Using

Applescript

In my case, I saved the Applesript in the Zed config folder ~/.config/zed/Comment_to_Omnifocus.scpt

on run argv

	set {tasktag, stem, deferplus, dueplus, symbol, tasknote, row, projectname, taskname} to {item 1, item 2, item 3, item 4, item 5, item 6, item 7, item 8, item 9} of argv


	tell application "System Events"
		count (every process whose name is "OmniFocus")
		if result < 1 then
			tell application "OmniFocus" to activate
		end if
	end tell


	tell front document of application "OmniFocus"
		set _defer to deferplus as number
		set _due to dueplus as number
		set _row to row as number
		set deferdate to ((current date) + (_defer * days))
		set duedate to ((current date) + (_defer * days) + (_due * days))
		try
			set theTag to (first flattened tag where its name is tasktag)
		on error
			set theTag to make new tag with properties {name:tasktag}
		end try
		set theProject to first flattened project where its name = projectname

		tell theProject
			make new task with properties {name:"➧" & stem & "➧" & symbol & "➧" & _row & "➧ " & taskname, note:tasknote, primary tag:theTag, defer date:deferdate, due date:duedate}

		end tell
	end tell
end run

Tasks

Zed Variables

The used Zed Variables are.

• ZED_COLUMN: current line column
• ZED_ROW: current line row
• ZED_FILE: absolute path of the currently opened file
• ZED_STEM: stem (filename without extension) of the currently opened file (e.g. main)
• ZED_SYMBOL: currently selected symbol; should match the last symbol shown in a symbol breadcrumb (e.g. mod tests > fn test_task_contexts)
• ZED_SELECTED_TEXT: The selected comment text

The date arguments:

• defer_days: The number of days for which the task is deferred.
• due_days: The number of days until the task is due.

The arguments send to the Applesript: scrpt_path, omnifocus_tag, ZED_STEM, defer_days, due_days, ZED_SYMBOL, open_terninal_commandand the selected comment_text.
