A todo command line todo manager ✔️

Hi there, I'm Darri 👋

I'm an open source enthusiast and the founder of Vice Versa and CTO of NeckCare.

Here are some projects that I've been working on, please check them out:

• island.is : center of development for digital Icelandic government services ✨
• td-cli : a todo command line todo manager ✔️
• cheat : cheat-cli for personally managed cheetsheet 🤞
• alfred-nym : synonyms and antonyms Alfred workflow ✌️

td-cli's Issues

Two small tweaks for the new interactive mode.

Thanks for implementing my suggested features in #1.

Tried it and loved it, great addition.

There are however two small things I noticed.

• Can't add anymore when I deleted everything, the option goes away, there is only recover and quit.
• Can't start interactive mode if there are no todo's

I think everything else is fine

[Feature Request] Tasks in Markdown

Have you considered enabling Markdown format for the tasks in edit mode?

When I started using the tool, I limited myself to using single line descriptions of the tasks. As I used the tool, I came up with a system that works best for me. My use case expanded to using indicative titles for the first line and a full-blown numbered task list underneath it that are a bunch of smaller tasks that contribute to complete the broader task defined.

A recursive task completion engine for the items defined within a task would be good but I'm guessing that's not where the project is headed. Markdown support would assist though. I could use strikethroughs for example! I currently retort to adding a "Complete" tag at the beginning of a bullet that tells me it's done.

Document --interactive in --help

The version of td-cli in Ubuntu focal's repository does not show the interactive flag in the help command, unless you run td --interactive --help

Unclutter home directory

Change groups in the interactive mode

It would be nice if you could change the group you are working in, in the interactive mode.

Terminal colors don't reset after td-list

Terminal colors are not reset correctly after running "td list" or plain "td", at least in the case where there are no todo items.

Make project configs work in monorepos

Need to traverse the filesystem instead of falling back to the git repo.

feat: :sparkles: Be able to use the command line command 'edit' when in interactive mode

When using td-cli from the command line, one can edit a td item by running:

td <id> edit

which opens the item in $EDITOR which allows the item to have multiple lines and container much more information.

However, when using interactive mode, there is no similar functionality. The EDIT command only allows to edit the first line of a td item.

My feature request would be to add that ability to interactive mode.

Due date management?

I'm curious as to how due dates could be managed with td-cli? Do you foresee a need to have due dates added in td-cli?

OSError when piping

When piping the output of td, a call to os.get_terminal_size() raises an OSError that is never caucht:

Demonstration with a little snippet:

import os
print("foo")
print(os.get_terminal_size())

This works fine when running the script, but running python example.py | grep foo throws:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/example.py", line 5, in <module>
    print(os.get_terminal_size())
foo
OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

---

This looks quite easy to solve, so I already forked and will start working on it asap.
FYI, I am trying to display my todos in conky, using this project to convert ansi color codes to conky color commands by piping td into ansito -, and give that to conky to display as text.

td-cli

Sync with Google Tasks api

Have you thought about syncing with Google Tasks api?

That would make this perfect to have a backend like that.

Just my two cents.

Really nice tool.

Unicode support

Installed td-cli in virtual env with pip3 install td-cli:

# pip3 list
Package    Version
---------- -------
pip        21.0.1
setuptools 56.0.0
td-cli     2.0.1
wheel      0.36.2

Not able to enter e.g. German umlaut (e.g. ä as in my name, Tobi Schäfer):

Not to mention emoji et al.

Toggle completed/uncompleted tasks in the interactive mode

It would be nice to be able to toggle completed/uncompleted tasks in the interactive mode. The current setup leads you to delete completed tasks to get them out of the mode. I know you can hide them with a flag, but it would be nice to be able to do it in the mode.

Sort TD list - [feature request]

I would find it very useful to be able to sort my ToDo list alphabetically. I usually organize my todolist with a project prefix. I'm wondering how I would go about filtering or sorting the db query if possible...

Add more options to the interactive mode.

• Add todo
• Edit Todo
• Delete todo

I think that would make going through your list, cleaning it and adding tasks for the day a much nicer experience.

Plain text/md file instead of the database?

Is it possible to use the markdown file instead of the database? This would be in line with todo-txt, and allow one to synchronize and edit on the cloud very easily?

Interactive td-cli quits after resume pushing any arrow button

If I do this:

1. Run td -i
2. Suspend with ^Z
3. Resume with fg
4. Press arrow down button ↓ to select next entry

– then td-cli simply quits and I need to restart it.

Not sure if this is an effect of my setup, would be glad if someone could verify / try to reproduce.
