vim-todo-lists is a Vim plugin for TODO lists management.
$ cd ~/.vim/bundle $ git clone https://github.com/aserebryakov/vim-todo-lists.git
NeoBundle 'aserebryakov/vim-todo-lists'
Clone or download this repository and copy its contents to your ~/.vim/
directory.
Plugin is automatically applied for files with .todo
extension.
The sequence matching the expression '^\s*[ ].*' marks a line as a TODO list item.
[ ] Not done
[X] Done
If one item has lesser indentation than the next one then the first one is meant to be parent and the second to be child.
[ ] Parent
[ ] Child1
[ ] Child2
- Changing state of the parent item changes the state of all children items accordantly
- If all children items are marked done, parent will also be marked as done
- If parent is marked as done and one of the children changes state to not done parent will also be marked as not done
Items are highlighted in accordance to the following scheme:
[ ] ! Important item (Underlined)
[ ] Normal item (Normal)
[X] Done item (Comment)
By default item when its status is changed is moved in the list in accordance to the following rules
Item marked as done is moved to the end of all done items list. If done list doesn't exist, item is placed just after the last not done item.
Before
[ ] Not Done 1
[ ] Will be done now
[ ] Not Done 2
[X] Done
After
[ ] Not Done 1
[ ] Not Done 2
[X] Done
[X] Will be done now
Undone item is moved to the end of all not done items list. If all items are marked done, the items is moved before the first done item.
Before
[ ] Not Done 1
[ ] Not Done 2
[X] Done
[X] Will be undone now
After
[ ] Not Done 1
[ ] Not Done 2
[ ] Will be done now
[X] Done
This feature also affect the items in hierarchy in accordance to the rules above.
If you don't want items to be moved after state change, you may add the following
line into your .vimrc
file:
let g:VimTodoListsMoveItems = 0
:VimTodoListsCreateNewItemAbove
- creates a new item in a line above cursor:VimTodoListsCreateNewItemBelow
- creates a new item in a line below cursor:VimTodoListsCreateNewItem
- creates a new item in current line:VimTodoListsGoToNextItem
- go to the next item:VimTodoListsGoToPreviousItem
- go to the previous item:VimTodoListsToggleItem
- toggles the current item (or selected items in visual mode)
j

<leader>e

j

The g:VimTodoListsCustomKeyMapper
variable should contain a name of the function
implementing custom mappings.
let g:VimTodoListsCustomKeyMapper = 'VimTodoListsCustomMappings'
function! VimTodoListsCustomMappings()
nnoremap <buffer> s :VimTodoListsToggleItem<CR>
