Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Actually it's not possible to filter tasks by status.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to filter tasks by status (e.g. NEEDS-ACTION, IN PROCESS, COMPLETED) so I can focus only on tasks that are "Work In Progress" and filter out the tasks that I think I will start later.
The android app OpenTasks (not developed anymore) had this kind of filter.
Describe alternatives you've considered
-
A workaround would be to write the status as a tag so it could be filtered out with the new tags filter. This would be less than ideal as it will increase the number of tags used and will make the interface more clogged.
-
Another solution could be to implement smart collections (e.g. a section on the left) based on the status.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing task filtering UI and the tags filter, then trace how task statuses are represented and filtered. Done means users can filter tasks by statuses such as NEEDS-ACTION, IN PROCESS, and COMPLETED without requiring status tags.
