1.11: Easier task management and other improvements

Better task management

In the previous release, we included a survey to ask how to make the task system work better for you, and recieved a ton of valuable feedback. Thank you to everyone that responded! Based on the results of the survey, this release includes a bunch of improvements to make tasks even easier to use:

• Improved session restore behavior: Instead of always restoring your previous session, Min will now ask you whether you want to return to your previous task or not:

• Task collapsing: You can now collapse tasks you aren't using so they take up less space in the overlay.

• Undo delete, which makes it harder to accidentally delete tasks.

• Favicons let you find tabs more quickly in the overlay.

• Keyboard shortcuts to switch tasks: shift+alt+ctrl+1 switches to the first task you have open, shift+alt+ctrl+2 to the second task, etc.

Improved Browser Commands

Browser Commands let you quickly control the browser from the keyboard, without having to remember keyboard shortcuts. In this release, they're even easier to use:

• ctrl+e now opens the searchbar and shows a list of available commands.

• Added a !nametask command to rename the current task.
