Commands

When you are in todo.txt mode, you have access to the following commands:

  • todotxt:add: add a new task on the line below the current line
  • todotxt:done: mark the task on the current line done
  • todotxt:priority-a set the priority of the current task to A
  • todotxt:priority-b set the priority of the current task to B
  • todotxt:priority-c set the priority of the current task to C
  • ... (same thing for D-Y)
  • todotxt:priority-z set the priority of the current task to Z

There is also an autocompletion function when you are typing out a context or a priority.

Useful packages for todo.txt files

  • sort-lines. It sorts lines. Very useful for todo.txt.
