This post is part of a series
In this article, I’ll describe how I integrated my tasks with SwayWM using Wofi.
Introduction
When tasks started pilling up and I constantly found myself in a bad situation because I forgot something had to be done, I went looking for a simple, CLI-based task management system to keep a log of simple items I needed to do.
I found the excellent Taskwarrior. I won’t go into details of how to use it, because it’s website has all this information and honestly it’s pretty simple.
Instead, I’ll focus on describing the custom scripts I developed to quickly interact with my tasks with a few keystrokes.
Check the video below to understand what I’m talking about.

Keybindings
| Keybinding | Effect | Mnemonic |
|---|---|---|
| $mod + t | Enter task mode | T is for task |
| $mod + t + n | Create a new task | N is for new |
| $mod + t + v | Create a new task pre-filled with the clipboard contents | V as in Ctrl+V |
| $mod + t + d | Mark a task as Done | D is for done |
| $mod + t + s | Sync tasks with server running task sync
|
S is for sync |
| $mod + t + a | Annotate a task with multi-line text | A is for annotate |
| $mod + t + i | Get full task information by running task info
|
I is for info |
| $mod + t + r | Remove a task | R is for remove |

The Scripts
task_create.py
This script is responsible for opening a Wofi dialog and creating a new task.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import json
import subprocess
paste = False
if len(sys.argv) == 2 and sys.argv[1] == 'clipboard':
paste = True

wofi = subprocess.Popen(['wofi', '-d', '-p', 'Select Project', '-k', '/dev/null'], stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
proj = wofi.communicate('\n'.join(projects).encode())[0].decode()
proj = proj.strip()

content = None

try:
content = subprocess.check_output(['wl-paste', '-n', '-p']).decode()
except:
pass

if len(desc) > 0:
print(subprocess.check_output(['task', 'add', 'project:{}'.format(proj), desc]))
task_info.py
Displays full information about the select task.
#!/usr/bin/env python

task_annotate.py
This script annotates a task with multi-line text using vim.
