A simple obsidian plugin enabling better task management via lists.

Features

Create lists with task states

Simply start an ordered or unordered list and then add one of the following directives, :to-do, :doing, :paused or :done.

- Supported task states
    - :to-do I need to be done
    - :doing I am being done
    - :paused I am paused
    - :done I am done

These will render the directives as interactive task state boxes like so:

Sort lists according to its status

Sorts can be triggered via the "Sort lists" command, the context menu (Option + click or right click) on a task state box or the context menu on the editor.

Lists will be sorted according to this sort order:

• :doing First, as your attention is needed
• :paused Second, as you may need to review it
• :to-do Third, as you can pick this up when the above is done
• :done Last, as your attention isn't needed

Change the states of a task list item

• Click a task state box to cycle to the next state

• Use the context menu on a task state box to mark a different state

Project values

• Performance focused, a lot of care is taken to ensure task-list doesn't slow down obsidian

• Markdown compatability, task-list extends markdown but doesn't break it, your documents will still render outside of this plugin, with a readable task state and easy to remember directives
