AND/OR logic for filters

Feature Requests

It would be very helpful to add AND/OR logic to filters, especially when filtering by multiple tags. This would make tag-based filtering much more flexible. If nested tags are added in the future, it would also be great to allow filtering by an entire tag group.

    I think it would be great to also add NOT.

    Example use cases, with made up syntax:

    • for my weekly review, I want to see all tasks I haven’t tagged as a “some day maybe” item: !#some-day-maybe

    • at work, I want to see all tasks I can currently pick up: !(#blocked OR #waiting-for) or !#blocked AND !#waiting-for

    • I want to see all errands I can walk to: #errand AND !#car

    I would imagine on the implementation side it would be easier to parse some kind of a query syntax like this, though of course it would be a less user-friendly option than a UI that allows you to build your query. Personally, I’d be happy with either, but I’m happy to wait longer if it means it’s more accessible.
