Powerline Taskwarrior

A set of Powerline segments for showing information retrieved from Taskwarrior task manager.

It shows a current context and the most urgent active task.

Requirements

Taskwarrior segments require task v2.4.2 or later.

Installation

With pip:

pip install --user -U powerline-taskwarrior

On Debian (testing or unstable), installation can be performed with apt:

apt install python-powerline-taskwarrior

To activate Taskwarrior segments add them to your segment configuration, for example in ~/.config/powerline/themes/shell/default.json:

display current context name

{
    "function": "powerline_taskwarrior.context",
    "priority": 70
}

display the most urgent active task

{
    "function": "powerline_taskwarrior.active_task",
    "priority": 70
}

display the most urgent next task

{
    "function": "powerline_taskwarrior.next_task",
    "priority": 70
}

obsolete segment displays both of listed above

{
    "function": "powerline_taskwarrior.taskwarrior",
    "priority": 70
}

Configuration

If you have a custom name for task command, it should be specified in the segment configuration. powerline_taskwarrior.active_task and powerline_taskwarrior.next_task segments accept description_length parameter. It's maximum length of description. If the description is longer, it is truncated by words. powerline_taskwarrior.next_task segment accepts ignore_active parameter. If it set to true segment will be shown always, regardless of existence active task.

{
    "function": "powerline_taskwarrior.next_task",
    "priority": 70,
    "args": {
        "task": "taskwarrior",
        "description_length": 40
    }
}

You can add you custom color set by adding:

{
  "taskwarrior:context":       "information:regular",
  "taskwarrior:active_id":     { "bg": "mediumgreen", "fg": "black", "attrs": [] },
  "taskwarrior:active_desc":   { "bg": "green", "fg": "black", "attrs": [] },
  "taskwarrior:next_id":       { "bg": "brightyellow", "fg": "black", "attrs": [] },
  "taskwarrior:next_desc":     { "bg": "yellow", "fg": "black", "attrs": [] }
}
