I would like to set up autohotkey shortcuts for creating new tasks and calendar events (so that I don't have to switch to the Thunderbird main window every time).

I know I can do so for new emails using "thunderbird -compose". What are the appropriate commands for tasks and calendar events? (Oh, and for new contacts, since we're on the topic ... )

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Wayne. But I'm looking for the shell commands, not keyboard shortcuts.

I am not aware that there is any such thing. Have you read anything to indicate that there is?

No, unfortunately I haven't. But since there is a function I can use to compose an email (thunderbird -compose) I thought it logical there should be one for new tasks and calender events. There are also similar functions for Outlook.

Thanks, that's very helpful. Doesn't look like the commands I'm looking for exist ... :-(
