Feature Request: Right-click to Next Task

Open stellarpower opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

When I have a long list of tasks, and I want to further refine it by nesting, achieving this alone through drag 'n' drop in the desktop web interface can become cumbersome. I have to long-press on the task itself, and then drag it for a long way (without the ability to scroll with my mouse) in order to position it into the task I want to nest it under. It's also easy to be off-by-one and nest the task incorrectly, or have it jump back to where it was.

I'd like to be able to nest a task by assigning it more explicitly. E.g., right-clicking it (or using the three-dots menu), and then "nest under", and be presented with a scrollable menu of all of the tasks in this list. For subtasks, these could be indented, or be clicked-through to reach the next level, possibly with an "okay" button to confirm the final choice.

Nesting and renesting takes up quite a lot of managing my todo lists - I tend to dump ideas as soon as I have them, so I don't forget, and then group them logically as I manage my week. The ismple infinite levels of recursion in the tasks app make it the most powerful todo list app I have ever used (so many out there simply don't support his and are limiting), however, I think some UX improvements would help make re-classification of tasks much quicker for the user.
