TaskMonad bundles a number of tools that can be used to directly interact with taskwarrior from within xmonad. Furthermore, workflows following the Getting Things Done principles are implemented.

To install TaskMonad from hackage just execute:

cabal update
cabal install TaskMonad

Afterwards import TaskMonad in your `xmonad.hs`

import TaskMonad

To install Taskmonad without using cabal just download and copy the source code into your `~.xmonad-- lib/` folder. The folder structure should afterwards look like this:

.xmonad 
|-- lib
|   |-- Taskmonad.hs
|   |-- Taskmonad
|   |   |-- GridSelect.hs
|   |   |-- Prompt.hs
|   |   |-- ScratchPad.hs
|   |   `-- Utils.hs
|   |-- GridSelect
|   |   `-- Extras.hs
|   `-- ...
|-- xmonad.hs

Afterwards import TaskMonad in your `xmonad.hs`

import TaskMonad

To get started, add a manage hook for the taskwarrior scratchpad:

import TaskMonad

-- ...

... , manageHook = namedScratchpadManageHook taskwarriorScratchpads

After that you can bind the taskwarrior prompt to a key to get started:

... , ("M-p",     taskwarriorPrompt [(\x -> x == "processInbox", processInbox)])

You can also bind any other TaskMonad action to a key. For example:

... , ("M-S-p",   taskwarriorScratchpad)       -- Opens the taskwarrior scratchpad

... , ("M-C-p",   taskSelect "status:pending") -- Displays all pending tasks

... , ("M-C-S-p", tagSelect)                   -- Displays all tags

In general you can customize the tools ad libitum. A good way to get started is to implement custom actions for the taskwarrior prompt. Please refer to taskwarriorPrompt for further information.

You can easily capture tasks, ideas or notes using the taskwarriorPrompt like this:

You can clarify and organize your tasks using processInbox. It implements the typical Getting Things Done workflow using GridSelects:

You can implement your own custom daily- and weeklyreview routines. For example you can use togglePriority to adjust the priority of tasks during the daily- / weeklyreview like this:

To decide which task to do next, you can use a collection of gridselects. You can use tagSelect, projectSelect, dueSelect to display a gridselect to filter the tasks by tag, project or due date. However you can also display all pending tasks using taskSelect like this:

The taskwarrior scratchpad is used to display taskwarrior reports that have been invoked using the taskwarrior prompt. However, you can use the scratchpad at your convenience. Just add a manage hook:

... , manageHook = namedScratchpadManageHook taskwarriorScratchpads

Afterwards you can bind a key to taskwarriorScratchpad. The Scratchpad will look like this

• TaskMonad

  • Prompt
  • Scratchpad
  • GridSelect
  • Utils
• Extras
