You may want to allow short aliases for those new commands (e.g. "pv" as alias for "projectview")
There is a small issue if you simply duplicate or symlink the add-on file: the corresponding help snippet will be duplicated as well in th eoutput of the todo.sh help command. To avoid that, you can create aliases by creating short add-ons such as this example (replace projectview by the command you want to call with your alias):
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
[ "$1" = "usage" ] && exit 0
shift
"$TODO_SH" projectview "$@"
</pre>
