task

Attaches a taskwarrior notification to a widget, and lets to add/search tasks from the promptbox.

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

args is an optional table which can contain:

Variable	Meaning	Type	Default

fg	Notification popup foreground color	string	beautiful.fg_normal
bg	Notification popu background color	string	beautiful.bg_normal

position possible values are defined here.

Notification will show the output of task command.

In multiple screen setups, the default behaviour is to show a visual notification pop-up window on the first screen. By setting followmouse to true it will be shown on the same screen containing the widget.

You can call the notification with a key binding like this:

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

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

And you can prompt to add/search a task with key bindings like these:

awful.key({ modkey,         }, "t", lain.widgets.contrib.task.prompt_add),
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "t", lain.widgets.contrib.task.prompt_search),
