There is also no good way to edit the time (hours, days, weeks.) Arrow keys no longer change the value and you can’t delete the first digit. For example if you choose to be reminded 5 days before event, you have to choose “1 day before”, change 1 to 51 and delete the 1. Nasty bug.

The Escape key does the job for me, although I tab onto the next field after the one I have edited just to be sure.

Now we have a shortcut for the Edit button. What about the Done button? Do we really have to reach for the mouse to hit Done?

In the name of interface purity and consistency, I wonder why they didn’t choose Command-L, the Edit Card command used in Address Book and Safari (to edit the URL field)?

@Paul — Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed. Clearly I need more work colleagues! ;-)

Awesome tip. Thanks!

I really didn’t like the floating edit pane. It was always in the way. This tip makes it work the way it always should have.

Oops, I meant to say ‘Attendees’, not ‘recipients’.

Strangely, if an event has recipients, double-clicking it opens a window that is fully editable. The ‘Edit’ and ‘Done’ buttons are replaced with a single ‘Send’ button.
