Want a ncurses interface to operate on tasks interactively( with vim keyboard shortcuts support) instead of memorizing commands.

Vim like interface would be awesome. I have been looking for something like this. I use screen/tmux in terminal to use multiple windows open. I always wanted one window to be reserved for tasks. I would love to to rename that window to taskbook.

I am not experienced with ncurses but would like to contribute if required.

@kalexmills you really think vim ~/.taskbook is close to what I'm asking for?

I am not sure what @kalexmills got when he did vim ~/.taskbook but I have ~/.taskbook as directory and all I get is file browser where I can edit taskbook's json file. @kalexmills If you have tried Mutt, you will understand what I am talking about.

Okay so that was a poor choice of filename on my part. My point was that hooking up vim to a static file where you can keep and edit your own task list would seem to achieve a vim-like interface.

So name the file whatever you want. Keep your tasks there, and voila! :-)

Sure, you don't get any of the taskbook features, but if vim is what you want then maybe use vim?

@kalexmills You might want to check out Lazygit.

@hatelove85911 you meant something like this? btw it doesn't use a proper library like blessed.
