Custom default event duration on Fantastical 2

Run this in Terminal.app

defaults write com.flexibits.fantastical2.mac DefaultEventDuration 1200

1200 = 20 minutes * 60 seconds

PS

defaults is a powerful command. You can change the settings of most mac apps with it, which is useful in the case above (where fantastical 2 gives you a dropdown of options that dont work for you) or in automating your system setup (like when you get a new machine)

The way I found this default was I used:

defaults read > ~/Desktop/defaults.txt

to print all my defaults into a file. Then I opened my editor a searched for "fantastical"

Once you find the "domain" you can find the "key" of the setting you are looking for and then you can change it with:

defaults write <domain> <key> <value>         writes key for domain

Just typing defaults will give you all your options.
