add a way to remove completed tasks

[naringas]

I tried to do it with Find and a regex ^\t*+ but then I cannot easily delete multi-line tasks. Their comments stay there.

This is not easily done. From a discussion thread on the topic:

Hi, thanks Jan. That's an interesting suggestion and I've considered things along those lines, but I always get hung up on how to treat the archived tasks.

For instance, if you have a list with some hierarchy to it, say something like this:

• refactor sketchy js
  • comments
  • img upload
  • char limiter
  • dashboard chart
  • build configs
• document flask blueprints
  • img upload
  • metrics dashboard
  • logback config

Then, you a finish a couple of items:

• refactor sketchy js
  • comments +- img upload +- char limiter
  • dashboard chart
  • build configs
• document flask stuff +- img upload +- metrics dashboard
  • logback config

If they're simply moved to the bottom of the file, it will be tough to know what parent task an archived task was associated with. Trying to avoid a situation like this:

• refactor sketchy js
  • comments
  • dashboard chart
  • build configs

• document flask blueprints

  • logback config

  ::Archive +- img upload +- char limiter +- img upload +- metrics dashboard

I think it would get worse as new things are added to the bottom because tasks that were previously associated would not be grouped together:

• refactor sketchy js

  • dashboard chart
  • build configs

  ::Archive +- img upload +- char limiter +- img upload +- metrics dashboard +- comments +- document flask blueprints +- logback config

In the archive above, there are duplicate entries and tasks that were previously related (like "document flask blueprints" and "metrics dashboard") are not grouped anymore. I haven't thought of a way to add some kind of archiving and avoid this scenario. What do you think?

LMK if you have any suggestions for how to handle this type of situation...
