I'd quite like the ability to delete a node and have it's children promoted in one go. Currently deleting a node will delete the children, so I have to first move them all to the "left" (i.e. up one level) before deleting their parent.

    Agreed, that would be a useful feature. Any ideas on how to make it more discoverable? Standard Del must delete the whole node, that's the default behaviour. A new shortcut, like s-del (for 'smart delete')?

    So here's an interesting idea. (I get this inspiration from ReSharper) pressing ALT+ENTER should bring up a "quick action" list of things you can do (basically a HTML context menu) where up/down selects something. Any features you can't find a spare keyboard shortcut for that currently need the mouse or something that apply to a checklist item can go on there.

    As existing [d] are shortcuts related to "Due" dates, I suggest [xp] for "Delete and promote"

It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
