Right now it is not possible to set a task to complete in the overview. First you select a task, then you go to a list and then you can complete. Sometimes I forget to go back to the overview and at the end of the day when I click overview again, I find out that I have missed tasks.
So to just complete a task in the overview would be wonderful.

says:You could duplicate the Overview layout using smart lists. That way you can abandon the Overview altogether and use the Tasks view instead, much more configurable.

says:I second it. Why not have the "Overview"-lists being formatted like every other list? Why should the user learn about the differences of a overview list compared to the rest of the lists?
Don´t make me think ;-)

says:I agree with all above.
I have manually re-created the overview content using smart lists.
To think of the coding effort that must have gone into "removing" the functionality !

says:+1 you should be able to take actions in the overview. You should also be able to see time estimates.

I actually just posted a similar idea today. So it is +1 for me. I would love to be able to manage my tasks from overview.

One more thing.
For me, the overview is good for acting.
The tasks view is good for planning.
When I act I don't want to switch to planning. And vice-versa.
Basic task actions in overview would be great.
..and would it be closer to GTD?
and +1 once again. :)

More overview feature Please
Such as:
Selecting Task, Completing, Postpone, Custom List on Overview

Another vote for editing tasks from overview, especially since i like the way the "weekly planner' prints out much better than the way the task lists do.
