Description

khal would be even more fantastic (at least for me), if I could tag new events with

  • tentative / confirmed / cancelled
  • free / busy
  • private / public / date-time-only

and if I could tag events 'cancelled', instead of deleting them. VEVENTs support this, and obviously it'd have to be displayed accordingly, e.g.

  • tentative: italics
  • confirmed: bold
  • cancelled: strikethrough
  • free: maybe (like this)
  • busy: normal

Research direction

Start by reviewing khal's existing VEVENT handling and terminal event display, then map the requested status, availability, and privacy tags to the application's current event model. Done means users can assign these tags to new events, preserve cancelled events, and see each requested visual distinction consistently.
