Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm glad to see that you're thinking
in advance about the i18n issues that such a feature will raise.
Step 1 would have an immediate use and we have some clues on how
this can work thanks to Bear and Bryan (who added the "military
time" parsing recently in the date field).
On step 2, when we discussed CLI (Command Language Interface) UI
long time ago, Lisa suggested to use the same field as the search
field for this. i.e.:
- type "whatever": searches for "whatever" in the repo items
- type "/command x y z": launches "command" with the parameters "x
y z"
The plus of course is that it prevents clutter on the screen. The
minus is that it's not super discoverable. I personally think the
plus overcome the minus in this instance but that needs to be
discussed.
Such a list of commands has never been specified or even discussed
but it looks like your "/event" and "/task" could be the first 2 ones.
For some history/background on the CLI UI, see:
