Filter/search by TODO state #86

Closed mkarup closed 8 months ago

Sorry for asking this here, but is it possible to apply a filter to only show entries with e.g. the TODO state? I have a todo.org file that includes entries with both TODO and DONE state, because I only archive the DONE entries once in a while, at my PC. It would be nice to have a quick way to show my current todos.

Thanks in advance, and thanks for the killer app, definitely the best viewing experience on Android.

There isn't currently any sort of filtering capability. The closest you can get would be to cycle visibility to close everything, search for "todo", and jump between search hits.

A filter is something that could be done; I think the main issues to think about are:

What is filterable? Probably keywords and tags. What about arbitrary text? Anything else? Do we only look at the headline, or do we include section content?
What does the UI look like? How does it interact with other modes like search mode?

Support for filtering the document into a "sparse tree" as in org-sparse-tree will be in v1.37.0, available for testing soon:

iOS
Android
