Provide "edit" command about topydo HOT 7 CLOSED

Didn't know that extension by Dave Hein, but I was actually already working on this.
In a local branch that, I didn't push yet, I already have an 'edit' subcommand that implements item 1 in your list.

I had a different implementation of "edit " in mind, being to open a temporary file with that specified todo item. You could be able to specify more numbers, or maybe even a +Project to edit all items in that project. That last item is not implemented yet.

Regarding item 2, I'd say to use a flag (-d) instead a full word. "archive" could also be a regular expression that matches items with the word archive in it.

Great :) I'm waiting then for the update.

That would be very useful. Any ETA on this?

Agreed.

ETA is difficult to tell. I could deliver functionality 1) very soon to master because that's basically ready. I just waited because I assumed to be the only user :)

At the moment I'm a bit busy with other things, but item 3) is something I miss myself in my day-to-day work so probably I'll scratch that itch somewhere this month or next month.

+1 on this!

I really believe that code above is not ready for merge, but hey, it works!

Waiting for insights, comments and patches :)

For that to happen we need to implement it in TodoListBase.todo function. pri, postpone, do, del would also benefit from such extension.

I'll leave this issue open since the archive option is not implemented (use case 2 in your original report). It's up to you what to do: close this issue, now the edit subcommand is merged, or leave it open in case you'd like to implement the archive case.

from topydo.

Closing as it is fully implemented now and merged in master.
