Can you use your mouse to drag an iCal event (the kind that spans days) longer or shorter?

That seems Apple-like, but I can't seem to stumble upon a shortcut or key to do it.

Just wondering smile

If you're in Week mode, just hover the mouse over the bottom edge of the end of the event until you get the 'adjust' cursor, and then drag either up/down or sideways.

Cool! Wish I could do it in Month mode though.

Maybe they felt Month mode wasn't fine-grained enough to do it justice - when you do it in Week mode, it changes in quarter-hour increments (unless you're going day-to-day) which is pretty sensible. I suppose they figured that if you want to change a 3 day event to a 7 day event, it's quicker just to double-click on it and type in the new end date smile.
