Hmm.. if I'm the only one who's missing this feature, I might just have to create a 'topic' that's called "active long term tasks" or something. That would let me filter so I get the overview I want too..!
This is my setup by the way.. Work, Life and the kitchen sink, all in one.

Every action I enter gets stored within some project (with as many sub projects as needed) and with Topic and Context assigned for filtering purposes. Under Single Actions I have nothing listed.
Most actions are Inactive, some sequential, some ASAP. Sadly I don't have anyone to delegate stuff to ;) (So I could use that for "in progress" too if I wanted, not sure what would be easier? I think I'll 'tag' it and use Topics...)
If the picture's not working:
Contexts(topics)
Work (name of boss/websites/fonts)
Hobby(sport/music/writing/art/reading/learning)
Life (finances, for sale, buy, travel, todo)
Contact (friends, other, waiting for)
Topics not necessarily limited to that particular context (art can be work not hobby if it's a commission -- in which case I really need to keep track of things ;) )
