Using todoist cli without having to type long id numbers - 1.0

.todoist_things.sh

alias todoistl='unbuffer todoist --color list | cut -c 21- | nl' 

todoist_number () {
    todoist list | sed -n "$1p" | grep -Po '^\d{10}+' | cat
}

todoistc () {
    todoist close $(todoist_number $1)
}

todoists () {
    todoist show $(todoist_number $1)
}

todoistd () {
    todoist delete $(todoist_number $1)
}

Running todoistl will then create a list like this:

These shorter ids can then be used with todoistc, todoists, todoistd to close, show and delete tasks.

For example:

And now that task is closed.
