ivy-todo

With ivy-todo you can add or modify items in your org-mode TODO lists using ivy. The primary use case is to quickly edit TODO items in the project you’re currently working on, ivy-todo tries to figure out your project’s name using projectile or find-file-in-project or vc.el (requires Emacs 25 or greater).

Setup

You could download ivy-todo from Melpa, or add ivy-todo.el to your load-path and require it in your init file. You might want to change the variable ivy-todo-file (defaults to ivy-todo.org in your org-directory). If you do not want ivy-todo to guess which TODO list to use, put (setq ivy-todo-guess-list nil) in your init file. Example setup using use-package:

(use-package ivy-todo :ensure t
  :bind ("C-c t" . ivy-todo)
  :commands ivy-todo
  :config
  (setq ivy-todo-default-tags '("PROJECT")))

The variable ivy-todo-default-tags can be used to set a list of tags which will be applied to new project lists (it is nil by default).

Usage

Each level 1 headline in your ivy-todo-file is considered a TODO list. Use M-x ivy-todo (or bind it to a key) to manipulate the items. To change TODO list, use the universal argument (C-u M-x ivy-todo). To change ivy-todo-file use double universal argument (C-u C-u M-x ivy-todo).

The default ivy action is to modify the TODO state of the chosen item. You can choose different actions by using M-o (by default) in the ivy buffer.
