Quick add

Type a whole task in one line; a long one wraps and the box grows, so it stays easy to read and fix. What Punchlist recognises turns into a chip on the line under the text as you type and comes out of the title; the cross on a chip keeps those words as plain text instead.

Call the vet tomorrow 3pm #pets !high ^Home

makes the task Call the vet, starting tomorrow at 15:00, tagged pets, high priority, in the list Home.

Write Sets Examples
A date or time The start today, tomorrow 9am, fri, next monday, oct 30, in 3 days, fri 9-11am (a span)
due + a date The due date due fri, due by friday, due on oct 30
every ... How it repeats every day, every 3 days, every weekday, every other week, every mon and thu, every month
#tag A tag (made if new) #errands, #home/garden; #garden finds home/garden when it is the only one
!priority Priority !high !h !1, !medium !med !m !2, !low !l !3, !none !0
^list The list ^home, ^groc (the start of a name is enough)
@person Assign it @kim (people you share with, by name or username)

Without ^list, the task goes to the list you are in (or the Mess Drawer from a view).
