Want to enter items a little faster?
At the bottom of every action browser is the quick entry
box. Here you can type the name of an action, then hit
return to add it.
But there's more!
This box
lets you specify a number of details about the action. That
is, you can type in an action in the following format
[optional did]
name stuff
and it will get parsed and set appropriately. The complete
list of stuff you can do is as follows:
did
If the action begins with the word did, the action will be
created and marked done. This allows you to use
Frictionless as a journal. i.e.
did uploaded new Frictionless
Would
get added as "upload new Frictionless", only marked done.
@context
or
@ context
If Frictionless sees an @ it will search for a context
beginning with the next phrase. So appending @Work will set
the context to "Work".
>
Project
If Frictionless sees an
>, it
will then search for a project beginning with the next
phrase and set the project for the new action to that.
:due
April 20, 2007
If Frictionless see
:due, it
will then try to interpret the next phrase as a due
date.
:on works
for the Do on date, and :start
works
for the start date.
:u
:i :ui
If Frictionless sees any of the above, it will set the
Urgent/Important flags accordingly.
:area,
:someday,
:template,
:recur,
:reset also
work.
So I just entered a completed action for this posting as:
did
Wrote Q&D Guide > Frictionless @
writing
Which Frictionless interpreted as "Add a
completed action
to the Frictionless
project
called Wrote
Q&D Guide with
Context writing.
