fish-taskwarrior-cn: Natural Language Interaction for Chinese Users (Manage tasks without switching input methods)

[stephen9412]

Hello Taskwarrior community! 👋

I've been a long-time user of Taskwarrior and truly love the GTD philosophy it enables. However, for non-English speakers, there's always been a small friction: Input Method Switching.

Every time I wanted to add a task, I had to switch to English for commands like due:tomorrow or project:Work, and then switch back to Chinese for the task description. It broke my flow.

So, I built fish-taskwarrior-cn. It's a Fish shell plugin that acts as a wrapper for Taskwarrior, allowing native Chinese speakers to manage tasks using natural language constraints and dates.

🚀 See it in action (Adding a task naturally):

Key Features:
Natural Language Dates: Supports phrases like "下週五"(sonw+4d), "後天"(+2d), "月底"(eom), or even "三天後"(+3d) (Wait).

Full Keyword Mapping: Use Chinese characters for project:, priority:, tags:, due:, etc. No need to type English keywords.

Smart Auto-completion: Auto-completes task descriptions when modifying, so you don't have to copy-paste.

Smart Date Correction: Logic that makes sense for humans (e.g., due defaults to the end of the day, not the beginning).

✨ Smart Completion Demo:

If you are a Chinese speaker using Fish shell, give it a try!

中文介绍

大家好！

我是 Taskwarrior 的死忠用户。作为一个母语是中文的人，我一直有个痛点：频繁切换输入法。

每次添加任务，我得切到英文打 due:、project:，然后再切回中文打任务描述。这种割裂感真的很影响心流。所以我写了这个 Fish Shell 插件 —— fish-taskwarrior-cn。

它让你完全使用中文（支持繁体和简体）来管理任务，再也不用为了工具委屈自己的大脑。

核心功能：
全中文指令：支持 项目：、优先级：、截止： 等所有属性，全角冒号自动转换，彻底告别输入法切换。

自然语言日期：支持 下周五、后天下午三点、月底、让子弹飞到：三天后 等自然表达。

智能补全：修改任务时（task mod ID），按空格自动补全原任务描述，方便直接修改（如上图 GIF 2 所示）。

符合直觉：due 和 until 会自动 +1 天，因为当我们说“三天后到期”时，通常指的是那一天结束前，而不是那一天凌晨。
