Editable views #373

i usually kept manual markdown task-lists for my code projects but this method feels outdated for me now.

So, i installed todo-plus and wondered why on earth this (btw nice) plugin makes me edit tasks (once again) in a damn new window, instead to keep both edit and read view tidy in one of the sidebars. As if i would use my manual task list yet :((

Example, there is VSCode plugin sidebar-markdown-notes Preview which allows you to edit tasks and to check tasks off if you switch to reading view in the same sidepanel - exactly as task-plus should be. This feels natural and functional, imo. I do not see a reason to combine multiple plugins if i prefer yours which is not just a simple reminder note.

When I originally made the extension I think it wasn't possible to make those sidebar views editable. It looks like that extension may be creating its own entire content which is editable, which is fine but we would want an editable list instead, I'm not sure if VSCode provides API for making an editable list. Potentially an entirely new list could be added, but that wouldn't feel native to the app. I should look into that.

I see and thanks for your answer - as for now i continue to use that markdown plugin cited in my original post. Some plugins are really a quality of life. If you find time, it would be a nice addition to your plugin as well - anyway thanks for your plugin as well!
