What feature would you like to see?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. currently, I cannot permanently delete tasks in the VSCode IDE with CODEX plugin.

When I right-click on a specific task, the context menu only shows clipboard actions:

  • Cut
  • Copy
  • Paste

Additionally, the main UI only provides an "Archive" option. There is no way to delete a task entirely. This leads to a cluttered workspace with unwanted tasks that can only be hidden (archived) but not removed.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like a "Delete" option to be added to the right-click context menu for Tasks.

Expected Behavior:

  1. User right-clicks on a Task.
  2. The menu displays: Cut, Copy, Paste, and Delete.
  3. Clicking Delete triggers a confirmation prompt (e.g., "Are you sure you want to delete this task?").
  4. Upon confirmation, the task is permanently removed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Archiving: I currently have to archive tasks I want to delete, but this is not a true deletion and just moves them to a different list.
  • Cut: Using "Cut" (Ctrl+X) implies moving the item, not deleting it.

Additional information

Current Right-click Menu:

[ Cut ]
[ Copy ]
[ Paste ]
(Missing Delete)

Current UI:

Only allows "Archive".
