Hi William.
This can be achieved by editing your soSIMPLE Action Script.
Scroll down to the section that starts with:
Else If [ $event_type=”Edit” ]
Right after the “Find” step, test for whether your option/alt key is being held down. If it is, then duplicate the found record before proceeding. (our sample script defines $modifer at the top of the script). Your new snippet will look something like this:
Else If [ $event_type=”Edit” ]
#EDIT EVENT #
# – User is editing the event by dragging it on the calendar
# – Our example opens a new window off-screen, finds the event, and sets the fields to the dragged area closes the window.
# – Since this an edit from the client-side calendar is just date, time and/or resource, you don’t need to confirm the change.
#
New Window [ Style: Document ; Name: “Event” ; Top: -3100 ; Left: -3100 ]
Go to Layout [ $data_layout_name ; Animation: None ]
Set Variable [ $toc ; Value: Get(LayoutTableName) & “::” ]
Enter Find Mode [ Pause: Off ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $event_id_field ; $event_id ]
Set Error Capture [ On ]
Perform Find []
Set Error Capture [ Off ]
#
If [ $modifier = 8 or $modifier=16 ]
Duplicate Record/Request
End If
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $date_start_field ; GetAsDate($from) ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $date_end_field ; GetAsDate($to) ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $time_start_field ; If ($untimed; GetAsTime(“”);GetAsTime($from)) ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $time_end_field ; If ($untimed; GetAsTime(“”);GetAsTime($to)) ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $event_unit_field ; $unit ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $show_only_field ; 1 ]
Set Field By Name [ $toc & $unscheduled_field ; $unscheduled_flag ]
#
# — sets id to refresh just that event in the calendar
Set Variable [ $id ; Value: GetField ($toc & $event_id_field) ]
Now, every time you drag an event on the calendar with the option or alt key held down, you’ll be duplicating the event.

If I’m not mistaken, what you’re calling the tooltip is the QuickInfo panel.
The distinction is that the tooltip shows up when you hover over an event. The contents of the tooltip is determined by a field in your database (the one mapped to “tooltip” in soSIMPLE Settings).
The QuickInfo panel is only enabled when you turn on “Touch Enhancements”. It’s intended to be used on touch devices because it provides an easier way to preview the event, and provides larger buttons for our big fingers to click.
The text in the QuickInfo is the “Event Details” field – the same as what’s shown in the event cell on the calendar. The date display is automatically calculated based on your local language. Although we did verify a bug in the date display in the QuickInfo panel, which shows “Week Of..” in multi day events. That will be fixed in an upcoming release. In the meantime, you can paste the following code into “Custom JS” to patch your version:
scheduler.templates.quick_info_date = function(start, end, ev){
if (scheduler.isOneDayEvent(ev)){
return scheduler.templates.day_date(start, end, ev) + ” ” +
scheduler.templates.event_header(start, end, ev);
}else{
return scheduler.templates.day_date(start, end, ev) + ” – ” +
scheduler.templates.day_date(end, end, ev)
}
};
For your white-on-white icon, I actually recommend hiding it by changing your soSIMPLE Settings “Options” to have “Event Action Icon” only show Delete. The Details button will always show unless the calendar/event is read-only. The Edit button is usually the same function as the Details, so it’s redundant in that window. You can also add the following to your Custom CSS if you want to keep the button:
.dhx_qi_big_icon.icon_edit div {
color: black;
padding-left: 18px;
}
Note: the “Edit” button is different functionality from the “Details” button only when “Always Show Details to Edit” is turned off and only applies to web calendars (Server-Side Async). This effectively turns on in-line editing, and the edit button can then be used to enter the event editing area.
