RFE: taskopen -c

-c as in color

ideally drawn from the active theme in ~/.taskrc, but not using taskwarriors color rules. Each field can be mapped to the taskwarrior color.theme, with key=values in .taskopenrc, like

PROMPT=color.header HELP=color.footnote DEBUG=color.debug LIST_BG=color.alternate ANNOT=color.recurring UUID=color.overdue ID=color.due.today FILE=color.due LABEL=color.active DESC=color.pri.none PRI=color.pri.H TAG=color.tagged DATE=color.blocked PROJECT=color.project.none

That way task users will be right at home with the taskopen colors, and changing themes in .taskrc will change the colors for taskopen automatically.

I'm not sure whether it's achievable to get taskwarrior's colour theme but colouring in general is a great idea. Would be great if taskwarrior could provide extension scripts with some colour code and mapping information, e.g. by 'task _colors'.

It can't be a 1:1 mapping with taskwarrior colors, and it shouldn't have any fancy color rules applied, a taskopen color.theme just maps colors to fields. Following the task convention of !including a color.theme from the rc would be smart. so taskwarrior themers could make a matching one for taskopen too.

Coloring can be achieved by

taskopen -p clog

closing this issue. Documentation on using clog needed.
