Rename Favorites in Task View

19 votes

When filtering and searching tasks, once a favorite is created, allow the text displayed in the left sidebar to be renamed.
The advantage this offers is faster recognition of each item's meaning to the user. The query means something to the app but something different to the user.
For example, a favorite in the sidebar that reads "ref:@spm"
- to the app this means, "show the user all the tasks that are tagged with @spm"
- but to the user this means, "senior project manager's tasks"
Were this feature implemented the user could retitle the favorite in such a way as to reduce the amount of decoding they have to do when reading through the list of favorites.

When in Tasks View, you can create shortcuts with pre-defined filters. However, the names of these shortcuts are ugly and unintuitive. For instance, in my attached screenshot, I would like to rename "ref:^waiting-personal" to be simply "Default" and similarly "ref:waiting-personal" to be "Waiting Personal". This seems like it would be a relatively simple and quick implementation, since I assume the default shortcuts "Due This Week" and "High Value" already imply some implementation of this feature.
