When you swipe a task, show options for 'Complete', 'Postpone', and 'Edit' instead of just 'Complete'

Doncha love it when people post their own ideas? Me neither! :-)

Just kidding. I thought this was so awesome I had to come in and see what other's here thought of the idea. Here it is: (drumroll please)

When you "swipe" a task, instead of just having a "Complete" button show up (which is brilliant in it's own right), you would have 3 letters show up:

P (for Postpone)
E (for Edit)
C (for Complete)

I don't care about the order, but it would be nice to skip the extra taps to go directly to those functions.

Okay, I'm curious to know if anybody else thinks this is a cool idea. I don't even know if it's possible, but I like it!

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.
