Distraction-free task editing/creation #49

Closed andrei-a-papou closed 6 months ago

andrei-a-papou commented 6 months ago

I've been using pter heavily for some time and I generally love it. Especially with improved line editing, I can now have super-fast and efficient keyboard-driven workflows. And I haven't even started using automatic templates or hooks :)

So kudos for such a great tool, I mean it.

There are some minor UX hiccups here and there, but nothing that can't be fixed or improved over time.

One annoying UX issue that I have right now is when "New task" and "Edit task" dialogs are painted on top of a fully-populated task list. The task list is not blurred or dimmed in any way, the input dialog sort of blends with the task list, which makes it relatively hard to read. IMO, it would be much better to either dim the task list, or clear it completely and then repaint it on input dialog close.

Can this be implemented (perhaps as an option, like distraction-free-editing)?

Glad you like the tool! I think this type of distraction free editing should be possible, yes.

Added a reduce-distraction option that hides the tasks when there's another dialog open in general. Let me know if this is what you had in mind!

Looks awesome, thanks a bunch!
