Tweaking todo.sh
Posted by Jeff July 17, 2006
I’ve been playing with using a todo.txt file to manage tasks, and managing it using todo.sh - see the demo movie here. It works darn well and I may even stick with it for GTD. The screencast shows usage– to use it, you type into a command line -
add: add a new task.
list: list tasks
.. and so on.
To save some keystrokes (a to add a task, l instead of list), add the following synonym mapping after the line with “action=$1″:
case $action in
“a”)
action=”add”;;
“l”)
action=”list”;;
“lp”)
action=”listpri”;;
“ls”)
action=”list”;;
“r”)
action=”report”;;
“x”)
action=”del”;;
esac
