☑️ todue

Keep track of TODOs and deadlines using an interactive markdown TUI.

---

Layout preview

This is roughly what the UI looks like in the terminal

  [todue]                Chores
  [x] (2024-06-20 16:00) Get groceries
  [ ] (2024-06-20 20:00) Do the dishes
  [ ] (2024-06-20 21:00) Take out the trash

Control scheme

The control scheme is vim-like and features a minimal line editor as well as datetime-input.

• j/k: move focus down/up
• J/K: move focused entry down/up
• <space>: toggle focused entry completed
• q: save and quit
• Q: quit without saving
• g/G: move focus to top/bottom
• s: cycle sort mode.

TODO

Things that might be implemented in the future

• more controls

  • a/A: append to entry text (enters line editor)
  • c/C: change entry text (enters line editor)
  • i/I: insert before entry text (enters line editor)
  • o/O: edit new entry (after/before current - enters line then datetime editor)
  • r: replace entry
  • //?: search entry by text (backwards) (wrapping)
    • later on regex search
  • u/<ctrl-z>: undo
  • <ctrl-r>/<ctrl-y>: redo
  • z: collapse/expand current group
  • yd: copy entry date
  • yt: copy entry text
  • yy: copy entire entry
  • 0-9: as prefix for repeated commands

• line editor with vim commands (prefixed with mode)

  • normal: <esc>: exit line editor
  • normal: a/A: append (to end)
  • normal: i/I: insert (at beginning)
  • normal: d: delete
  • normal: x: remove character
  • normal: c/C: change
  • normal: r/R: replace
  • normal: s/S: substitute (equal to cl and cc respectively)
  • normal: v: visual mode
  • normal: y/Y: copy
  • normal: p/P: paste
  • normal: u/<ctrl-z>: undo
  • normal: <ctrl-r>/<ctrl-y>: redo
  • normal: f/F and t/T: find (until) (backwards)
  • normal: //?: search (backwards) (wrapping to beginning of line)
    • later on regex search
  • insert: w,b,e: like vim, including uppercase equivalent

  • insert: <ctrl-w>/<ctrl-backspace>: delete last word
  • insert: <ctrl-shift-v>/<shift-insert>: paste
  • visual: a/i: select all/inside of...

• datetime editor

  • highlight date part (YYYY for example)
  • d: remove entire deadline
  • <enter>: go to next part
  • 0-9: input number (ignoring invalid inputs like months >12)

• sort mode: cycle through modes and set ascending/descending separately

  • r: insert before entry text (enters line editor)

• collapsable todo group hierarchy

  • detect indent width from md
  • group entries together under previous entry with lower indent level
  • display expandable groups in tui

• config

  • keybinds
  • some other options (?)

• some :-commands?

  • regex substitution
  • set commands for config entries
  • help command that shows controls
  • set with no key shows explicitly set keys (config and live)
  • config wizard & write current config state to config file
