🔖 Feature description

Sometimes I wish to see a list of tasks without dates, as they take a lot of space. Or group the tasks by a date, so this is the date in the group is the only date that matters and seeing in the task line is redundant.

To solve this I need to write several instructions like hide done date, hide scheduled date, hide created date, etc one by one as I spot the dates in the query results.

✔️ Solution

I'd like to have an instruction to hide/show all the dates. For example hide dates.

❓ Alternatives

Write hide done date, hide scheduled date, hide created date in the global query and then add show ... date in each query when the dates are needed, but is not quite the same.

Another alternative:

For common searches, I use a text expansion tool (for example, Alfred on Mac or AutoHotKey on PC) to quickly paste in commonly-used instructions.

There are such tools available on all platforms - including mobile.

As this is the first such request for this facility, and it is so easy to generate common search instructions like this, I'm unsure of the importance of spending time on this.

My inclination would be not to spend time on this quite specific facility.

And instead to focus on more highly-requested features.
