Not sure if the SDK supports it, but if it allows a swipe to the left for "Postpone" that'll be a nice addition.

And since we tackle tasks one at a time, the Edit button on the top right should show the "Postpone" & "Delete" buttons instead of the current "Complete" & "Postpone" buttons for some multiple selection actions.

But seriously though, why delete a task? That's cheating!

I don't think that is possible either
nonetheless, I would prefer to have more choice when I tab on edit may be I can complete, postpone then there is a more button which will pop a picker or a ... float menu? (reverse of drop down...)

Having letters show up sounds like bad usability to me. I wouldn't be able to know what these meant without reading some help documents.

I would add D (for Delete) as well.

The Google Voice app handles this elegantly, I think: If you just swipe an item, it shows an archive button, but it you touch and hold, an entire menu slides up with additional options, like delete. I think this would be a great approach to solving this request (which I second, by the way). :-)

I feel there's an important balance to be struck between simplicity and functionality, I think this is non-essential.

one of the reasons I like the iPhone interface is it's simplicity, I don't want to deal with 3 or 4 tiny buttons, it would just slow things down. Besides, as far as I know, the sdk only supports a single button (and I hope they keep it that way). I would however, see the value in adding these buttons to the multiple task edit options.

Although I think it's correct that the standard UI controls only allow for a single button, other apps such as Twitter have clearly worked around this successfully in almost the exact same way that this idea describes -- providing a list of multiple options upon swiping.

Further, Remember the Milk for Android provides this feature as well, which makes it much more useful for managing tasks than the iPhone version, especially if postponing and deleting are common options.

I don't see that adding two additional buttons would slow things down -- the "Complete" button could remain in the exact same position, with the other buttons simply appearing over the task itself, in much the same way as the Android version of RTM already works, and in the same way this has been implemented in other iOS apps such as Twitter.

My suggestion is to close and remove the Idea topics that are related to the old iPhone app (before v3)

The Sparrow email app has a "swipe to reveal" menu for email that includes several options. This is definitely possible.

Now, when you touch and hold a task it puts a complete button on the task. I would like it if it put two buttons... [Postpone] and [Complete].
