Description

Currently I use todoman to create and manipulate tasks. This tool uses the same vdir store format as khal and can store the tasks in the same folders as khal.

It would be great if khal showed these VTODO tasks in the calendar with a nice unicode glyph to identify such events.

Research direction

Start by tracing how khal reads events from the shared vdir store and how it renders calendar entries in the terminal. Compare the existing event handling with the VTODO behavior described here; the work is done when tasks appear in the calendar and have a distinct Unicode glyph.
