. Right-click on the selection of events
  3. Select the format to copy the selection of events from the context menu
  4. Paste the selection of events into the target application (e.g., Obsidian)
