Just signed up for the premium trial.

Just signed up for the premium trial. I would have signed up earlier but didn't realize that the PayPal payment isn't due until after the 14 days. I need to read more carefully.

My reason for premium is access to custom css. I like to narrow my browser window so I can have my novel outline open beside Scrivener, my writing tool. With Checkvist's default css, there's a couple of hardcoded settings that kept this from happening.

Well, I signed up for the trial, turned on Chrome's Development tools, and found the troublesome css in a matter of minutes. The overriding was simple and effective. So far, no complains -- it works beautifully. My only danger now is to stay focused on the novel and not on how I dress up Checkvist. This tool continues to impress.

Here are my settings. A warning, though: I just started using these values. There could be hidden issues that pop up.

```
html, body, .main_div {
   min-width: 0
}
#tasks_block{
   min-width:10em;
}
```

    Interesting blog post. I need to get myself a blog -- if only to talk about Checkvist. :)

    Thanks for the URL. I tried it and I love the minimal look and that I don't have to worry about custom css. However, the clicking on tags doesn't seem to work, and the search shortcut ( / or ff) also doesn't work. Am I missing something?

    Michael, unfortunately, the compact Checkvist view doesn't support list filtering. Please vote this request to watch it: http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/4236124-search-box-in-compact-view

    Done. I am amazed at what checkvist can do, and also at your response to users. Great work.

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l
