Instead of tag #YYYY-DD-MM -> #today

[mikeriss]

First I want to thank you for making this. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Is there a possibility to add an option so that all todos with #today appears on today list?

Example: [ ] get some #2021-02-19 -> [ ] get some #today

Hey @mikeriss, happy to hear that my plugin is useful to you! And thanks for your suggestion.

I'm indeed thinking of adding some plugin settings that allow users to customise the tags that are included in each of the lists. I notice in my own usage that having to type the right date every time when you just want to schedule something for today is quite cumbersome.

Until then, a text expansion tool like Espanso might be of use to you. It would allow you to type, for example, :today and then replaces that with the current date automatically. See this topic on the Obsidian forum for examples.

One option to solve the date is to allow [[2021-02-19]] instead of the tag, then you can use the Natural Language Dates plugin to generate the date link. I hotkeyed NLD to Ctrl-Y so I just have to type today then Ctrl-Y and it generates the date. This lets you generate many different date links (tomorrow, next thursday, etc) as well without needing an expansion for every one.

Another benefit is that the task will show up in the backlinks view as well.

Hey @darthmachina, agree! I'm working on this, it's on the list for a next release.

I do think your todo - [ ] Integrate with daily notes plugin to ensure unscheduled TODOs in a daily note are listed in "Today" really is the most straight forward solution to this. So if you use the Calendar, you don't have to tag a todo anything for it to show up in Today. If the Todo is in the same note as the note with the same date, then it should automatically be shown there.

Awesome plug!
