Vi Scheduler

Vi Scheduler (VIS) is a lightweight tool that brings a Vim-like calendar to your terminal. It allows you to quickly view and edit your schedule, appointments, and tasks without leaving your command-line interface.

Built using C++ and the Ncurses library, Vis offers a fast and efficient way to manage your time in the terminal. It suppors various navigation and editing commands inspired by Vim, such as navigating between days or months, adding and deleting events, and setting reminders.

Features

  • Vim-like navigation and editing commands
  • Multiple view modes: month, week

Dependencies

The following is a list of dependencies that your system needs in order to be able to run Vis.

Building

To build Vis, simply clone this repository and run mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make

Usage

To start Vis simply run the vis binary in your terminal alongside the name of the calendar file.

For example: vis school.cal

This will open the default view mode (month) and display the current month's calendar. From there, you can use the following commands to navigate and edit the calendar:
