TodoCurses

A curses-based application for managing todo.txt files.

A lot of the features are based on how todotxt.net handles things. I really liked the overall design of the application, just not the fact that it didn't run in my linux terminal. To solve this, I decided to roll my own using Ruby and Ncurses. There was already a robust library for handling todo.txt files, and Ncurses was something I'd been meaning to learn for a while.

Gem available on Rubygems.org

Source on github.com

Supports Ruby >= 2.0.0

Grab the gem:

gem install todo-curses

Then you'll probably want to make an alias in your .*rc file. Here's mine:

alias t="todo.sh"
alias tt="vim ~/dev/todo/todo.txt"
alias ts="cd ~/dev/todo;./save.sh;cd -;t archive"
alias ttt="todo-curses ~/dev/todo/todo.txt"

This gives three ways to interact with the todo.txt file, depending on the task at hand. Because todo-curses is still in the experimental phase, I use Vim for my day-to-day work.

• Open todo.txt files and view a scrollable list of items
• Move to the next item with j
• Move to the prev item with k
• Create new items with n
• Toggle done / not done state with x
• Move priority down with shift+j
• Move priority up with shift+k
• Completed tasks are archived to done.txt on exit
