User arguments

Key bindings

List of all key bindings can be accessed in the wiki and via ? key in the program.

Settings

On the first run, program will create a configuration file at ~/.config/calcure/config.ini. You can edit parameters, colors, and icons in the config.ini file. An example of the config.ini file is here. Explanations of all settings are in the wiki.

Troubleshooting

• If your terminal shows empty squares instead of icons, probably it does not support unicode. In this case, in config set: use_unicode_icons = No.
• Weather widget slows down launch of the program and requires internet. If that is a problem, switch weather off in config: show_weather = No.
• If weather is incorrect, set your city in config weather_city = Tokyo. By default, this setting is empty and program tries to detect your city automatically from your ip.
• If after install the program does not run by just running calcure, try to restart your terminal, it may need to recheck the binaries.
• AUR package is autdated, please use pip install calcure for installation.

Roadmap

• Translations (currently done: English, French, Russian, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese)
• Support for .ics files in read only mode
• Improvement of the daily view (several days on the page)
• Support for .ics files in read and write mode
