A minimalist Todo list, based on the ncAuth UI.
ncTodo accepts a couple command line arguments, but is intended to be used interactively.
--help
Prints the help page & exits.
--file [file]
Specifies a Todo file, which if unspecified reads ./tasks.todo.
Each task is defined on a new line - subtasks are defined by tasks indented by \t underneath the parent task. Tasks are marked as completed by prefixing an asterisk (*) before the task, but after the tabs.
In the interactive UI, you will see a list of your Todo tasks. Tasks with subtasks have a progressbar running through them to show how many have been completed.
k & j, g & G
Navigate the Todo list; move up, down, and jump to the start or end. If you have more Todo tasks that can fit on your screen, they will scroll with the selection.
K & J
Move the selected task up & down.
h & l
Collapse & expand the selected task to view its subtasks.
o & O
Create a new task in the currently expanded parent, below or above the selected task. Will call ./edit.sh for a new description.
i
Create a new task as a subtask of the currently selected one. Will call ./edit.sh for a new description.
e
Edit the currently selected task. Will call ./edit.sh $current_text for a new description.
d & D
Delete the currently selected task, but only if it is marked as completed. If a task has subtasks you need to hold shift, which will recursively delete all subtasks that are completed.
x & r, X & R
Mark a task as completed & reset a task. If a task has subtasks you need to hold shift, which will recursively mark all subtasks.

Dependencies:
libncurses- Standard C libraries
Then run:
gcc src/nctodo.c -lncurses -o nctodo
As with ncAuth, I have not specified any installation directory; the tasks list and edit.sh are found in the working directory.
To "install" it, move edit.sh and the executable wherever you want to keep your tasks file (such as your home folder), then make a script to cd to & call it somewhere in your $PATH.
