 Alright, what's up everyone? This video is going to be on CalCurse. CalCurse is a Terminal calendar client, and this is it here. The name of course comes from the fact that it is an in-curses based thing So I mean it looks like an in-curses program, but the thing is really great, really customizable I've had this on my computer forever, but I've only recently started really getting into it And it has a lot of bells and whistles, and it's very compatible with if you use some other kind of calendar software So if you open it up, it's going to look something like this. I've changed mine a little bit So you have a calendar you if you have it selected you can you know move with Vim keys or arrow keys around To different days if you have a day highlighted it'll show whatever appointments you have on that day if you want to add one you can just Press a and then it asks for like you know a time. So let's say 1,400 hours And it's gonna last for two hours And we're gonna call this event. So you can easily add in events here You don't have to add a time it could be all-day things or whatever, but that's a pretty nice thing So one of the nice things about this program is that let's say you're using You know Google Calendar or something like that or like some kind of Apple software Well, what you can do is When when you're using your web client or whatever you can actually export Your calendar file and you can read it into CalCurse. It's actually pretty easy You just do like I think it's CalCurse I And that actually look maybe there's a double double check Doing real-time. Yeah, so just CalCurse I and you can in for import a file And that will basically load all of your gmail or you know g calendar things right into CalCurse or whatever else you use So if you want to move to this, it's actually pretty easy and of course you can export it as well so you can Let's say CalCurse X and then it'll show you all the different stuff you have and you can of course write that to a file So, you know, we'll run it to you know this or something like that So that's a that's a pretty nice thing to have Anyways over here. The big thing is the to-do list I think I mentioned you can change these things are like the order of these tabs around I think to-do list actually starts down here in appointment Appointments start up here, but I prefer prefer them like this So the to-do list basically has a big list of all the things that you want to do you can add them with a you know Let's say new item And they all come with priority numbers one being most important and nine being the lowest I'm gonna give this hypothetical entry nine and it's pretty nice if you you know have to reprioritize stuff You can easily change it with Minus or plus so you can put this up or up or down or whatever Delete them with D stuff like that The other nice thing about these oops the other nice things about these is that you can actually edit Each of you can well you can have notes to each of them So if you have one selected and you press in it's gonna give you a Vim buffer or a nano buffer or whatever your text editor is Where you can type stuff about it. So Actually, what was this internet? So, you know, you can let's say write whatever you want. Why no internet Stuff like that Never mind just a telemarketer So yeah, you can add notes to any entry here now. I have mine set up So it automatically uses markdown syntax or like all of my Vim shortcuts that I have for markdown You have to do a little configuring. Actually, it's not difficult at all But I'll just show you what you have to do You really just open up your VM RC and put in these two lines and they say whenever you open a file Which is one of these, you know slash temp slash calcurse files or you know in the actual notes If you open a manually it just reads them as markdown. So that way I got marked down Syntax highlighting and all the other markdown shortcuts. I do have So, you know, I like quick links and stuff like that. So I don't have to type stuff out But that's a really nice thing to have. So really I use this now You know, if I have an idea for a video or something else I'll just throw an entry here and I'll just go in, you know, if I have an idea for it I can just open this up, you know, throw the idea in the notes and that's that so it's pretty it's pretty convenient So I mentioned you can import calendar files. You can export them as well So let's say, you know, you have for whatever reason you have to, you know Use your calendar somewhere else. You just do calcurse Z or x whatever. I always get those letters confused. I don't know They just end of the alphabet letters that are relatively rare But yeah, calcurse x will allow you to export that to some kind of file And you can load that in whatever you want There are also other terminal things that are sort of useful. So like I Think the switch capital Q Lists out your to-do list and lists out the things you have to do today or calcurse R is like just the things you have to do today I think if you do like R3 that's like within three days or something like that you can double check in the manual I don't use those as much but these these are useful things like if you want to have some kind of bash script that Reads from your calendar and gives you other kind of notifications or stuff like that Now the other thing about calcurse Which is sort of nice compared to other terminal programs is that you can actually do well I mean this for you autists it might be a little annoying, but you don't have to use it, but you can it does have configuration files in dot calcurse so you can You know you have a comp file where you can set settings, but you don't actually have to do that You can just do capital C and it will give you this little menu down here where you can adjust the color You can adjust the notifications The layout so I have this layout. I think this one's the fault You know different stuff like that even keys So this is a pretty nice thing You know it's pretty convenient if you don't want to have to dig into your RC files to make changes You can just do it in calcurse The one downside that you know, I'm a little unhappy about but you know It's still a great program is the color customization like you can change the background color in the foreground color But aside from that nothing really else So this is about as colorful as it gets but you know, I'm not I'm not really complaining because I really like I mean This is just a great program So let's see what else I do have other settings like for example if I quit I just press Q and it closes by default I think you have to You know that's a change I made in it like by default it asks you if you want to quit and ask you if You want to save but you can change that I think if you do capital C then G You can have general changes. So confirm delete confirm quit stuff like that There's like autosave and other stuff and you can also also change like the date format and stuff like that So all things considered calcurse is a pretty useful program I'm definitely using a lot more and I'm gonna be I don't know I'm gonna be digging into it even more and there's probably a whole lot more that I don't know I can learn about this thing, but I definitely recommend it to any oh, yeah use an arch now That's a long story, but we'll be on parabola soon Anyway, so that that's about it If you have any other questions about it, just check the man page or you know, you know Ask me or whatever, but yeah, I highly recommend it pretty lightweight pretty useful So thanks for watching. See you guys
