#Doneyet

Doneyet is an ncurses based hierarchical todo list manager written in C++. If you give it a whirl let me know! I'd be happy to hear who's using it and any feature requests! Mostly, I use it for:

• Keeping track of things you need to do.
• Tracking start and finish times and dates for tasks.
• Generating lists of work completed in a given time frame.
• Tons of other stuff!

##Information DoneYet? is a filter-based todo list manager. Currently there are only four filters but in future versions there will be more and they will be user editable. Currently the filters consist of:

• Show All Tasks - This shows all tasks in the current project.
• Show Unfinished Tasks - This shows any task with a status of unstarted, in progress, or paused.
• Show Completed Tasks - This shows only tasks that have a completion date within 7 days of now.
• Find - This filter takes a user specified string and shows any that match. This uses case-sensitive search.

#Saving Doneyet will save on quit, or when choosing 'Save' from the 'Project' menu.

#Key Shortcuts Doneyet is used primarily through key commands. There is a menu system in place but not everything can be achieved through it. The key commands are as follows:

• A - Apply the Show All Tasks filter.
• a - Create a new task (or a subtask if pressed while a task is selected).
• M - Show the menu bar.
  • j and k - Change menu item.
  • l and h - Change menu.
  • Return - Select the selected menu item.
  • Escape - Hide the menu bar.
• m - Move the currently selected task. Note this doesn't work for root level tasks yet.
  • k/u/Up Arrow - Move selected task up.
  • j/d/Down Arrow - Move selected task down.
  • Return - Place task at current position.
  • Escape - Place task to where it was originally.
• n - Add a note to the selected task.
• v - View the notes of the selected task.
• j - Selected next task.
• k - Select previous task.
• Escape - Select no task.
• e - Edit selected task.
• d - Delete selected task.
• c - Toggle collapsed state of selected task.
• R - Apply the Show Uncompleted Tasks filter.
• C - Apply the Show Completed Tasks filter.
• f - Apply the Find Tasks filter.
• S - Save the project.
• Space - Toggle the status of the selected item. White is unstarted, green is in progress, blue is completed and red is paused.
• q - Quit.

#Menu System The menu system also contains the 'Plain Text' menu item in the 'Generate' menu. This creates a text file of whatever is currently filtered in /tmp/snippet.txt and then calls less on that file. A potential use of this is reporting weekly progress in email. Copying directly out of the ncurses window is difficult and time consuming. This however generates a plain text version with no borders.
