todo

todo is a simple tasklist manager in python with support for an openbox pipemenu to edit and view your tasklist at anytime. It is rather feature-sparse, only providing a way to simply track and manage items, without priorities or deadlines (which will perhaps be implemented in future versions)

Openbox

Put an entry in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml, making sure to adjust for the proper path to this script:

<menu id="pipe-tasklist" label="Task List" execute="python /path/to/todo.py*8 menu" />

Then put the following wherever you'd like it to be displayed in your menu:

<menu id="pipe-tasklist" />

Conky

You can easily add this script to your conky configurations with the following line:

${head /path/to/list 30 20}

This will append all of the items in the todo file directly to your conky

Usage

Here is a list of arguments that can be passed to the script

• No arguments: Run with no arguments to see your task list
• new: Be prompted to add a new task
• del: Delete a task based on it's position in the tasklist array
• done: Complete a task based on it's relative position (array location + 1). You can see which number a task is assigned by running todo.py with no arguments
• menu: Print the openbox pipemenu xml
• add: Add all arguments after add as a new task (ex: todo add finish project will add 'finish project' to the list)
• test: See what openbox commands are set. Useful for debugging
