rofi-todo

a rofi script to do the dirty job

If you're unfamiliar with rofi:

It's a popup window switcher roughly based on superswitcher, requiring only xlib and pango

Rofi has multiple modes.

  1. RUN: Shows a list of executables in $PATH and can launch them (optional in a terminal).
  2. DRUN: Same as the run launches, but the list is created from the installed desktop files.
  3. Window: Show a list of all the windows and allow switching between them.
  4. WindowCD: Shows a list of the windows on the current desktop and allows switching between them.
  5. SSH: Shows a list of SSH targets based on your ssh config file, and allows to quickly ssh into them.
  6. Script: Allows custom scripted Modi to be added.

Using script mode, one can extend the rofi. There are plenty scripts other there. you should definitely check them out.

TODO List Script

Script modi can be enabled using name:script syntax. Just save the following script somewhere in your PATH directory like /usr/local/bin, make sure it's executable and run the following:

rofi -modi TODO:/usr/local/bin/rofi_todo.sh -key-todo SuperL+t

rofi-todo

#!/bin/bash

TODO_FILE=~/.rofi_todos

if [[ ! -a "${TODO_FILE}" ]]; then
    touch "${TODO_FILE}"
fi

function list_todos()
{
    TODO=$(cat "${TODO_FILE}")
    if [[ -z "${TODO}" ]]; then
        TODDO="\n"
    fi
    echo "${TODO}"
}

if [ -z "$@" ]
then
    list_todos
else
    TODO=$(echo "${@}" | sed "s/\([^a-zA-Z0-9]\)/\\\\\\1/g")
    TODO_UNSCAPED=${@}

    MATCHING=$(grep "^${TODO}$" "${TODO_FILE}")
    if [[ -n "${MATCHING}" ]]; then
        sed -i "/^${TODO}$/d" "${TODO_FILE}"
    else
        echo -e "`date +"%B %d %H:%M"` ${TODO_UNSCAPED}" >> "${TODO_FILE}"
    fi
    list_todos
fi

Instructions: - To Add new TODO, just type it (It should be Unique, BTW) at TODO prompt - To Delete one, Just Select the one and hit Enter

If you're already using rofi, just add TODO modi to your existing command-line:

rofi -modi DRun,Run,Window,TODO:/usr/local/bin/rofi_todo.sh -key-todo SuperL+t -show TODO
