Support adding task properties with plain text without emoji

[CavalloneChen]

Right now, if I want to add due time to a task I have to use the calendar emoji which is very inconvenient. It would be much better if I can use keywords like "DUE" "REPEAT" to modify task properties.

This feature would be very helpful especially when editing tasks in Kanban.

Hey @CavalloneChen,

thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, adding and maintaining compatibility for different task property signifiers is not something I have the time for. Simplicity was one of the design goals of Tasks and it has to remain a low maintenance effort. Allowing different ways to identify dates, for example, has a lot of implications. For example: what happens to all existing tasks? Would they need to be updated?

Hope you understand.

Cheers,
Martin

It's totally reasonable to put simplicity at the first place. Thank you for your plugin, it's really enjoyable to use 😄
