Just enter your event the same way you would tell someone: Natural Language Input
In Fantastical you can literally just type:
Grocery shopping at Wegmans Thursday at 5pm
Lunch with Matthew at 123 Main St at 1:30 Monday
Family vacation from August 9-18
Staff meeting Tuesday 2pm alert 20 min
Soccer practice every Tuesday at 6
Sam's birthday every year on 5/16
Pizza party on the 2nd Friday of every month at 1pm
Flight 593 on Monday 3pm EST to 6pm PST
Want a reminder instead of an event? Just type in "task", "todo", or "reminder" before your sentence:
todo Pay rent
reminder Buy basil
------- This makes putting events a lot more convenient, please try Fantastical app to get a better picture of their natural language input, after using it you would never want to go back ____

Maybe this functionality should be added to Lumo. Or Proton could look into acquiring Fantastical*. Either way I don't think it's worth their while to replicate features that aren't either in high demand or considered 'industry standard.'
*[Edit]: Proton Admins, if you read this, look up the article on Fantastical in Fast Company dated October 29th, 2024 ;)

This would be a huge improvement to Proton Calendar.

I agree completely. I am getting rid of Fantastical, in favor of Proton Calendar. I dearly miss the ability to simply use the microphone to speak into the “add event” field and create a calendar entry. But even just being able to type exactly what I want would be great.

I would die for such a feature. One simply doesn't know how convenient it is until you try it. Unfortunately, it seems to be an exclusive feature for privacy-nightmare, data-hungry apps.

ToDoist has similar functionality and it works great.
