I love this idea. I've mentioned this before in another thread, but this would save so much more time.

Don't forget the keyboard shortcuts!
Just click 'c' and it completes the task. Also works if you have multiple tasks checked. One keystroke completes them all...

Unfortunately the keystroke adds an extra half-second ;)

jjeu, before I can click "c" I should check task.

Can't believe anyone is that busy!

Has this still not been implemented, four years later?

Agree. I find the select then act mechanism a mixed blessing. I would really like to move the arrow, hit c or 1,2 or 3 and have the action performed. The current way things are drives me nuts.

Especially in the android version. I can deal with it on the web app but on my phone I would like to see something like a checkbox/swipe option.

Perhaps the Android app has changed in the last 8 years, but swiping does complete a task.

As far as the Web App, there has to be a way to select an item without marking it complete. I suppose there's a way that could be developed, but I don't see it saving all that much time.
