Time travel

While not the flashy kind that introduces paradoxes, Neverkin time travel allows you to navigate over your timeline or move your events around with high precision. To open the time travel dialog, press the T key while on the Timeline.

If you have any events selected, you will see the Move selected events checkbox as well. If it’s toggled on, then the events will move according to the time you select. Otherwise, only your view moves.

A preview updates as you type. Press Enter to confirm.

The simplest input is a date, written the way your calendar formats them. If your dates look like 00:00 March 01, 2026, you can type:

• 12:00 May 04, 2030 — that exact moment

You can also type part of a date, as long as neighbouring fields stay together:

• 14:23 — that time of day, keeping the current date
• May 04, 2030 — that date, keeping the current time of day
• May 04 — May the 4th of the current year
• September - for named units like months, this is also accepted

Anything you leave out keeps its current value.

In essence, if you type your calendar’s full date format or a long enough sub-string, it should be recognized. For more ambiguous cases like the year alone, see advanced syntax below.

When you only want to change one thing, use a selector instead of writing out a full date. The position of the number decides what happens:

• Unit first — y2000 — sets the unit to that value (absolute)
• Number first — 2000y — steps by that many units (relative)

Months are zero-indexed: M0 is January, M3 is April.

Negative numbers step backwards. Setting a value has no direction — y2000 lands on the year 2000 regardless of where you start.

Separate selectors with spaces. They apply left to right:

• y2000 M3 d1 — 1st of April, 2000
• 3d 15m — three days and fifteen minutes from now
• y2000 -1d — the same date in the year 2000, minus one day

Absolute and relative selectors mix freely.

Adding ! after a selector matches the start of that unit:

• y2000 — year 2000, keeping the current month, day and time
• y2000! — 00:00 on the 1st of January, 2000

d1! gives you midnight on the 1st; h6! gives you 6:00 sharp.

The single letters above are shorthands. Each unit also accepts its full name and short name, so y2000, yr2000 and year2000 all do the same thing.

For single-letter shorthands, case matters when two units share a letter. In the Gregorian calendar, minutes and months are both m — minute is lowercase, month is uppercase. Day (d or D) works either way.

As the selectors are slightly different for each calendar definition, you may refer to the following tables for reference about the built-in calendars.
