Terminal menus

tui/samu-tui puts fzf menus over the command line: the views, a task list with a preview, and keys for the common edits. Everything goes through samu.

Needs samu signed in, fzf 0.53 or later, jq and bash. make install links it into the bin directory. The editor for notes is $VISUAL, else $EDITOR, else vim.

samu-tui                       # the main menu: available, today, inbox,
                               # flagged, projects, by tag, search
samu-tui list --available      # the task list directly; options as for samu list
samu-tui list --inbox
samu-tui --help

Helper script

The lists and edits come from pult/samu-pult, a small shell script that prints tab-separated lists from samu and runs actions. It also serves a menu for pult, a keyboard overlay for Wayland that is a separate project; pult/samu.edn is that menu. Set SAMU_PULT if the script lives elsewhere.
