[TxMt] New Version of the GTD Bundle

Wed Oct 11 06:10:12 UTC 2006

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.
