manage todos with fzf

# requirements

• fzf
• a terminal (example uses alacritty)
• xorg (might work on wayland)
• vdirsyncer - synchronize caldav
  • set this up to sync files
• todoman - assist with vTODOs

# printing todos and description in fzf

#/usr/bin/env bash

todo --porcelain list |
	jq -r '.[] | "\(.id|tostring)\t\(.summary)"' |
	fzf --with-nth 2 -d "\t" \
		--header=$'\e[1;34m<ctrl-e>\e[0m edit \e[1;34m<ctrl-d>\e[0m mark done' \
		--preview-window "hidden" \
		--preview "todo -h show {1}" \
		--bind 'ctrl-n:preview-up' \
		--bind 'ctrl-p:preview-down' \
		--bind='ctrl-e:become(todo edit {1})' \
		--bind='ctrl-x:become(todo done {1})'

This binds ctrl-x to mark a todo as done, and ctrl-e to open todoman’s TUI to edit the task. Fetching the preview is a bit slow, so it is hidden by default. Actually, the whole thing is a bit slow, but it is still acceptable.

# what it cannot do yet

todoman doesn’t show subtasks, which is a shame.
