When you are in todo.txt mode, you have access to the following commands:

todotxt:add: add a new task on the line below the current line

todotxt:priority-a set the priority of the current task to A
todotxt:priority-b set the priority of the current task to B

There is also an autocompletion function when you are typing out a context or a priority.
