Sidebar for Tags and Due Options
Add a sidebar for filtering by Tags and Due Dates within the current list. It could look something like this:
/=== Tags / Due Dates ==============
|
| Tags on this page:
| [ ] #red x7
| [ ] #yellow x3
| [ ] #blue x1
| [ ] #orange x4
|
| Due Date: [Dropdown Menu]
| Completed Tasks: [Dropdown Menu]
|
===================================
Initially, nothing would be selected and all tasks would be shown as usual. For each tag, you can select either a checkmark or an X. If you have checked one or more tags, then only tasks with those tags will be visible.
For example, if you put checkmarks next to #red and #yellow, and an X next to #orange, then you would see all tasks tagged red OR yellow but NOT orange.
If you put an X next to #blue and #orange, and you don't use any checkmarks, then you can filter out just those tags.
This sidebar could go either above or below the hints sidebar. It could be toggled on or off just like the hints sidebar, so it wouldn't need to clutter the interface for users who don't need it.

I think that whole functionality would be achieved if you could just
toggle a tag by clicking on it.
right now you have to Esc twice or click the x to clear the search field,
but it would be so much faster to just click the same tag again. -
Hello Bryan,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion, we really appreciate that.
Unfortunately, so far I think your suggestion contradicts with Checkvist approach of working from keyboard. Also, it will clatter user interface, which is already more complicated than we want it to be.
Still, I'll keep your request - may be we'll change our mind at some point and will add something like this in the future. But so far, I think it is rather unlikely.
Thanks again for sharing your idea :)

P.S. Maybe add a Priority option as well!
