For bash users, try 'alias t=task' to save some keystrokes.
%
Have you tried 'task edit 1' to use your text editor to modify all aspects of
task 1?
%
Did you know that 'task 1 wait:eom' will hide task 1 until the end of the
month? You can then see all waiting tasks with 'task waiting'.
%
Did you know that 'task 1 wait:' will restore a waiting task to pending status?
%
If you put 'default.command=list project:home' in your .taskrc file, then just
running 'task' will automatically run 'task list project:home' for you. Save
some keystrokes!
%
If you edit your pending.data file, make sure that your text editor doesn't
strip the trailing \n characters from the end of the file.
%
If you must edit your pending.data file, make sure that your text editor doesn't
convert from a Unix to a DOS file encoding.
%
Did you build task from source? If you didn't have ncurses installed at the
time, then you're missing out on text wrapping and task cannot take advantage of
the full terminal width. Consider rebuilding with ncurses installed, or install
from a pre-built package for your OS.
%
Do you have the latest version of task installed? Check http://taskwarrior.org
periodically for news of updates. That feature you wanted might be ready...
%
Don't forget the online docs at http://taskwarrior.org/wiki/taskwarrior, and if
you find errors, please let us know. Then again, it is a wiki, so feel free to
correct them yourself.
%
Don't forget the online docs at http://taskwarrior.org/wiki/taskwarrior, but if
you cannot find documentation on a particular topic, either create a ticket
requesting it, email support@taskwarrior.org asking for it, or start it
yourself.
%
Did you know there are man pages for task? Try 'man task', 'man taskrc',
'man task-tutorial', 'man task-color' and 'man task-faq'.
%
Did you know there are several 256-color themes available for task?
%
Did you know that running 'task show' will perform various checks on your
.taskrc file, looking for errors?
%
Are you making the most of color? Try 'task color' to see what colors your
system supports.
%
Are you using projects? If you do, taskwarrior will keep track of the project
completion percentage and report it to you whenever it changes.
%
Did you know you can list tasks that have priorities like 'task list
priority.above:L'?
%
The http://tasktools.org/latest URL can tell you which is the latest version.
%
To make your task list clear and actionable, always describe it starting with a
verb, like "call" or "clean" or "get".
%
Don't like the name of a command? Create an alias.
%
You can choose whether your searches are case sensitive or not, by setting
'task config search.case.sensitive yes'
%
Back up your data files by making copies of the ~/.taskrc file and ~/.task
directory.
%
Accidentally changed a task? The undo command makes it a breeze to recover from
any inadvertent change -- even a deletion!
