This is more a request for a feature than an actual bug. It'd be nice if it was
possible to "copy" events in CSV (or maybe XML?) format, so they could be easily
imported in a spreadsheet or another editor.

I'd like to be able to select all the events from a given category (that I can
do) and then get the sum of all the time of the events of that category. A
copy/paste in a text editor yields an .ics format, and a paste in Excel yields
straighforward list of the events, with the time-begin and time-end in the same
cell.

I currently use a script to parse that data and give me the info I want, but
it'd be nice to be able to actually copy the
table-of-events-that-appears-on-top-of-the-calendar straight into a spreadsheet.

Reproducible: Always

file->export selected events can export to csv. (don't forget to actually select
events ofcourse...)
