todotxt interactive interface that forces you to specify attributes

full-todotxt

todotxt interactive interface that forces you to specify certain attributes.

For each todo, you have to specify at least one project tag (e.g. +work) and a priority (A).

Though not required for each todo, it will prompt you want to specify a deadline, which will store a deadline key-value pair to the todo with the datetime as the value.

For example:

(A) measure space for shelving +home deadline:2020-05-13-15-30

... which specifies 2020-05-13 at 3:30PM.

If the todo.txt file is not provided as the first argument, it tries to guess based on typical locations

The my.todotxt.active module in HPI parses the deadline back into python:

$ hpi query my.todotxt.active.todos -s | jq 'select(.deadline) | .raw' -r
(C) 2023-10-01 drink water +self deadline:2023-10-02T00-00-0700

python3.8+

  -t, --time-format TEXT          Specify a different time format for deadline:  [env var: FULL_TODOTXT_TIME_FORMAT;

  -f, --full-screen / -p, --prompts

• $FULL_TODOTXT_FILE environment variable
• $TODO_DIR/todo.txt
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/todo/todo.txt
• ~/.config/todo/todo.txt
• ~/.todo/todo.txt
• ~/.todo.txt
