Installation
Install from PIP
To install pter you can either clone the repository (see at the end) or, much simpler, use pip to install it:
pip install pter
If you want to use the Qt GUI qpter, you have to install PyQt5::
pip install PyQt5
Clone from github
To go the long way and clone the repository from github, these are the steps to follow:
git clone https://github.com/vonshednob/pter.git
cd pter
pip install .
There is a man-page available, but pip won’t install it by default (it
doesn’t know where to). If you want to, you can just copy it from man/pter.1
to your man-page folder (usually ~/.local/share/man/man1).
Using pter
To launch pter you have to tell it where your todo.txt file is:
pter ~/todo.txt
This will give you a listing of all your tasks order by how soon they will be due and what priority you have given them.
You can navigate the tasks with your cursor keys and edit selected tasks by
pressing e.
More default shortcuts are:
e, edit the selected taskn, create a new taskd, mark the selected task as done (or toggle back to not done)?, show all keyboard shortcutsq, quit the program
There is a complex search available (have a look at the manual for details), but the short version is:
- press
/to enter your search terms - search for
done:nto only show incomplete tasks - search for a context with
@context - search for a project with
+project - search for tasks that do not belong to a context with
-@contextornot:@context - press
Returnto return the focus to the task list
Using qpter
To launch the Qt GUI, you may (but don’t have to) provide the location of your todo.txt file::
qpter ~/todo.txt
