Allow lowercase todo keywords #771

Open purlupar opened 4 years ago

purlupar commented 4 years ago

I use the lowercase letters o and ø for TODO and DONE. Orgzly does not (always) detect these if I sync such notes and then set O and Ø as todo keywords within orgzly.

If allowing lowercase input in the todo keywords setting would resolve this and not break stuff, I'd like to request this feature.

Have you tried defining lowercase states in the settings?

Making this possible is the feature being requested here. The text field shows "O" if you type "o", for example.

Just adding a +1 to this feature request.

All my other tools use a VimOutliner format, so the task states consist of two brackets with a letter or symbol between. For example...

[_] incomplete task [X] completed task [+] partially complete [+] 57% partially complete, with percent computed automatically based on child nodes [F] failed [S] skipped [?] unsure [x] completed but doesn't "count" for metrics purposes [f] failed but doesn't "count" [s] skipped but doesn't "count" [Z] snoozed (incomplete but deferred until later)

... and so on. There are also versions of each without the brackets, which are counted in a different way.

I can use the upper-case variants in Orgzly, but it doesn't allow me to define states for the lower-case variants.

The other big difference between the formats is that VO uses tab indentation to define levels of the outline, so the structure is immediately visible and it can easily be folded based on indentation. Would be cool if VO format was supported directly. But that's a separate matter. The request here is to allow lowercase task states, so I can use exactly the same set of states in both tools.
