About GCal Quick Task
GCal Quick Task
Google Calendar's Q shortcut opens an Event by default. Every single time, you have to click over to "Task." This extension removes that extra click.
What it does:
Press Q on Google Calendar. The popup opens in Task mode. Your cursor is already in the title field. Start typing.
When you add a time to your task, the extension automatically switches your task list from "My Tasks" to "Scheduled."
That's it. Three small automations that save you a few clicks every time you create a task.
No permissions. No data collection. No background activity.
The extension only runs on calendar.google.com and only activates when you press Q. Nothing is tracked, stored, or sent anywhere.
