[Google] Open events in view mode instead of edit

theblackhole commented 3 years ago

This PR updates the Google Calendar event url to open it in view mode (a modal with event's details) instead of edit mode. This prevents unwanted modifications, especially in workspace environment as we deal with mostly RSVP events from colleagues:

Sometimes we just want to reply yes or no
Or to only display the event in a bigger calendar (in order to have a context)
Or to only show participants

If you want to keep a shortcut to edit the event, I suggest to add a pencil button for this purpose (not in this PR, I don't know how to do it).

Hmm, seems /calendar/event?action=VIEW&eid=... redirects to /calendar/u/0/r/month?eid=...&sf=true to view the event popup in the Month view.

I'm can understand the need for an option, but I'll probably leave the default on editing the event.

Looks like the current regex replacement code is editing the https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=...&ctz=Etc/UTC which redirects to the web month view like this PR does.

I've added a config toggle in the Google Calendar config tab switch between opening the event view or month view.
