A plugin for you to manage your TODOs, or NOT TODOs.

This project is still at an early development stage, many features are not customizable yet.

Ideas, issues and many other things are appreciated!

Vundle

Plugin 'pi314/todo-or-not-todo.vim'

vim-plug:

Plug 'pi314/todo-or-not-todo.vim'

These mappings should finally be customizable.

Customizable mappings:

• [normal][insert][visual] <C-c>: switch between checkboxes.

  • Customize with g:todo_next_checkbox

• [normal][insert][visual] <Leader>b: set current line a bulleted item, checkbox will be destroyed.

  • Customize with g:todo_set_bullet

• [visual] <Leader>h: colorize selected text with highlighter.

  • Customize with g:todo_highlighter

  • The start marker and end marker of highlighter is also customizable

    let g:todo_highlighter_start = '#['
    let g:todo_highlighter_end = ']]'

• [normal][visual] <Leader>e: erase highlighter of current line.

  • Customize with g:todo_eraser

Default mappings:

• [normal] > <: increase and decrease indent
• [visual] > <: increase and decrease indent of selected lines
• [normal] o: open a new line with bullet
• [insert] <CR>: create a new bulleted item in new line, same indent
• [normal] I: insert text at logical line start
• [normal] ^: move cursor to line start smartly
• [normal] J: join two lines, bullet or checkbox on next line will de destroyed
• [insert] <TAB>, <S-TAB>: if cursor is at line start, increase/decrease indent
• [insert] <C-d>, <C-t>: decrease/increase indent of current line

You can disable default mappings with let g:todo_default_mappings = 0

Checkboxes are separated into two types

[ ][i][v][x]
[!]

These checkboxes are recognized by this plugin, i.e. they are colorized and can be switched with <C-c>.

Depend on their type, <C-c> changes them in different way:

• If your cursor is on a bulleted item, press <C-c> makes that bullet a [ ]
• If your cursor is on the same line with [ ], [i], [v] or [x], <C-c> makes it the next one (round-robin.)
• If your cursor is on the same line with [!], <C-c> makes it a [ ]

To add a checkbox, stick this into your vimrc:

call todo#checkbox#cycle('[ ]', 'white', 'Description')

This checkbox can be cycleed with <C-c>.

To add a checkbox that is not participated in <C-c> cycle, use nocycle:

call todo#checkbox#nocycle('[!]', 'red', 'Important')

Here is the default settings of this plugin:

call todo#checkbox#cycle('[ ]', 'white', 'Todo')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[i]', 'yellow', 'Working')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[v]', 'green', 'Done')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[x]', 'red', 'Not todo')
call todo#checkbox#nocycle('[!]', 'red', 'Important')

The color strings are evaluated into argument ctermfg, if you are new to vim, you can pick colors here:

• Black
• DarkBlue
• DarkGreen
• DarkCyan
• DarkRed
• DarkMagenta
• Brown, DarkYellow
• LightGray, LightGrey, Gray, Grey
• DarkGray, DarkGrey
• Blue, LightBlue
• Green, LightGreen
• Cyan, LightCyan
• Red, LightRed
• Magenta, LightMagenta
• Yellow, LightYellow
• White

Sometimes you need a special todo file for specific kind of todo-items.

This plugin allows you to declare checkboxes by filename:

call todo#checkbox#file('special\.todo')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[Pending]', 'white')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[Working]', 'yellow')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[Done]', 'green')

call todo#checkbox#file('')
call todo#checkbox#cycle('[?]', 'white')

todo#checkbox#file() accepts a vim regex pattern; all todo#checkbox#cycle() and todo#checkbox#nocycle() follows it will be registered under the pattern (until next pattern specified.)

The order is important, only the first pattern that matches the filename will be applied.

When no patterns matches the filename, the default setting will be applied (Listed above.)

For those who loves popup menu, this plugin also provides menu mode:

let g:todo_select_checkbox = '<C-k>'

Under menu mode, all checkboxes can be selected, no matter they are added with no-loop option.

Menu mode and loop mode can be configured with different key mappings.

Currently only one kind of bullets supported:

let g:todo_bullet = '>'

You can assign color of certain patterns:

let g:todo_bullet_color = 'Cyan'
let g:todo_url_color = 'Cyan'
let g:todo_comment_prefix = '//'
let g:todo_comment_color = 'Cyan'
let g:todo_highlighter_color = 'Yellow'

Currently only foreground color setting supported, no underline or background color yet.
