vimwiki-tasks Vim plugin

A similar (and maintained) plugin can be found here: https://github.com/tbabej/taskwiki

NOTE

This is a very early and very alpha version of the plugin. Use with caution and make a backup of your .task and vimwiki folder. You have been warned!

Features

This plugin adds some additional syntax rules to vimwiki to define a task format with due dates. It also adds highlighting for tags (+tag) and UUID's. The format for a task which has a due date on 2013-11-21:

* [ ] This is a task with a due date (2013-11-21)

It's also possible to specify a time for the due:

* [ ] This is a task due at 10am (2013-11-21 10:00)

Please note that it is officially not possible to set a due-time in taskwarrior, however by specifying the correct dateformat it however is possible since internally dates are stored as unix timestamps. So far I have not really found any side-effects of doing this.

When the vimwiki file is saved all the new tasks with a due date will be added to taskwarrior. To keep the link between the task in taskwarrior and vimwiki the UUID of the task is appended to the task in vimwiki. If you have enabled Vim's conceal feature the UUID's will be hidden.

It is also possible to add tasks without a due date into taskwarrior by ending the task in Vimwiki in #TW. When the vimwiki file is saved any task which ends in #TW will also be added to taskwarrior and the #TW will be replaced by the UUID.

When the file is reopened in Vimwiki all the tasks which have a UUID will be synced and updated from taskwarrior info the vimwiki-file and it will be marked as modified if any updates took place.

Installation

1. Install the vimwiki plugin for Vim
2. Install taskwarrior
3. Install this plugin

Default values

The first 10 lines of a vimwiki file will be checked for some default values which will be used for all the tasks in that vimwiki-file:

• %% Project: <projectname>: set the project for the tasks to ''
• %% Tags: +tag1 +tag2: add these tags to every task.

Config

The following configuration options are currently available

• let g:vimwiki_tasks_annotate_origin = 0: When 1 a reference to the vimwiki-page where the task was found will be added as an annotation
• let g:vimwiki_tasks_tags_nodue = '': These tags, e.g. +vimwiki +nodue, will be added to a task without a due date/time.
• let g:vimwiki_tasks_tags_duetime = '': These tags will be added to a task which has both a due date and time.
• let g:vimwiki_tasks_tags_duedate = '': These tags will be added to a task which has a due date but no due time.
