Introducing Inline Editing: Edit Your Tasks Faster

Posted on May 16, 2025

We just added a feature many of you have been asking for: inline editing! Now you can quickly edit your tasks without leaving the current view, making your task management even more efficient.

How to Use Inline Editing

Using the new inline editing feature is simple:

1. Double-click on any task text
2. Edit the content directly in place
3. Press Enter to save your changes or Escape to cancel

No more separate edit pages or pop-up modals - your tasks can be updated right where they are.

Why We Added This Feature

We've heard from many users that editing tasks should be quicker and more intuitive. Inline editing makes updates nearly instantaneous, especially for small text changes and corrections.

Some benefits of the new inline editing feature:

• Save time with faster edits
• Stay focused by not switching contexts
• Reduce clicks needed to make changes
• Edit naturally just like in modern document editors

Technical Details

For those interested in the technical side, the inline editing feature uses:

• Stimulus.js for handling the interaction logic
• Turbo and Ajax for seamless updates without page reloads
• Responsive textarea sizing that automatically adjusts to content length
