Open todo.txt adds the ability to open the current project's todo.txt and/or done.txt in Nova, or an external app of your choice.
To access the commands:
- Select the Editor → Open todo.txt menu item; or
- Open the command palette and type
open txtto see all provided commands.
The available workspace commands are:
- Open todo app
- Open todo.txt & done.txt
- Open todo.txt
- Open done.txt
You can select which app to open the todo.txt and/or done.txt files in. The default value is /Applications/Nova.app, so the files will open in new tabs in the current workspace.
Alternatively, you can choose an external app such as TodoTxtMac or SwiftoDo Desktop.
To configure global preferences, open Extensions → Extension Library... then select Todo's Preferences tab.
You can also configure preferences on a per-project basis in Project → Project Settings...
Shortcut/hot keys for any of the provided menu items can be set the normal Nova way using Preferences... → Key Bindings and searching for Open will filter menu items to include those provided by this extension.
If either or both of todo.txt and done.txt do not exist then you'll get an error. You will need to create these two files yourself.
