The script adds a new action to todo.sh, the todo.txt command line client, which allows to open documents referenced in a todo item. If more than one document is available a small menu will be shown. This allows you to easily acces documents that are required to accomplish the task.
Todo.txt uses a simple text file to store your items. Each single line represents a task. To install the script you have to copy it to your TODO_ACTIONS_DIR which defaults to $HOME/.todo/actions.d.
Just type:
todo.sh open ITEM_NUMBERThe following attachement types are supported:
-
mail:* opens the mail in mutt (requires muttjump and a mail indexer e.g. notmuch. To convert mails from mutt into a task see mutt2todotxt
-
