short help (-h) does not list short help of the addons about todo.txt-cli HOT 3 CLOSED

I just wrote the functionality in my fork. This not only does shorthelp, but also modifies help so it puts it in the right sort order.

The branch is help-updates

from todo.txt-cli.

One thing of note is that if this patch goes up, then there will be an API break because action developers now have to add a "shorthelp" capability.

from todo.txt-cli.

In issue #50 I have implemented an alternative way to show usage help of addons. Instead of requiring addons to support a new "shorthelp" action, it just requires them to stick to the same help formatting (i.e. indent level) as todo.txt itself uses. Many addons do this already, and they all really should :-)
Even though this solves the issue in a more "hackish" way, I believe it's more practical than demanding changes in all addons; most of them have never been or are rarely updated.
