Move addons menu to toolbar
planned

Multi-selecting/bulk assigning tasks is done using an icon on the toolbar.
The assign icon - in fact all of the addon icons (due data, assign, comment, upload file, & embed) - should appear on the toolbar for single-selecting/assigning tasks.
Right now, you have to go all the way over to the right to click the plus sign to initiate the first addon, then go all the way back to the left to actually make the assignment, pick the due date, etc.
Having the addons menu on the toolbar (and the associated assignment dialogs) is a way better use of screen real estate than having 5 choices of highlight colors taking up space.

I'm not sure how this is better? I guess you moved the context menu next to the addons menu, but there are still two separate menus. I'm sorry, but this is poor and unintuitive UI design. Every time I go to perform an action, I have to think about which button to click on. Usually, I end up clicking on both to figure out where the needed action is.
I don't understand why you think it's necessary to make a distinction between "addons" like due dates and assignments, vs actions like moving, completing, tagging, etc... These are all just different types of actions. Please get rid of the addons menu and move those actions into the regular context menu.

Hi everyone, small update on this.
- We added /slash command for quick editing and organization / management of tasks and notes.
- You can now click on the ⋮⋮ drag icon to open the new dropdown menu on the left of each task and node.
We will continue to improve the menus. Be sure to follow our updates on https://twitter.com/taskade and https://www.taskade.com/blog/product-updates/

John at Taskade: I agree with this request. Also, it's super-confusing to have two context menus. The add-ons menu should either be converted to buttons, as the OP requested, or merged with the main context menu, or perhaps both. I understand the difference between the add-ons context menu vs the main context menu, but it's still confusing. Every time I go to open the context menu to perform some task, I have to think about which menu I need to open.
