Weekly view for To-Do
"My day" panel is really useful, but we also need look and have present always our week goals. The possibility bump all our to-dos help to declutter our mind, but this doesn't have sense if we can't organize or order them. So by this reason think is necesary a week view or a monthly view, even a more especific dayly view (maybe by hour or by morning/afternoon/night) could be really productive.

When selecting "Next Week" on a task, it should be set to Monday of Next week and not Sunday. Or at least this behavior should be configurable.

Add tags
Tags would allow organization across lists and folders.
Say I have a few tasks that all have the tag #amazon, I could hit the tag and see what other things I need to grab from Amazon regardless of the list or location.
Another useful example would be for modules in a project, #backendAuth #frontendAuth #databaseStoreProcs, regardless of which sprint/list they're located in.

Add button to hide/show completed items

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
It's really astonishing that there are no keyboard shortcuts for To-do (unless I'm really missing something). This is particularly essential for to-do lists - you want to be able to mark things as done or important, put them on My Day and so on without breaking up flow.
475 votesWe do support keyboard shortcuts on our Windows 10 (https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?s=tips-tricks&f=using-keyboard-shortcuts-with-microsoft-to-do-on-windows) and Mac (https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?s=tips-tricks&f=using-keyboard-shortcuts-with-microsoft-to-do-on-mac) desktop apps as well as our web app (https://todosupport.helpshift.com/a/microsoft-to-do/?s=tips-tricks&f=using-keyboard-shortcuts-with-microsoft-to-do-on-web).
