task

Attaches a taskwarrior notifications to a widget, and lets you execute task commands from the promptbox.

lain.widgets.contrib.task.attach(widget, args)

args is an optional table which can contain:

Variable	Meaning	Type	Default
show_cmd	Taskwarrior command to show in the popup	string	"task"
prompt_text	Prompt text	string	"Enter task command: "
followtag	Display the notification on currently focused screen	boolean	false
notification_preset	Notification preset	table	naughty.config.defaults

The tasks are shown in a notification popup when the mouse is moved over the attached widget, and the popup is hidden when the mouse is moved away. By default, the notification will show the output of task (same as task next). With show_cmd, the task popup command can be customized, for example if you want to filter the tasks or show a custom report.

In multiple screen setups, the default behaviour is to show a visual notification pop-up window on the first screen. By setting followtag to true it will be shown on the currently focused tag screen.

You can call the notification with a keybinding like this:

awful.key({ modkey, altkey }, "t", function () lain.widgets.contrib.task.show(scr) end),

where altkey = "Mod1" and scr (optional) indicates the screen which you want the notification in.

And you can prompt to input a task command with a keybinding like this:

awful.key({ altkey }, "t", lain.widgets.contrib.task.prompt),
