TODO Items

The following example represents TODO items definition by default.

Example

- [X] Done
Custom Configuration

You can customize the representation of the item by defining the following variables to your .vimrc

let g:VimTodoListsUndoneItem = '- [X]'
let g:VimTodoListsDoneItem = '- [V]'
Important Item

Important item is defined as undone item string !.

- [ ] ! Important item
Items Hierarchy

If one item has lesser indentation than the next one then the first one is meant to be parent and the second to be child.

Example
- [ ] Parent
  - [ ] Child1
  - [ ] Child2
Rules:
  • Changing state of the parent item changes the state of all children items accordantly
  • If all children items are marked done, parent will also be marked as done
  • If parent is marked as done and one of the children changes state to not done parent will also be marked as not done
Items Highlighting

Items are highlighted in accordance to the following scheme:

- [ ] ! Important item (Underlined)
- [ ] Normal item (Normal)
- [X] Done item (Comment)
Items moving on state change

By default item when its status is changed is moved in the list in accordance to the following rules

Mark item done

Item marked as done is moved to the end of all done items list. If done list doesn't exist, item is placed just after the last not done item.

Before

- [ ] Not Done 1
- [ ] Will be done now
- [ ] Not Done 2
- [X] Done

After

- [ ] Not Done 1
- [ ] Not Done 2
- [X] Done
- [X] Will be done now
Mark item undone

Undone item is moved to the end of all not done items list. If all items are marked done, the items is moved before the first done item.

Before

- [ ] Not Done 1
- [ ] Not Done 2
- [X] Done
- [X] Will be undone now

After

- [ ] Not Done 1
- [ ] Not Done 2
- [ ] Will be done now
- [X] Done
