stackToDo
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
A simple stack based to do program, for those that are easily side tracked
|
|
(like me). Due to the nature of a stack, it will track how you got side tracked
|
|
by pushing to it each time you move to a new task without completing it
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make install
|
|
#install dmenu script
|
|
make install_dmenu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Usage and specifics
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
A stack operates as a FILO container. When getting side tracked when performing
|
|
research, programming, etc, it can be hard to get back to the previous task.
|
|
Therefore, you can simply `push` a task onto the todo stack. Each task is a
|
|
127 character string of what was just happening. Be creative, it can be line
|
|
numbers of a file where you were working, the topic you were arguing in a
|
|
paper, anything. Once you finish a task, you can `pop` it off the todo stack
|
|
and get back to what you were previously doing. If you ever forget what you
|
|
were doing, simply `peek` at the top of the stack to see what you're doing
|
|
without removing it from the stack. Everything is kept in plaintext, so its
|
|
easy to parse with other programs.
|
|
|
|
Everything is nicely wrapped up into a dmenu script as well, just call `todo`
|
|
and a dmenu prompt will appear providing you with the `push`, `pop`, and `peek`
|
|
options. The script also uses `notify-send` to let you know about updates to
|
|
your todo-stack. To bind `todo` to a key, see the command `xbindkeys` on your
|
|
distribution.
