annotation indentation under desription #19

Closed linuxcaffe closed 9 years ago

linuxcaffe commented 9 years ago

(also applies to g:unite_taskwarrior_projects_padding=#_of_spaces etc.)

I really like the vertical lists for tags and projects, but I think they are using more screen real-estate than necessary. This issue is about tighter vertical project and tag lists. Currently, at a width of 40, it looks like 20 leading spaces, maybe 20 between tag and #, and then another 8(?) trailing.

g:unite_taskwarrior_tag_padding=1

would be my preferred default.

A related factor is how the tags display collapses to " .. " if there isn't enough width for the widest tag-row, It would be much better if only the tag-rows that exceed the available width, were truncated.

this also applies to projects etc.

Yeah the formatting is not great right now. I'd like to make it smart enough so that it will only take as much room as needed for each project/tag name. This should help with this display issue.

this specific formatting issue has gone away

linuxcaffe commented 9 years ago

this issue is back! :)

I think it's obvious that annotations will really only be helpful when they are indented under description, so I'm re-opening. This doesn't have to have anything to do with taskwarrior indent settings, but it could. Those are obtainable with 'task _get rc.indent.annotation' (defaults to 2)

blakesweeney commented 9 years ago

So they are indented now, but the are indented under the start of the line so:

- [ ] Some task
  An annotation

Do you think it should be:

- [ ] Some task
       An annotation

instead? In the second example we add a leading 4 or so spaces for the leading - [ ] that is part of every task?

For the moment I will just use 2 for the indenting, but once I write the code for the settings source I will make it use the configuration for taskwarrior.

linuxcaffe commented 9 years ago

yes, yes, just like example 2 will greatly reduce the "visual noise" of annotations, and if that can (eventually) be driven by taswarrior config, all the better!

blakesweeney commented 9 years ago

Ok this should be fixed now. It should be 2 under the description. After adding the settings source I'll have this be configured to make taskwarrior.
