About Google Calendar and its shortcuts
Google Calendar's keyboard is one of the quickest wins on this site: single letters switch between day, week, month and schedule views, and others move through time or create an event. Most people who use it daily never discover them.
Shortcuts must be enabled in settings before they do anything, which is the usual reason they seem not to exist. As a web application, it also gives up some combinations to the browser.
