Nextcloud's add event dialog

SUMMARY
Right now, when we click on the "add new event" button a full window appear with tons of options like timezone, repeat, ubication, tags, description, etc. But to be honest, most of the time we just want to add a quick event, like "date with my girlfriend at her house" put the time and date and maybe a tag and adding an event can take too long, moving from keyboard to mouse and again to keyboard, and pressing TAB jumps on checboxes and other stuff so at the end you need to move to the mouse. 

My idea is, when we click on the add event button an overlay sheet appears with just summary, calendar and time options, in a way that can be easy to jump from one textbox to another with the TAB key. If we press a "more" button, then the complete dialog appears. This is similar to Nextcloud's behavior (see attachment). This way can be faster and less cumbersome to add events.

Thanks for this awesome application!
