Suggestion: data item "type" is confusing - rename or make customizable

[flow7]

Hi there, I'm just getting into this plugin and really love it. Stating up front: I strongly prefer using the frontmatter or property editor to create and adjust events.

Currently there is the property key "type" used to define the type of event we're creating, "background", "box", "range" etc - which is sensible. However, the key "type" is frequently used in my vaults to define the general type of that particular note. Would it be possible (and make sense) to

• customize the respective property key in settings and have it default to "type"? For example, I'd properly set it to "eventType" or similar

There might be more solutions to this, I just can't think of one right now, sorry. (One option might also be, to choose a specific key prefix for this plugin, eg. prefix all keys with a customizable prefix, such as "tl-", or "event-" etc.)

Thanks

I'm reluctant to change all the keys to have a prefix like tl- or something else simply due to the amount of disruption that would cause to existing users but allowing users to choose their own keys for type and perhaps a couple other keys would definitely be doable.

Which keys do you (or anyone) feel would be helpful to be able to customize?

• type (event-type, eventType)
• ?
