Combining todo.py with the awesome window manager

If you use awesome as your window manager, you might want to use todo.py directly from anywhere in your work. Here is how to configure <modkey>+<t> to prompt for a todo.py command:

Type if you use awesome with the default configuration, you can type

vim ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua +/"mypromptbox[mouse.screen]:run()"

to jump to the configuration of the "Run:" prompt. We now generate a second prompt for todo.py by adding the following lines:

awful.key({ modkey },            "t",
          function ()
              awful.prompt.run({ prompt = "todo "},
              mypromptbox[mouse.screen].widget,
              function (cmd) awful.util.spawn ( string.format ( "path/to/todo.py %s", cmd ) ) end,
              nil,
              nil )
          end),

where you should replace 'path/to/todo.py' by the path to your todo.py executable.
