Merlin's TaskPaper Configuration Files plus a Sample Document

What This Is

These are some of my significant TaskPaper files. They might be useful in helping you get started with being a TaskPaper power user with a minimum of fussing and fiddling.

📔 Sample Document

sample.taskpaper is a makebelieve, redacted version of a typical TaskPaper document as I would use it.

📂 Config Files

One is a Style Sheet (style.less), while the others provide "Set It and Forget It" defaults that I like to have available in every TaskPaper document. Any and all can be edited to suit your needs.

• searches.taskpaper is the equivalent of "Saved Searches" or, if you like "Smart Tasklists." Not dissimilar to a very simple version of what OmniFocus calls a perspective.
• tags.taskpaper ensures that all my favorite "tags" (think: GTD contexts) should be available and autofillable in all my TaskPaper documents.

To Install Config Files

1. PLEASE proceed carefully, know what you're doing, and please make backups before you do or change anything
2. The files in this TaskPaper folder go hierarchically in:
   /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/TaskPaper/
3. Thusly:
   • /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/TaskPaper/Configurations/searches.taskpaper
   • /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/TaskPaper/Configurations/tags.taskpaper
