Feature Request: support creating/editing task descriptions

[Rahul-fix]

I am new to emacs(Doom emacs) and wanted to integrate todoist with emacs. So far its good start and thank you for this plugin :)

• Is it possible to add description to the task when we create a new task?
• The plugin provides fields for new task and then some deadline but I was unable to find any way to add description form emacs directly. I have open the todoist app and copy my description from org format after converting to md format.
• Also is it possible to get calendar to select the date when we need to set deadline?

Hi @Rahul-fix ,
Welcome!
It is currently not possible to add a description through the extension. It wouldn't be too hard to implement. Same with the calendar view but I recommend opening a separate issue that I can tag as a feature request.

Thank you for accepting the request.

• I would be nice to have small buffer where we can enter the description like org-capture/org-roam then using C-c C-k we could cancel or C-c C-c to confirm our input. This way I think we could use the vim-bindings in my case doom-emacs to edit the text.
• Could we write the description in org format and it will be converted md format in todoist app for better syntax highlighting and formatting.
• Also, is possible to trigger quickly to add the task from anywhere like some keybinding similar to org-capture because I need to open todoist buffer first and then I could start adding new tasks.

Thank you for the details! I think they make sense. I do not know if/when I will work on it though and as usual, I encourage PRs.

For a quick way to add a task from anywhere, it's already possible thanks to #31 . You can just setup a binding to call todoist-quick-new-task or just M-x todoist-quick-new-task.
