Filtering by Tag about vscode-todo-plus HOT 11 CLOSED

Now there might be the necessary APIs for implementing this 🤔 I'll have to take a closer look at it

from vscode-todo-plus.

You mean the way PlainTasks does it?

Yes. Being able to work on similarly tagged tasks is essential.

I'd like to implement it, but I believe there's no API for doing that at the moment.

I've opened an issue on VSC's repository, it would be helpful if you give it a thumbs up or write something.

It's still impossible to properly implement this, but as of v3 this extension contributes a view to the activity bar that can be filtered by any arbitrary string. 👍

Can't this be implemented by choosing a tag to filter by and then opening a new window with only the tasks with that tag?

@maiph you can do that, but then if you edit those todos the original file won't change. I'd prefer to implement this properly as soon as an API for folding arbitrary lines is available.

Is there a way to implement it using window similar to Ctrl+Shift+F? It could have a superset of the functionality, but also stuff like filtering by due date (#23). Each line in the result would correspond to an unticked checkbox (or maybe have that an option - only show uncompleted tasks) and clicking on that line would send you to that todo in the appropriate file.

That window could also have sorting by priority and similar features.

@SuperCuber Yeah I guess one could ask for the search query via a quickpick panel and then open a new editor with the results.

But it would kind of be a read-only experience, as even if you edit the results those edits won't be reflected back in the original file.

I was thinking something along the lines of this (screenshot from Zim Wiki's Manual)

You can see on the left it shows priority level (one ! for each level) and start/due time (OD stands for overdue since the docs are pretty old), and on the right the text. Clicking on the task just selects the text of the task in the appropriate page/line like so. At the bottom (not shown) there is a textbox where you can enter a query.
Editing through that is simply not supported, to edit you need to click on the task.

IMO it's very intuitive and useful, especially if you can input stuff like est < 2h && due < 2019-03-01 && priority > high, and most important - doesn't require any folding.
