Feature request: make moving tasks easier #4

Description

@MaybeItsAdam

Summary

Make it easier to move and reorganize tasks.

Motivation

The app already supports moving tasks, but task reordering and restructuring should be easier and faster, especially in larger lists.

Potential improvements

  • clearer move affordances in the UI
  • richer keyboard flows for move up/down and indent/outdent
  • better feedback while moving tasks
  • fast move-to-parent / move-to-list / move-to-section actions
  • command palette actions for common move operations

Examples

  • move selected task to top/bottom of current level
  • move selected task under another task
  • move selected task back to root
  • move selected task to another list
  • bulk move multiple tasks

Questions

  • Is the main need better discoverability, faster keyboard actions, or more move destinations?
  • Should move actions be optimistic locally when syncing remotely?
  • Do we need a dedicated reorganization mode?

Follow-up ideas

  • drag and drop in larger views
  • move history / undo improvements
  • move to board column when board mode exists
