Several years ago, iCal had an Events List view in addition to the Day, Week and Month Views. Somewhere along the line (I think it was Leopard), the List view disappeared. Many people, including myself, have missed the List view that lets you scroll quickly through all of your Events. I recently discovered a way to see the missing List view in iCal.
The method to view the List view is obscure and as far as I know, not documented by Apple. I just happened to stumble on it buried deep in a forum discussion somewhere.
At the upper right of the iCal window is a search field. In the search field, type a period followed by the return key. iCal thinks about things for a few seconds and then displays a List view of your Events at the bottom of the window.
To close the List view, click the X in the iCal search field to clear it.
