I solved my problem with a todo stack, stored in a text file.

Basically it's a TUI app that operates on new line separated text.

Insanely simple. can only operate on the top 3 todo items. All one shot keypresses to manipulate.

But I absolutely love it. Use it every day. Those one shot keypresses to manipulate may not sound like much, but it's always 1-4 less keypresses than I'd need in vim, and the limitations free up a lot of mental space.

(I'd give a link but it's posix only and I you'd have to compile it yourself, and also I don't want to implement your features).
