Python reporting and front-end for Taskwarrior.

Tchart provides a GANTT type report and rapid-use listbox task selection and modification tool for Taskwarrior.

If tchart is invoked without any switches it displays the GANTT-type report and exits.

Using the -f (or --filter=FILTER) switch allows specific task filters to be specified.

Using the -s (or --selector) switch invokes the listbox task selection and modification screens.

The GANTT report looks like this:

task -temp due.before:2wks -erma status:pending export

Overdue tasks are indicated in red, the current day's tasks in yellow and the rest in the normal font. Tasks are indented in accordance with their due dates. Tasks with priority set to "high" are shown in capital letters. Tasks that have annotations attached have a '*' in front of their name. Tasks from the same project are grouped together for each date. The number of tasks shown is selected to fill the available screen space.

Overall the intention is to provide a visual overview of my TODO list that is an improvement on what is available from Taskwarrior.

The listbox selection tool allows rapid updates of the task list (by using the -s switch). Onscreen buttons, or hotkeys allow rapid changes to selected tasks' due dates; marking tasks as complete; or an easy way to completing the Taskwarrior commandline for the selected tasks.

• Tasks are selected with the spacebar. If no selection is made the task under the cursor is used.
• Keys 1 - 7 sets the due date 1 - 7 days into the future (e.g. key '2' executes 'task 22 mod due:2')
• 0 sets the due date to today
• d marks tasks as 'done'

Pressing any hotkey or hitting Enter after selecting (a) task/s moves to the next screen. Tchart compiles the appropriate TW commandline and displays it for approval or modification (press Enter twice to execute the line).

I generally find that I use tchart in combination with the normal Taskwarrior commands. I have also setup autocompletion to work with task, and with tchart, which futher increases its power.

Being an amateur programmer I would welcome contributions and improvements, and especially pull requests :-)) .
