Only list todos in certain context/project

[fritzrehde]

I am looking for a way to print only the todos from a certain context/project. As far as I understand it, listcon and listproj only list the name of all contexts/projects but not the todos themselves. Does the feature I am looking for exist?

Yes, listcon and listproj only get you the used contexts / projects. Filtering of items is done via ls / list, by passing the optional TERM argument.

Usually, the project and context names are simple and rather unique alphanumeric words, and you can simple pass them directly, e.g. todo.sh ls +you, but to be totally correct, you'd have to assert the whitespace before the sigil: todo.sh ls \ +you or todo.sh ls [[:space:]]+you.

This will match any context / project starting with the TERM; i.e. +you will also match inside +youtube. In order to just match the full context / project, we need another assertion for either whitespace or the end of the line at the end: todo.sh ls '[[:space:]]+you\([[:space:]]\|$\)'

For interactive queries, I'm usually lazy and just specify the name as-is; any additional undesired tasks can be mentally skipped. The ugly correct filtering is important for scripting uses, though, that's why I've mentioned them.
