Description

I usually navigate the list to edit/delete upcoming events and almost always forget to press tab.

Is there a way to start ikhal with the cursor in the list view?

Research direction

Start at the ikhal entry point and trace how the initial view and cursor focus are selected. Confirm the current startup behavior, then verify that launching ikhal places the cursor in the list view without requiring Tab.
