The vitrc variables %TASKID and (not even sure it exists) %TASKARGS is only mentioned peripherally in the man pages. I've been trying to use %TASKARGS (unsuccessfully) to address one of my long-standing pet-peaves; namely, that task filters (or arguments) are lost when I run a new report. This bugs me because I would like to look at a sub-set of tasks from different angles.

For the longest time, I clamored for more persistent filters, but then I realized that because I tend to start reports with custom key-bindings, I could make it behave as desired with custom-keybindings that include arguments. It might look like this, in my .vitrc;

map =:minimal %TASKARGS map =:ls %TASKARGS

but %TASKARGS isn't recognized.

how does that (could that) work?

Good idea. I will look into documenting %TASKARGS
