Describe the feature

AFAICT there is a Dispose task that stops and delete a task. Is it possible to add Stop binding to the sidebar to only stop/cancel but not delete the task?

Provide background

I think it is a good suggestion, it is annoying that we have to dispose a task in order to stop it then re-enter all parameters again.

I'm confused by this request, because there is an action for stopping a running task

overseer.nvim/lua/overseer/task_list/actions.lua

Lines 21 to 28 in 9161b4d

	stop = {
	condition = function(task)
	return task.status == STATUS.RUNNING
	end,
	run = function(task)
	task:stop()
	end,
	},

It only appears while the task is running, though. So if you select a task that has already completed it will not appear. Perhaps that's why you don't see it?

Hi @stevearc and thanks for your reply. Maybe then the request is much simpler: I want to add the stop action to the task_list = { bindings = ...}}. I see for instance a Dispose binding defined here:

overseer.nvim/lua/overseer/task_list/bindings.lua

Lines 146 to 152 in 2a2b6fe

	{
	desc = "Dispose task",
	plug = "<Plug>OverseerTask:Dispose",
	rhs = function(sidebar)
	sidebar:run_action("dispose")
	end,
	},

which I can then remap as:

task_list = {
    bindings = {
        ['dd'] = 'Dispose',
},

Is it possible to do the same thing for the stop task?
