Recurring Tasks, Fuzzy Dates, and migration scripts

I’m just getting back into TaskPaper after a few years away. I rewrote a couple scripts in JXA that I use the most to be compatible with 3.9.4 and add some features. I also created some migration scripts to help with Markdown task transfers.

Thanks for sharing. Just in case you missed it, TaskPaper also supports a similar fuzzy date syntax:

So for example TaskPaper > Edit > Insert Date

And then type 3d and you’ll get date 3 days from now inserted.

Thanks Jesse. Yes, I’m aware of the new date picker which is a great addition. I have found that rapid entry of tags with fuzzy dates with keyboard macros via Espanso is still faster for me than pulling up the date picker.
