Feature proposal: savable filters

[freder]

I think it would be handy to be able to save filters. this PR is just a quick and dirty proof-of-concept. I haven't checked where sleek stores the user config but I would imagine the saved filters could live in a json file next to the actual todo.txt file.

Hi @freder , thanks for the PR, really appreciate it.

I havn't had the chance to check what exactly is done in your code, so I'm just refereing to the PRs title. Filter (contexts, projects, priorities) are already being persisted in the user configuration (/home/$USER/.config/sleek/user-preferences.json). So if you select one the filters and close sleek, your selected filter should still apply when you reopen sleek. If this doesnt happen on your side, you might have found a bug and I would be looking forward to a bug report.

Anyhow I just double checked the latest release and it doesn't seem broken. But maybe I'm misreading your proposal.

sorry, I should have described in more detail:

basically, I want to be able to save different sets of filter configurations. – similar to "perspectives" in omnifocus
