|
|
|
|
### Sections
|
|
|
|
This is a modular extension consisting of several sections (timer, stopwatch, alarms..)
|
|
|
|
Each section can open as a separate menu when it's icon is clicked, or it
|
|
can appear together with other sections in one menu.
|
|
|
|
Individual sections can be disabled if you don't need them.
|
|
|
|
Right-clicking on the panel icons will open a context section with
|
|
some useful links.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Fullscreen Interface
|
|
|
|
This extension has a fullscreen interface, which can be used to control a
|
|
corresponding section as well as replace regular notifications.
|
|
|
|
The interface has multi-monitor support, and it can be opened _(and brought into
|
|
focus)_ via a keyboard shortcut.

### Todo.txt Syntax
|
|
|
|
* The todo.txt format is specified here: https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt
|
|
|
|
* In various places throughout this extension (todo.txt, alarms, timer) there is
|
|
support for a simple markup language:
|
|
|
|
* Simple text formatting:
|
|
```
|
|
` escape other markdown
|
|
`` monospace and escape other markdown
|
|
|
|
* bold
|
|
** italic
|
|
*** bold with a red bg
|
|
|
|

|
|
~~ strikethrough
|
|
|
|
# xx-large
|
|
## x-large
|
|
### large
|
|
|
|
For example, *bold*, and ##extra large##, and ``monospaced``, and
|
|
***this __one__ is nested***, etc...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* File paths and web links:
|
|
```
|
|
https://www.google.com
|
|
www.google.com
|
|
|
|
/home/user/Documents
|
|
~/Documents
|
|
~/Documents/img.png
|
|
~/Documents/file\ with\ spaces.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Multiple lines can be used by adding `\n` to represent a newline:
|
|
```
|
|
(A) A task with\nmultiline\n@support \n +asdf
|
|
```

### Todo.txt Extensions
|
|
|
|
A todo.txt extension is just a `key:val` string you type into your todo.txt
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
The following extensions are supported:
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td valign="top"><code>kan:kan_string</code></td>
|
|
<td>
|
|
Used to specify kanban boards.<br>
|
|
Multiple kan boards can be specified by writing multiple kan extensions into the todo.txt file<br><br>
|
|
The format of the extension is: <code>kan:[*]name|column1[|column2|...]</code><br><br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The optional * indicates whether the kanban board is active.</li>
|
|
<li>Each column is either:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>a comma separated list of todo.txt priorities, contexts, projects.</li>
|
|
<li>a string indicating a 'kitchen-sink' column.</li>
|
|
<li>the char '$' indicating a 'kitchen-sink' column with no title</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Tasks are split into columns based on whether or not they have one or more properties specified in a column.</li>
|
|
<li>A 'kitchen-sink' column is one into which any task goes.</li>
|
|
<li>The string '(_)' can be used to refer to completed tasks and tasks with no priorities.</li>
|
|
<li>The order of the columns matters.<br>
|
|
If a task can go into multiple columns, it will be added to the leftmost one.<br>
|
|
The position of a 'kitchen-sink' column can affect the sorting a lot.</li>
|
|
<li>Columns that start with '_' (underscore) are collapsed (visually minimized).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Examples:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>kan:*main|(A),(B),(C)|(D),(E),(F)|(G)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>kan:other_project|_(A)|_(B)|(C)|_(D)|(E)|(F)|(G)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>kan:stuff|(D),@stuf,+my_project|everything\ else</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>kan:a_and_no_prios|(A)|(_)</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>kan:kitchen_sink_with_title|some_title_maybe_with\ spaces</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>kan:no_title|$</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>kan:column_order_matters|$|(A)</code></li>
|
|
</ul>

<b>This extension is incompatible with the <code>due</code> and <code>defer</code> extensions.</b><br><br>
|
|
Used to automatically reopen a task after a given amount of
|
|
time.<br><br>
|
|
<i>Each time a task recurs, it's creation date is updated.<br>
|
|
If a task is already open on the date of the recursion, it's
|
|
creation date will be updated anyway.</i><br><br>
|
|
The <i>recurrence_string</i> can be in one of 3 diff forms:<br>
|
|
<i>   (n=natural number, d=days, w=weeks,
|
|
m=months)</i><br><br>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>rec:n(d|w)</code><br>
|
|
This means that the task will recur n days/weeks after the

|
|
<i>- This rec type requires a creation date.</i><br>
|
|
Examples:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>x 2000-01-01 2000-01-01 rec:12d</code> means that the task
|
|
will reopen<br>
|
|
every 12 days starting from <code>2000-01-01</code>. After 12 days it will
|
|
look like<br>
|
|
<code>2000-01-13 rec:12d</code>, and 12 days after that it will
|
|
look like<br>
|
|
<code>2000-01-25 rec:12d</code>, and so on...
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li><br>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>rec:x-n(d|w)</code><br>
|
|
This means that the task will recur n days/weeks after the
|
|
completion date.<br>
|
|
<i>- This rec type requires a completion date if the task is
|
|
complete.</i><br>
|
|
Examples:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>x 2000-01-01 rec:x-12d</code> recurs 12 days after
|
|
<code>2000-01-01</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>(A) rec:x-3w</code> recurs 3 weeks after completion

date.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li><br>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>rec:nd-nm</code><br>
|
|
This means that the task will recur on the n-th day of every
|
|
n-th month starting<br>
|
|
from the month of creation.<br>
|
|
<i>- This rec type requires a creation date.</i><br>
|
|
<i>- 'Month of creation' here refers to the month written into
|
|
the todo.txt file.<br>
|
|
- If a month doesn't have the particular n-th day, the last day
|
|

|
that month will be used instead.</i><br>
|
|
Examples:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>(A) 2000-01-01 rec:12d-1m</code> recurs on the 12th

### Time Tracker
|
|
|
|
You can start time tracking by pressing the play button on a todo card. When you do that,
|
|
the task as well as all projects in that task will be tracked.
|
|
|
|
Time tracking data is stored in csv files. The directory structure of the tracker and the
|
|
csv specification can be found [here](data/tracker_spec.md).
|
|
|
|
When a task that has been tracked is edited, only the corresponding entry
|
|
in the daily csv file will be updated; the yearly csv file will not be changed.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### DBus API
|
|
|
|
There is a pretty comprehensive dbus api. Check out the [dbus dir](dbus) for info on
|
|
what you can do.
|
|
|
|
There are also some example scripts that might come in handy. :smile:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Custom Theme Support
|
|
|
|
This extension supports custom themes. In order to style it, place a
|
|
`timepp.css` file into your theme's root directory _(the dir where the
|
|
`gnome-shell.css` file is)_.
|
|
|
|
You must use the `!important` directive in order to override a property from the
|
|
extensions' stylesheet.
