Configure VIM for Syntax Highlighting of Task Data
|
|
|
|
|
|
The task data files (pending.data, completed.data and undo.data),
|
|
configuration file (.taskrc) as well as edits made via commands like "task 1
|
|
edit" can be color-highlighted if you happen to use VIM as your preferred text
|
|
editor. Eventually this will happen automatically in newer versions of VIM,
|
|
but for now you have to do a little bit of file shuffling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
For this to work, you need to first have syntax highlighting enabled when you
|
|
use VIM. This happens to be the default for most VIM installations, but it is
|
|
usually quite simple if that doesn't happen to be so in your case. Rather
|
|
than repeat the excellent VIM documentation here, please see the appropriate
|
|
VIM documentation itself. Generally this can be made seen by starting
|
|
vim/gvim and issuing the following command:
|
|
|
|
:help syntax
|
|
|
|
You may prefer instead to read the help online at:
|
|
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html#syntax
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuring VIM to Understand Task Data
|
|
|
|
Once you have VIM's syntax highlighting enabled and working with other file
|
|
types properly, configuring it for use with task is simple. You simply need
|
|
to copy some files that came with task into your home directory so that you
|
|
have:
|
|
|
|
~/.vim/ftdetect/task.vim
|
|
~/.vim/syntax/taskdata.vim
|
|
~/.vim/syntax/taskedit.vim
|
|
~/.vim/syntax/taskrc.vim
|
|
|
|
The source of these files varies depending on how you installed task. If you
|
|
installed task via a regular package (rpm or deb) you can find these files in
|
|
/usr/share/doc/task-VERSION/scripts/vim/. If you built task yourself from the
|
|
tarball (using the default configure options), these will be in
|
|
/usr/local/share/doc/task-VERSION/scripts/vim/ instead. So you should be able
|
|
to do one of the following:
|
|
|
|
cp -av /usr/share/doc/task-VERSION/scripts/vim/* ~/.vim/
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
cp -av /usr/local/share/doc/task-VERSION/scripts/vim/* ~/.vim/
|
|
|
|
You should then be ready to go.
