Add ability to run a command using a key binding

Open mohamed-osama-aboelkheir opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

It would be helpful if we had the ability to run a command using the current task name or description , .. etc with a key binding.

For example, the binding could look like:

z = :! echo {TASK_NAME}

Thanks for suggestion.

Could you give an example of what this might be used for?

The biggest thing I'd use this for is interoperability! The multitude of apps i may need to use to complete any single task can sometimes be the friction that keeps me from doing that task. If i know I need to edit a draft and I have a predefined shortcut to open X file with Y editor it makes me that much more likely to start working on it. Or if i have a URL I need to read more on it's nice to press a key to open that URL in my preferred browser.

Ok, I can see that would be useful. I think probably it should be its own field on an item?
