Simple Interactive Terminal Todo App in Rust

todo-rs

Simple Interactive Terminal Todo App in Rust. This is meant to be an experimental playground for testing ideas on Immediate TUIs.

Quick Start

$ cargo run TODO

Controls

Keys	Description
k, j	Move cursor up and down
Shift+K, Shift+J	Drag the current item up and down
g, G	Jump to the start, end of the current item list
r	Rename the current item
i	Insert a new item
d	Delete the current list item
q	Quit
TAB	Switch between the TODO and DONE panels
Enter	Perform an action on the highlighted UI element

todo-rs's Issues

delete items

Delete the currently selected list item by pressing d

add new items to TODO

Ui::label_fixed_width() does not elide the text when width < text.len()

the item lists don't have a scroll area

introduced in #25

reorder the items

configuration file for setting keybindings

Read keybindings from a .toml file.

Motivation was to just provide vimlike keybinds, but using a configuration file does serve a broader range of users.

Issue currently in progress, so please assign ticket to me if appropriate.

undo system

save only changed, deleted, or added tasks.

Hey, I was also writing a TUI to-do app in Rust (but using tui-rs), but I was considering a more efficient way to save the tasks by saving only the lines that have been changed and not the unchanged ones. I tried making many implementations, like using enums or checking if the file contains that task already. However, I kept getting stuck. Do you have any idea how we could implement this?

Use sigaction(2) instead of signal(2) for better potability

introduced in #22

See signal(2) Portability section. Though for our specific case of flipping some bits on

SIGINT this might not be that important.

persist the state of the application

Two panels instead of Tabs

ctrlc module is not implemented for windows

introduced in #22

It's not that important right now, since ncurses crate already prevents it from working properly

on windows anyway.

Program won't even launch!!!

I can't even launch this program!

Unicode support

Text written with utf8 encoding is garbled in the terminal with no apparent reason, no matter what terminal window is used. At least in konsole and x-terminal-emulator, on UTF8-enabled system.

Result in app:

• x +2x=0
• ~B ~G
• duck: ~_ ~F
• normal text works

Text in TODO:
TODO: x²+2x=0
TODO: żółć
TODO: duck: 🦆
TODO: normal text works

jump to the end and begining of the lists

On G jump to the end of the list. On g jump to the beginning of the list.

save the state on SIGINT

Catch SIGINT somehow and save the state of the app the same way we do it after the event loop:

todo-rs/src/main.rs

Line 370 in 2b71072

save_state(&todos, &dones, &file_path);

Don't overcompilcate.

Ui::edit_field does not scroll according to the cursor

introduced in #25

edit the items

keep track of date when the item was DONE
