# Status Bar Integration

The status bar item provides a quick, "at-a-glance" view of your schedule directly in the Obsidian footer. It ensures you never miss a transition between tasks without needing to keep the calendar tab open.

## Features

*   **Active Event Tracking**: Displays the title and remaining time for the currently active event (e.g., `Event: Deep Work (ends in 45m)`).
*   **Upcoming Visibility**: If no event is active, it shows the countdown to the next scheduled event (e.g., `Next: Team Sync (starts in 1h 15m)`).
*   **Quick Navigation**: Clicking the status bar item opens a context menu with shortcuts to:
    *   Open the note for the current event.
    *   See the next 5 upcoming events with their start times.
    *   Directly jump to any upcoming event's note.

## Configuration

You can toggle this feature in **Settings → Display and Behavior**:

*   **Show Event in Status Bar**: Enables or disables the footer item.
*   **Title Truncation**: To keep the status bar tidy, event titles are automatically truncated if they exceed 25 characters.
