Description:

pter 3.17.1

pter
Your console and graphical UI to manage your todo.txt file(s).

There’s a presentation of pter in motion on asciinema.
Also in this package, the QT5 based graphical user interface, qpter.

pter has a bunch of features that help you managing your todo.txt file:

Fully compatible to the todo.txt standard
Support for due:, h:, t:, rec:, id:
Save search queries and sorting for quick access
Convenient entering of dates
Time tracking, notes, task delegation
Connect tasks in sequences
Template system and auto-completion for ease of creating tasks
Support for archive and trash
Can work with multiple todo.txt files at the same time
Configurable behaviour, shortcuts, and colors

There is also a graphical user interface called qpter, but some features
are missing.
Installation
Install using pipx
To install pter using pipx, run this:
pipx install pter

If you wish to use qpter, the graphical version of pter, make sure you
pass this option to pipx:
pipx install pter[qt]

Install from PIP
This is the deprecated way to install pter; instead rather use pipx; see
above.
To install pter you can either clone the repository (see at the end) or, much
simpler, use pip to install it:
pip install pter

If you want to use the Qt GUI qpter, you have to install PyQt5::
pip install PyQt5

Using pter
To launch pter you have to tell it where your todo.txt file is:
pter ~/todo.txt

For the graphical user interface (requires QT), you have to start it like
this:
qpter ~/todo.txt

Both will give you a listing of all your tasks order by how soon they will be
due and what priority you have given them.
You can navigate the tasks with your cursor keys and edit selected tasks by
pressing e.
More default shortcuts are:

e, edit the selected task
n, create a new task
d, mark the selected task as done (or toggle back to not done)
?, show all keyboard shortcuts
q, quit the program

There is a complex search available (have a look at the manual for details), but the short version is:

press / to enter your search terms
search for done:n to only show incomplete tasks
search for a context with @context
search for a project with +project
search for tasks that do not belong to a context with -@context or not:@context
press Return to return the focus to the task list

Using qpter
To launch the Qt GUI, you may (but don’t have to) provide the location of your
todo.txt file::
qpter ~/todo.txt

Contributing
Just like any other open source project, you’re invited to participate in
pter’s development. Any contribution is welcome, from bug reports to pull
requests/sending of patches!
You can find the project at codeberg
or just email any of the authors with your input.
There is also a general XMPP discussion channel pter
over at spacepanda.se.
