### Calendar view

<details>

<summary> Click to expand! </summary>

`taskwarrior-tui` supports a Calendar view, which you can get to by hitting the `]` key:

This highlights the days for your due tasks in a calendar view.
You can configure the number of months in a row by changing the `uda.taskwarrior-tui.calendar.months-per-row` attribute in your `taskrc` file.
See the next section for more information.

You can switch back to the task view by hitting the `[` key.

### Configure `taskwarrior-tui` using `~/.taskrc`:

<details>

<summary> Click to expand! </summary>

`taskwarrior-tui` reads values from your `taskwarrior`'s `taskrc` file (default: `~/.taskrc`).

![](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1813121/96684390-bf173e80-1338-11eb-971c-ae64233d142e.png)

For example, `color.active` is used to style the active task.
If you would like to try it, open your `taskrc` file and change `color.active=white on blue`.

So `color.active` will take precedence over `color.overdue`. You can see what `color.active` is by running `task show color.active` in your favorite shell prompt.

The following color attributes are supported:

```plaintext
color.deleted
color.completed
color.active
color.overdue
color.scheduled
color.due.today
color.due
color.blocked
color.blocking
color.recurring
color.tagged
```

Other `taskwarrior-tui` configuration options are possible using the user defined attribute feature of `taskwarrior`.
All `taskwarrior-tui` specific configuration options will begin with `uda.taskwarrior-tui.`.
The following is a full list of all the options available and their default values implemented by `taskwarrior-tui` if not defined in your `taskrc` file.

```plaintext
uda.taskwarrior-tui.selection.indicator=•
uda.taskwarrior-tui.selection.bold=yes
uda.taskwarrior-tui.selection.italic=no
uda.taskwarrior-tui.selection.dim=no
uda.taskwarrior-tui.selection.blink=no
uda.taskwarrior-tui.calendar.months-per-row=4
uda.taskwarrior-tui.task-report.show-detail=true
```
