2.0

Taskopen was initially intended as a simple wrapper script for taskwarrior that enables interaction with annotations (e.g. to open, edit, execute files). As it turned out, there are a bunch of interesting use cases enabled by this interaction functionality. Taskopen has thus evolved into a pretty powerful customisable tool. The required customisations are, however, not easy to see and require a deep understanding of the inner magic. A rewrite seems inevitable to make the really interesting use cases accessible to a larger user base.

This page collects the ideas and intentions behind the taskopen 2.0 rewrite and shall serve as documentation.

• Why another rewrite?
• Concepts
• CLI
• Configuration
• Implementation
• Envisioned use cases

Milestones and status:

• documentation first: define CLI, configuraton and concepts
• implement core functionality (old feature set)
• implement new functionality and demonstrate new use cases

Open ideas/features/issues:

• label-based commands (#51)
• UDA-based commands
• search in notes (#124)
• taskopen should respect the current taskwarrior context
