It helps -keeping track of events, appointments and everyday tasks. -A configurable notification system reminds user of upcoming deadlines, -and the curses based interface can be customized to suit user needs. -All of the commands are documented within an online help system. -</p> - -<h1>2. Overview<a name="overview"></a></h1> -<h2>2.1 Creation history<a name="overview_history"></a></h2> -<p> - I started thinking about this project when I was finishing - my Ph.D. in Astrophysics... It started to be a little hard - to organize myself, and I really needed a good tool to help - me in that difficult task ;) -</p> -<p> - I like programs which use Text User Interfaces, because they - are simple, fast, portable and efficient, so I thought about - working on coding a simple calendar using such an interface. - Moreover, I wanted to go on learning the <code>C</code> - language, which I only used for a while during my undergraduate - studies. So I thought that would be the good project to start - in order to get organized and to learn about a few - <code>C</code> things ! -</p> -<p> - Unfortunately, I finished my Ph.D. before finishing - <code>calcurse</code>, - but anyway, I still wanted to work on it, hoping it would - be helpful to other people. So here it is... -</p> -<p> - But why 'calcurse' anyway ? Well, it is simply the - concatenation of 'CALendar' and 'nCURSEs', the name of the - library used to build the user interface. -</p> - -<h2>2.2 Important features<a name="overview_features"></a></h2> -<p> - <code>Calcurse</code> is multi-platform and intended to be - lightweight, fast and reliable. It is to be used inside a - console or terminal, locally or on a distant machine within - an ssh (or similar) connection. -</p> -<p> - <code>Calcurse</code> can be run in two different modes : - interactive or non-interactive mode. The first mode allows - oneself to view its own personal organizer almost everywhere, - thanks to the text-based interface. - The second mode permits to easily build reminders just by adding - <code>calcurse</code> with appropriate command line arguments - inside a cron tab or within a shell init script. -</p> -<p> - Moreover, <code>calcurse</code> was created with the end-user - in mind, and tends to be as friendly as possible. This means - a complete on-line help system, together with having all of - the possible actions displayed at any time inside a status bar. - The user interface is configurable, and one can choose - between several color and layout combinations. - Key bindings are also configurable, to fit everyone's needs. - Last, a configurable notification system reminds user of upcoming - appointments. The reminders are sent even if the user's interface - is not running, as calcurse is able to run in background. -</p> - -<h1>3. Installation<a name="install"></a></h1> -<h2>3.1 Requirements<a name="install_requirements"></a></h2> -<h3>3.1.1 <code>ncurses</code> library<a name="install_requirements_ncurses"></a></h3> -<p> - <code>Calcurse</code> requires only a <code>C</code> compiler, such as - <code>cc</code> or <code>gcc</code>, and the <code>ncurses</code> - library. - It would be very surprising not to have a valid <code>ncurses</code> - library already installed on your computer, but if not, you can - find it at the following url :</p> - <pre>http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/</pre> -<p> - <p class="rq"><span class="valorize">Note:</span> - It is also possible to link <code>calcurse</code> against the - <code>ncursesw</code> library (ncurses with support for unicode). - However, UTF-8 is not yet supported by <code>calcurse</code>.</p> - -<h3>3.1.2 <code>gettext</code> library<a name="install_requirements_gettext"></a></h3> -<p> - <code>calcurse</code> supports internationalization - (<span class="emp">i18n</span> hereafter) through the <code>gettext</code> - utilities. This means <code>calcurse</code> can produce - multi-lingual messages if compiled with native language - support (i.e. <span class="emp">NLS</span>). -</p> -<p> - However, - <span class="emp">NLS</span> is - optionnal and if you do not want to have support for - multi-lingual messages, you can disable this feature. This is - done by giving the <code>--disable-nls</code> option to - <code>configure</code> (see section <a - href="#install_process">Install process</a>). - To check if the <code>gettext</code> utilities are - installed on your system, you can search for the - <code>libintl.h</code> header file for instance:</p> - <pre>locate libintl.h</pre> -<p> - If this header file is not found, then you can obtain the - <code>gettext</code> sources at the following url :</p> - <pre>http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/</pre> -<p> - <p class="rq"><span class="valorize">Note:</span> - Even if <code>libintl.h</code> is found on your - system, it can be wise to specify its location during the <a - href="#install_process">install process</a>, by using the - <code>--with-libintl-prefix</code> option with - <code>configure</code>. Indeed, the <code>configure</code> - could fail to locate this library if installed in an uncommon - place.</p> - - -<h2>3.2 Install process<a name="install_process"></a></h2> -<p> - First you need to gunzip and untar the source archive:</p> - <pre>tar zxvf calcurse-2.8.tar.gz</pre> -<p> - Once you meet the requirements and have extracted the archive, - the install process is quite simple, and follows the standard - three steps process: - <ol> - <li><code>./configure</code></li> - <li><code>make</code></li> - <li><code>make install</code> (may require root privilege)</li> - </ol> -</p> -<p> - Use <code>./configure --help</code> to obtain a list of - possible options. -</p> - -<h1>4. <code>calcurse</code> basics<a name="basics"></a></h1> -<h2>4.1 Invocation<a name="basics_invocation"></a></h2> -<h3>4.1.1 Command line arguments<a name="basics_invocation_commandline"></a></h3> -<p> - <code>calcurse</code> takes the following options from the - command line (both short and long options are supported):</p> - <p> - - <dl> - <dt><code>-a, --appointment</code></dt> - <dd> - Print the appointments and events for the current day and exit. - <p class="rq"><span class="valorise">Note:</span> the calendar from - which to read the appointments can be specified using the '-c' - flag.</p> - </dd> - <dt><code>-c <file>, --calendar <file></code></dt> - <dd> - Specify the calendar file to use. - The default calendar is <code>~/.calcurse/apts</code> - (see section <a href="#basics_files"><code>calcurse</code> - files</a>). - </dd> - <dt><code>-d <date|num>, --day <date|num></code></dt> - <dd> - Print the appointments for the given date or for the - given number of upcoming days, depending on the argument - format. Two possible formats are supported: - <ul> - <li>a date (possible formats described below).</li> - <li>a number 'n'.</li> - </ul> - In the first case, the appointment list for the - specified date will be returned, while in the second - case the appointment list for the 'n' upcoming days - will be returned. - As an example, typing <code>calcurse -d 3</code> - will display your appointments for today, tomorrow, - and the day after tomorrow. - Possible formats for specifying the date are defined inside the - general configuration menu (see - <a href="#options_general">General options</a>), using the - <code>input_datefmt</code> variable. - - <p class="rq"><span class="valorise">Note:</span> as for the '-a' - flag, the calendar from which to read the appointments - can be specified using the '-c' flag.</p> - </dd> - <dt><code>-D <dir>, --directory <dir></code></dt> - <dd> - Specify the data directory to use. This option is - incompatible with -c. If not specified, the - default directory is <code>'~/.calcurse/'</code>. - </dd> - <dt><code>-h, --help</code></dt> - <dd> - Print a short help text describing the supported - command-line options, and exit.</dd> - <dt><code>-i <file>, --import <file></code></dt> - <dd> - Import the icalendar data contained in <code>file</code>. - </dd> - <dt><code>-n, --next</code></dt> - <dd> - Print the next appointment within upcoming 24 hours and exit. - The indicated time is the number of hours and minutes left - before this appointment. - <p class="rq"><span class="valorise">Note:</span> the calendar - from which to read the appointments can be specified using the - '-c' flag.</p> - </dd> - <dt><code>-N, --note</code></dt> - <dd> - When used with the '-a' or '-t' flag, also print note content - if one is associated with the displayed item. - </dd> - <dt><code>-r[num], --range[=num]</code></dt> - <dd> - Print events and appointments for the num number of - days and exit.

If - calcurse is running, this will tell if the interactive - mode was launched or if calcurse is running in background. - The process pid will also be indicated. - </dd> - <dt><code>-t[num], --todo[=num]</code></dt> - <dd> - Print the 'todo' list and exit. If the optional number - <code>num</code> is given, then only todos having a priority - equal to <code>num</code> will be returned. The priority number - must be between 1 (highest) and 9 (lowest). It is also possible - to specify '0' for the priority, in which case only completed - tasks will be shown.</p> - </dd> - <dt><code>-v, --version</code></dt> - <dd> - Display <code>calcurse</code> version and exit. - </dd> - <dt><code>-x[format], --export[=format]</code></dt> - <dd> - Export user data to specified format. Events, appointments and - todos are converted and echoed to stdout. - Two possible formats are available: ical and pcal - (see section <a href="#links_others">Links</a> below). - If the optional argument <code>format</code> is not given, - ical format is selected by default. - <p class="rq"><span class="valorise">Note:</span> - redirect standard output to export data to a file, - by issuing a command such as: - <code>$ calcurse --export > my_data.dat</code></p> - </dd> - </dl> - -<h3>4.1.2 Environment variable for i18n<a name="basics_invocation_variable"></a></h3> -<p> - <code>calcurse</code> can be compiled with native language - support (see <a - href="#install_requirements_gettext"><code>gettext</code> - library</a>). Thus, if you wish to have messages displayed - into your native language, first make sure it is available by - looking at the <code>po/LINGUAS</code> file. - This file indicates the set of available languages by showing - the two-letters corresponding code (for exemple, - <span class="emp">fr</span> - stands for french). If you do not find your language, it - would be greatly appreciated if you could help translating - <code>calcurse</code> (see the <a href="#contribute">How to - contribute?</a> section).</p> -<p> - If your language is available, run - <code>calcurse</code> with the following command:</p> - <pre>LC_ALL=fr_FR calcurse</pre> -<p> - where <span class="emp">fr_FR</span> is the locale name in this exemple, but - should be replaced by the locale corresponding to the desired - language.</p> -<p> - You should also specify the charset to be used, because in some - cases the accents and such are not displayed correctly. - This charset is indicated at the beginning of the po file - corresponding to the desired language. For instance, you can see - in the fr.po file that it uses the iso-8859-1 charset, so you - could run <code>calcurse</code> using the following command:</p> - <pre>LC_ALL=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 calcurse</pre> - -<h3>4.1.3 Other environment variables<a name="basics_invocation_environment"></a></h3> -<p> - The following environment variables affect the way <code>calcurse</code> - operates:</p> - <dl> - <dt><code>VISUAL</code></dt> - <dd>Specifies the external editor to use for writing notes. - </dd> - <dt><code>EDITOR</code></dt> - <dd>If the <code>VISUAL</code> environment variable - is not set, then <code>EDITOR</code> will be used as - the default external editor. If none of those variables are set, - then <code>/usr/bin/vi</code> is used instead. - </dd> - <dt><code>PAGER</code></dt> - <dd>Specifies the default viewer to be used for reading notes. - If this variable is not set, then <code>/usr/bin/less</code> is used. - </dd> - </dl> - -<h2>4.2 User interface<a name="basics_interface"></a></h2> -<h3>4.2.1 Non-interactive mode<a name="basics_interface_noninteractive"></a></h3> -<p> - When called with at least one of the following arguments: - <code>-a</code>, <code>-d</code>, <code>-h</code>, - <code>-n</code>, <code>-t</code>, <code>-v</code>, - <code>-x</code>, - <code>calcurse</code> is started in non-interactive mode. - This means the desired information will be displayed, and - after that, <code>calcurse</code> simply quits and you are - driven back to the shell prompt.</p> -<p> - That way, one can add a line such as - <code>'calcurse --todo --appointment'</code> - in its init config file to display at logon the list of tasks - and appointments scheduled for the current day. </p> - - -<h3>4.2.2 Interactive mode<a name="basics_interface_interactive"></a></h3> -<p> - <p class="rq"><span class="valorise">Note:</span> - Key bindings that are indicated in this manual correspond to - the default ones, defined when <code>calcurse</code> is launched - for the first time.

This section provides informations about how to - translate those messages into your native language. However, - this howto is deliberately incomplete, focusing on working - with <code>gettext</code> for <code>calcurse</code> - specifically. For more comprehensive informations or to grasp - the Big Picture of Native Language Support, you should refer - to the <code>GNU gettext</code> manual at:</p> - <pre>http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/ </pre> -<p> - Basically, three different people get involved in the - translation chain: coders, language coordinator, and - translators. After a quick overview of how things work, the - translator tasks will be described hereafter.</p> - - -<h3>8.2.1 Overview<a name="contribute_i18n_overview"></a></h3> -<p> - To be able to display texts in the native language of the - user, two steps are required: <span class="emp">internationalization</span> - (i18n) and <span class="emp">localization</span> (l10n).</p> -<p> - i18n is about making - <code>calcurse</code> support multiple languages. It is - performed by coders, who will mark translatable texts and - provide a way to display them translated at runtime.</p> -<p> - l10n is - about making the i18n'ed <code>calcurse</code> adapt to the - specific language of the user, ie translating the strings - previously marked by the developers, and setting the - environment correctly for <code>calcurse</code> to use the - result of this translation.</p> -<p> - So, translatable strings are first marked by the coders within - the <code>C</code> source files, then gathered in a template - file (<span class="emp">calcurse.pot</span> - the <span class="emp">pot</span> extension - meaning <span class="emp">portable object template</span>). The content of - this template file is then merged with the translation files - for each language (<span class="emp">fr.po</span> for french, for instance - - with <span class="emp">po</span> standing for <span class="emp">portable object</span>, ie - meant to be read and edited by humans). A given translation - team will take this file, translate its strings, and send it - back to the developers. At compilation time, a binary version - of this file (for efficiency reasons) will be produced - (<span class="emp">fr.mo</span> - <span class="emp">mo</span> stands for - <span class="emp">machine - object</span>, ie meant to be read by programs), and then - installed. Then <code>calcurse</code> will use this file at - runtime, translating the strings according to the locale - settings of the user.</p> - - -<h3>8.2.2 Translator tasks<a name="contribute_i18n_translator"></a></h3> -<p> - Suppose someone wants to initiate the translation of a new - language. Here are the steps to follow:</p> - <ul> - <li>First, find out what the locale name is. For instance, for - french, it is 'fr_FR', or simply 'fr'. This is the value the - user will have to put in his <code>LC_ALL</code> environment - variable for software to be translated (see <a - href="#basics_invocation_variable">Environment variable for - i18n</a>).</li> - <li>Then, go into the <span class="emp">po/</span> directory, and create a new po-file - from the template file using the following command: - <code>'msginit -i calcurse.pot -o fr.po -l fr --no-translator'</code> - If you do not have <code>msginit</code> installed on your - system, simply copy the <span class="emp">calcurse.pot</span> file to - <span class="emp">fr.po</span> and edit the header by hand.</li> - </ul> -<p> - Now, having this <span class="emp">fr.po</span> file, the translator is ready - to begin.</p> - - -<h3>8.2.3 po-files<a name="contribute_i18n_po-files"></a></h3> -<p> - The format of the po-files is quite simple. Indeed, po-files - are made of four things:</p> - <ol> - <li><span class="emp">location lines:</span> tells you where the strings can - be seen (name of file and line number), in case you need to - see a bit of context.</li> - <li><span class="emp">msgid lines:</span> the strings to translate.</li> - <li><span class="emp">msgstr lines:</span> the translated strings.</li> - <li><span class="emp">lines prefixed with '#':</span> comments (some with a - special meaning, as we will see below).</li> - </ol> -<p> - Basically, all you have to do is fill the <span class="emp">msgstr</span> - lines with the translation of the above <span class="emp">msgid</span> - line.</p> -<p> - <span class="valorise">A few notes:</span> - <dl> - <dt><span class="emp">Fuzzy strings</span></dt> - <dd>You will meet strings marked with a <code>"#, fuzzy"</code> - comment. <code>calcurse</code> won't use the translations of - such strings until you do something about them. A string - being fuzzy means either that the string has already been - translated but has since been changed in the sources of the - program, or that this is a new string for which - <code>gettext</code> made a 'wild guess' for the translation, - based on other strings in the file. It means you have to - review the translation. Sometimes, the original string has - changed just because a typo has been fixed. In this case, you - won't have to change anything. But sometimes, the translation - will no longer be accurate and needs to be changed. Once you - are done and happy with the translation, just remove the - <code>"#, fuzzy"</code> line, and the translation will be used - again in <code>calcurse</code>.</dd> - <dt><span class="emp">c-format strings and special sequences</span></dt> - <dd>Some strings have the following comment: <code>"#, - c-format"</code>. This tells that parts of the string to - translate have a special meaning for the program, and that you - should leave them alone. For instance, %-sequences, like - <code>"%s"</code>. These means that <code>calcurse</code> will - replace them with another string. So it is important it - remains. There are also \-sequences, like <code>\n</code> or - <code>\t</code>. Leave them, too. The former represents an end - of line, the latter a tabulation.</dd> - <dt><span class="emp">Translations can be wrapped</span></dt> - <dd>If lines are too long, you can just break them like this: - <pre> -msgid "" -"some very long line" -"another line" - </pre></dd> - <dt><span class="emp">po-file header</span></dt> - <dd>At the very beginning of the po-file, the first string form a - header, where various kind of information has to be filled - in. Most important one is the charset. It should resemble - <pre> -"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n" - </pre> - You should also fill in the Last-Translator field, so that - potential contributors can contact you if they want to join - you in the translation team, or have remarks/typo fixes to - give about the translations. You can either just give your - name/nick, or add an email address, for exemple: - <pre> -"Last-Translator: Frederic Culot <frederic@culot.org>\n" - </pre></dd> - <dt><span class="emp">Comments</span></dt> - <dd>Adding comments (lines begining with the '#' character) can be - a good way to point out problems or translation difficulties - to proofreaders or other members of your team.</dd> - <dt><span class="emp">Strings size</span></dt> - <dd><code>calcurse</code> is a curses/console program, thus it can - be heavily dependant on the terminal size (number of - columns). You should think about this when translating. Often, - a string must fit into a single line (standard length is 80 - characters). Don't translate blindly, try to look where your - string will be displayed to adapt your translation.</dd> - <dt><span class="emp">A few useful tools</span></dt> - <dd>The po-file format is very simple, and the file can be edited - with a standard text editor. But if you prefer, there are few - specialized tools you may find convenient for translating: - <ul> - <li><code>poEdit</code> (<a - href="http://www.poedit.org/" target="_blank"> - http://www.poedit.org/</a>)</li> - <li><code>KBabel</code> (<a - href="http://i18n.kde.org/tools/kbabel/" target="_blank"> - http://i18n.kde.org/tools/kbabel/</a>)</li> - <li><code>GTranslator</code> (<a - href="http://gtranslator.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank"> - http://gtranslator.sourceforge.net/</a>)</li> - <li><code>Emacs</code> po mode</li> - <li><code>Vim</code> po mode</li> - </ul> - </dd> - <dt><span class="emp">And finally</span></dt> - <dd>I hope you'll have fun contributing to a more - internationalized world. :) If you have any more questions, - don't hesitate to contact me at - <span class="emp">frederic .at. culot .dot. org</span>.</dd> - </dl> - - -<h1>9.
