Working with Tasks

Adding a Task

Type in the input field at the top of the view and press Enter or click Add.

Setting a Due Date

Click the calendar icon next to the input field before submitting to set a due date. The due date appears as 📅 YYYY-MM-DD in the Markdown file.

Task Actions

Hover over any task to reveal action buttons on the right:

Icon	Action	Availability
⠿	Drag handle — drag to reorder	Always
📅	Set / change due date	Always
➕	Add subtask	Incomplete root tasks only
🗃️	Archive task	Completed root tasks only
🗑️	Delete task	Always

Completing a Task

Click the checkbox to mark a task complete. A completion date (✅ YYYY-MM-DD) is added automatically.

Inline Editing

Click the task text to edit it inline. Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel.

Subtasks

Click the ➕ icon on any incomplete root-level task to add a subtask beneath it. Subtasks are indented with a tab character in the Markdown file.

Auto-Complete Parent

When the Auto-Complete Parent setting is enabled (default: on), completing all subtasks automatically marks the parent task complete. Reopening any subtask reopens the parent.

Due Date Colors

Tasks with due dates are color-coded:

• Red: Overdue (past due date, not completed)
• Orange/accent: Due today
• Normal: Future due date
