Huh, I'm not getting the "- CONTEXT text" when I hit enter -- just "CONTEXT text. I'm not sure which contexts.gtd I'm supposed to be working from. Currently I'm using the one from here: http:// panalaska.org/GTD_Stuff/contexts.gtd
with my additions it looks like this:
PROJECT|p|PROJECT ${1:new project}|^PROJECT[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|990099 TASK|t|TASK ${1:new task}|^TASK[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|006600 COMPUTER|m|COMPUTER ${1:computer task}|^COMPUTER[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|660000 EMAIL|e|EMAIL ${1:person} re: ${0:subject}|^EMAIL[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|996600 CALL|c|CALL ${1:person} re: ${2:subject} ${0:#}|^CALL[\s,:]+(\w.*)$| FF6600 BUY|b|BUY ${1:new purchase}|^BUY[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|6699CC WEB|we|WEB ${1:new webwork}|^WEB[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|00000f READ|r|READ ${1:book or article}|^READ[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|f00000 ERRANDS|er|ERRANDS ${1:new task}|^ERRANDS[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|011fff SOMEDAY|sd|SOMEDAY ${1:new task}|^SOMEDAY[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|02222f SCHOOL|s|SCHOOL ${1:new task}|^SCHOOL[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|0000ff CHORES|ch|CHORES ${1:task}|^CHORES[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|0222ff OTHER|oo|other|^OTHER[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|00ffff WAIT|w|wait|^WAIT[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|336633 DONE|d|done|^DONE[\s,:]+(\w.*)$|666666
But apparently this is causing the list view and the abbreviation expansion to mess up.

Adam -
Good catches. Please see inline comments... and thanks for the feedback.

I'm not having the issue the other Mike was having. The tab commands work well, as does choosing them from the menu.
I'm kind of stumped here, but I'll keep trying to figure it out.
I am unclear on how the new contexts.gtd file works. In my list views, I'm getting truncated context names. "PUTER" for COMPUTER and the like. And none of them have matches. But
The way the list views work in this version is to truncate the first three characters, which may not be the best idea...
Perhaps a request for functionality: it seems that typing the context shortcut plus enter should now insert " - CONTEXT action text" rather than "CONTEXT action text". Otherwise you have to add the state by hand. Or perhaps typing the state, then a space, then the context abbreviation plus enter should insert the state with the desired context. The latter would allow you to choose a state when choosing a context.
It does the "- CONTEXT text" as coded. When you took the "@"s away did you add a space (and leave the dash)?
As far as default state, I think it should always be a dash, a caret (INFO) or a * (PROJECT). I see DELEGATED, WAIT, etc. to be follow-on states.
Either that, or add a keyboard shortcut for the "undone" state that one can tab after establishing the context and action. Come to think of it, that might be more useful in general use as well.
I'll modify UNWAIT to be UNDO STATE CHANGE.
So a couple of bugs, but I'm looking forward to using the new version of states.

You can change the contexts in the contexts.gtd file to whatever you want - I just tried it without the "@"s and it works fine. Just remember to remove both the "@"s in each line. GTD2 is oriented on the characters at the beginning of the lines, rather than the actual words.
Any other issues with the new bundle?

Mike,
Looks interesting. I'll try to try it out before next week. I am fond of the capital letter convention for contexts rather than @, but I should certainly adapt.
I have a little code that could add inbox processing to the bundle, and I'm pretty sure it will work with the new form with one minor adjustment. I'll send it under separate cover.

I have added a new version of the GTD bundle to the repository, called (for now) GTD2. It is based on a syntax described at http://patrickrhone.com/journal/archives/2006/05/175.html. Also, I have done a quick write-up of the new system at <http:// panalaska.org/geek/>. It uses a new contexts.gtd file, which I have added to the Support folder in the bundle. Based on user feedback, I will merge the GTD and GTD2 bundles in a week or so. Please let me know if there is any interest in this bundle. Thanks!
