# Contexts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set three contexts by their tags:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-02-03 19:10:47 +00:00
|
|
|
> task context define *work +sa or +hr*
|
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2022-02-03 19:10:47 +00:00
|
|
|
> task context define *study +ed or +void or +rat*
|
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2022-02-03 19:10:47 +00:00
|
|
|
> task context define *home -sa -hr -ed -void -rat*
|
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Change to the first context.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-02-03 19:10:47 +00:00
|
|
|
> task context *work*
|
2020-01-02 00:04:35 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then stop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> task context none
|
|

Make a UDA 'size'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> task config uda.size.type string
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> task config uda.size.label Size
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> task config uda.size.values large,medium,small
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> uda.size.default=medium
|
|
|

# Tricks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command shows tasks I'm most interested in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> task next +ACTIVE or +OVERDUE or due:today or scheduled:today or pri:H
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The command is long, so `alias` is your friend.
