todd 0.0.7

An interactive terminal based todo.txt file editor

todd is an interactive console TODO-list manager with VI key bindings.

It provides a minimalistic interface with a view on your todo list, following in the spirit of spirit of ranger and mutt.

The file format conforms to todo.txt. This means you have full control over your data and can choose to store it locally or in the cloud (like Dropbox). You can use different applications to access your tasks on your desktop or mobile devices.

Thanks to the creator and contributors of todotxt-machine for providing the basis for this project.

Config File

You can tell todd to use the same todo.txt file whenever it starts up by adding a file entry to the ~/.toddrc file. If you want to archive done tasks, you can specify a done.txt file using an archive entry. You can also set you preferred colorscheme or even define new themes.

Here is a short example:

[settings]
file = ~/todo.txt
archive = ~/done.txt
enable-word-wrap = True
colorscheme = myawesometheme

Color Schemes

Here is a config file with a complete colorscheme definition:

[settings]
file = ~/todo.txt
colorscheme = myawesometheme

[colorscheme-myawesometheme]
plain=h250
...

You can add colorschemes by adding sections with names that start with colorscheme-. Then under the [settings] section you can say which colorscheme you want to use.

The format for a color definitions is:

name=[foreground],[background]

Foreground and background colors are follow the 256 color formats defined by urwid. You can see all the colors defined here.
