vim-taskwarrior

a vim interface for taskwarrior

Taskwarrior is a command-line todo list manager. It helps you manage task lists with projects, tags, dates, dependencies, annotations, recurrences and apply complex (or simple) queries with attribute modifiers, boolean, regex filters and produce any number of reports, built-in or customizable reports, attributes and color themes. Task keeps data in JSON text files and it's always improving. Find out more at https://taskwarrior.org and read man task and man taskrc.

vim-taskwarrior is a vim plugin that extends taskwarrior with an interactive interface. It features a rich set of mappings and commands, is easy to customize, and makes adding, modifying, sorting, reporting and marking done, fast, easy and fun! Homepage: https://github.com/farseer90718/vim-taskwarrior, patches welcome!

Prerequisites:

This plugin requires Taskwarrior 2.2.0 or higher, although >2.3.x is required for taskd sync functions, and recommended in general, and well worth the price; free :) see: https://taskwarrior.org/download/

Vim version 7.x is required.

Suggested plugins

• vim-airline for better statusline information.
• unite.vim for easier bookmark/history operations.

If you experience line-wrapping issues, add the following line to your .vimrc

let g:task_rc_override = 'rc.defaultwidth=0'

If you experience task truncation (vim-taskwarrior not showing enough tasks), add:

let g:task_rc_override = 'rc.defaultheight=0'
