Description
I am using the {tab} character in my agenda_event_format: "{calendar-color}{cancelled}{start-end-time-style}{tab}{title}{repeat-symbol} {reset}{calendar}{reset}", and here is my output.

This is easier to read in a screenshot, posted here.
While the duration formats are the same length on different events, it seems that depending on the calendar there are different tab lengths applied to each event.
Despite the intended function of the tab control code, I would love to be able to format the list in some sort of column-based output, so that I could have a column each for time, summary, and calendar name. I await the discussion in this issue.

Start by reproducing the shown khal calendar -a Calendar -a Classes output with the supplied agenda_event_format and {tab} control code. Compare tab expansion across events and calendars, then define and verify consistent columns for time, summary, and calendar name; the issue thread contains the discussion to review before deciding what “done” means.
