There’s also shake to undo deletes.

Thanks, I did not know about shake-to-undo-delete. There’s so much I don’t know, I’m looking forward to a user manual of sorts.

Shaking doesn’t solve _accidental_ (unknowing) deletes, though.

Some better manual or in-app reference is definitely on our list. I could see us expanding the archive to possibly include recently deleted or recently cleared in the future.

@Aussiebob I will definitely be curious what ends up being the most requested features as we go, I’m sure it’ll spark some feedback and ideas when the toolbar ships.

The concept is to make the editing options appear only when the user interacts with a list item—either through a tap, long press, or a two-finger gesture—rather than when simply entering text for a checklist. This ensures that when you’re just checking, unchecking, writing, deleting, or moving items, the editing options remain hidden, streamlining the experience.

The goal is to avoid displaying them constantly, as it can give the app a cheap appearance, in my humble opinion.

It’s definitely tricky with Clear. Tap is reserved for editing an item, long press is reserved for picking up to drag and drop/sort. Two finger would need to be taught.

The current toolbar build will include a setting that enables swiping up or down to reveal/hide it, so I’m hoping that will thread this needle, making the functionality obvious enough, but allowing for that contextual use case too.

(Sorry about the late reply btw, has been a busy week here and was able to check into the forums less often!)

I’m gonna butt in and say if you’re going to teach users to use two finger action for something, that it be swiping directly between lists like we used to be able to as an alternative to the back-out-then-select-a-list action we have to do now.

If we were to, yeah I think it would be opt in and tied to a more power user gesture like that.
