Quick delay and bulk shift options for timed tasks#4281

I

While writing this, I noticed that timed tasks can already have their time changed by dragging them, which is really useful.

The rescheduling feature I’d still find helpful is the ability to shift a group of timed tasks together.

When my day slips, the problem usually isn’t just one task, it’s that the whole remaining structure needs to move. For example, if I planned several Afternoon tasks starting at 14:00, but I’m running an hour behind, I’d like an option to do something like:

Shift all Afternoon tasks by 1 hour
or:
Delay this task and everything after it

This would be useful because manually moving each timed task one by one adds friction, especially when I’m already trying to recover from the day changing.

Possible options could be:

Reschedule this task only
Move only the selected task.

Reschedule this task and everything after it
Push the selected task and all later timed tasks forward.

Shift this section
Move all timed tasks in Morning / Afternoon / Evening by a chosen amount of time.

Shift remaining tasks today
Move all remaining timed tasks today forward together.

Ideally, Tiimo could also warn me if shifting tasks would create a conflict with a fixed-time task or push something too late.

Basically, dragging individual timed tasks is useful, but I’d also like a way to shift a whole part of the day when plans change, without rebuilding the schedule manually.
