  • t:0d > today
  • t:-1d > yesterday
  • t:2w > in two weeks
  • t:3m > in 3 months
• don't hide future tasks if filter contains a threshold (even if hide future tasks is set)
• added sorting by threshold date
• fix for losing focus after using ctrl+t
• option to select currently active filter text when opening filter dialog
• show currently active filter string in status bar instead of filter number

Original Readme

This is an implemention of todo.txt using the .NET framework. As far as I am aware, it is fully compliant with Gina's spec.

There is installer for the latest version available from the release page.

Maintenence mode

Please note that todotxt.net is now in maintenence mode. I'm am happy to receive bug reports and bug fixes, but no new features will be added at this stage.

Contributors please note

If you change any of the ToDoLib files, please make sure the current unit tests pass, and add new tests where appropriate.

Please send your pull requests to the 'dev' branch.

Goals

• menu driven interface for novices
• minimalist, keyboard-driven UI for expert users
• vim/gmail/twitter-like keyboard nav (single key, easily accessible)
• re-usable library that other projects can use as a todo.txt API
• API (but not UI) runs under Mono
• full compliance with Gina's specs

Current features:

• Sorting by completed status, priority, project, context, alphabetically due date or the order in the file
• Sorting respects multiple projects and contexts
• Remembers preferences for the todo.txt file, sort order, window size and position
• Manual or automatic moving of completed tasks into an archive (done.txt) file
• Free text filtering/search
• Intellisense for projects and contexts
• Minimize to tray icon - double-click the icon or Win-Alt-T to hide or show the app
• Keyboard shortcuts:
  • O or Ctrl+O: open todo.txt file
  • C or Ctrl+N: new todo.txt file
  • N: new task
  • J: next task
  • K: prev task
  • X: toggle task completion
  • A: archive tasks
  • D or Del or Backspace: delete task (with confirmation)
  • U or F2: update task
  • T: append text to selected tasks
  • F: filter tasks (free-text, one filter condition per line)
  • I: set priority
  • 0: clear filter
  • 1-9: apply numbered filter preset
  • . or F5: reload tasks from file
  • ?: show help
  • Alt+Up: increase priority
  • Alt+Down: decrease priority
  • Alt+Left/Right: clear priority
  • Ctrl+Alt+Up: increase due date by 1 day
  • Ctrl+Alt+Down: decrease due date by 1 day

  • Ctrl+Up: increase threshold date by 1 day
  • Ctrl+Down: decrease threshold date by 1 day
  • Ctrl+Left/Right: remove threshold date

todotxt.net's Issues

Build error

Whenever I try to do a build using the following command,

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" Build.xml

I get the following error:

Utilities\EnumExtensions.cs(52,86): error CS0702: Constraint cannot be special class 'Enum' [D:\todotxt project\todot
xt.net-dev_jdckr_myfork\Client\Client_e1inze5d_wpftmp.csproj]

However, if I use the command below, the error resolves.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\msbuild.exe" build.xml

I hope this helps anyone who has a similar problem.

portable version downoad

Is there a compiled portable version for download somewhere? Thanks!

Feature-request: Shortcuts to minimize and restore window

Hi @jdckr,
great work with this fork 👍

I'd like to suggest two features:

• minimizing (to tray if set so) the window with ESC button
• a shortcut to restore the tray-minimized window.

If I run the executable a second time (via autohotkey) it does not open from tray. If you could it make so that it re-opens the window when the application is already running in background and is executed again, that would be enough for me. Minimizing on ESC can be forced via autohotkey...

Regards, Daniel

Saved sorting in filters?

When I use the August 2020 release, I do not see options to define sorting in the filters. Thanks!

Visual Studio 2019 / 2022

I've been compiling my own versions of your todo.txt. I recently updated to VS 2019 and now it won't compile. I get an error that the type of namespace MSHTML is missing. Any suggestions how to compile under VS 2019 or 2022? Thanks!
