Thanks to tUrG0n, vim-task won’t suffer from the pathogen issue anymore from now on, and we also have a new feature which will prepend a “-“ for a non-task line when toggling the task status. So by toggling the task status, we’re now actually toggling between 3 statuses of the task:
- blank: normal text
- pending: -
- completed: ✓
all with the same 1 keyboard shortcut as before, as always. So neat! PS: Vim native regex ((to make the script portable, substitute() method will always use the ‘magic’ option in the regex match)) is pretty awkward to work with, unless you use some additional features ((but we don’t want more dependencies though…)), the regex will quickly become a mess, which maybe makes the person who reads your code thinks “wow, how complicated the regex is!”, but actually the truth is always: “well, it’s not, it’s just that ugly, man…”
