Feature request: search or add option - faster add new todo items feature

[clach04]

Have a search box that live searches, then have an option to add the content of the search as a new line item

An alternative is to pop-up buttons to the right hand side of the search field. E.g. "Search" and "Add", that way if the search doesn't get good hits, a single button press would add the new line item.

I had this idea for a feature, and then found out https://github.com/openintents/shoppinglist implements something like it. OI shopping list shares "lists" in common with simpletask/todo.txt but that's about it.

The OI list feature is implemented as live search, when pressing enter/return the value is added to the list. Right now that would conflict with the current SimpleTask behavior where pressing enter performs the search. I'll attach screen shots (the Google Play store screen shots don't show this, in fact they don't reflect what it really looks like at all)

View list

Search list started by clicking on magnifying glass icon

Typing in "test" would live search, in this instance with no results, pressing enter would then add a new item "test".

Good idea. Probably not super easy to implenent considerign how difficult it is to do stuff with the standard Android search widget.
