Features

Usage

Call lazytask in your terminal inside a tome.

lazytask

Alias

If you want, you can also add an alias for this with

echo "alias lt='lazytask'" >> ~/.zshrc` 

(or whichever rc file you're using).

TODO: test profile.ps1

Keybindings

You can check out the list of keybindings here.

Changing Directory On Exit

If you change tomes in lazytask and want your shell to change directory into that tome on exiting lazytask, add this to your ~/.zshrc (or other rc file):

lt()
{
  export LAZYTASK_NEW_DIR_FILE=~/.lazytask/newdir

  lazytask "$@"

  if [ -f $LAZYTASK_NEW_DIR_FILE ]; then
    cd "$(cat $LAZYTASK_NEW_DIR_FILE)"
    rm -f $LAZYTASK_NEW_DIR_FILE > /dev/null
  fi
}

TODO: test profile.ps1

Then source ~/.zshrc and from now on when you call lt and exit you'll switch directories to whereever you were in inside lazytask. To override this behaviour you can exit using shift+Q rather than just q.

FAQ

What do the task colours represent?

• Green: the task is done
• Yellow: the task is in progress
