Description

its difficult to always type out category names, and other stuff in general over and over.
For those who have only a couple categories, its not hard to memorize their order.

if the first category was home, id love to do :
girok addtask --tdy 'do laundry' -c 1
or
girok addtask --tdy 'do laundry' -c h

another thing that might also help making adding tasks easier for super users is if you let us do at for addtask:
girok at --tdy 'do laundry' 1
or
girok at --tdy 'something' h

since in bash rc i set g to girok, all id have to do is:
g at --tdy 'something' 1

that would be epic.

To make it more intuitive add in the help an option for superuser command to the list, which would list out alternative shortcuts, and other super user settings:
girok superuser >>

list of super user commands:
at = addtask
ac = addcat
sc = showcat
dn = done
tg = showtag
st = showtask

in cal mode, c pops up categories, t pops up tags. 

Purpose

to make it easier to add categories to tasks

Comments

but for newcomers, I do like the explicitly typed out commands like showtag and add task, so i wouldn't make the commands shorter for default or add them to the task commands list in help, because being presented with too many ways of doing something in help could be overwhelming for newbies. I currently like the simple and explicit help.

for nested categories, you could do a -1.2

Hey @DonjiKong ,

Thanks for your detailed suggestion.

I agree that some people looking for better productivity will find the aliases great.

Key binding customization for the calendar will be released in the upcoming release. What do you think of also providing shortcut aliases customization rather than making a predefined set?

Btw, I like your g alias :)
