Hello, friends! Please help us test the new feature - multi-selection (bulk operations).


Hello, friends! Please help us test the new feature - multi-selection (bulk operations).
Now on http://beta.checkvist.com (same credentials, same data):
- Multi-select and copy/paste several list items at once
- Indent/un-indent
- Ctrl+Up/Down to re-order list items
- Close/open several tasks
- Delete

Do you like how it works? Any glitches? Support for adding attributes (like tags, due dates, etc) is in the works. 
Thanks!

    On MacOSX ctrl+up/down arrows are related to "Mission Control" app (http://www.danrodney.com/mac/) or do I miss something ?
    Multiple copies/deletions work fine, as well as indent/outdent

    Multi-selection + shift&mouse to re-order does not work

    Philippe Demoulin Thanks for trying this! On Mac you can use Cmd+arrows for reordering, instead of Ctrl+arrows. Shift+mouse reordering doesn't work, we haven't implemented it. It is rather tricky, may be a bit later, if there will be a high demand.

    You can use Shift+arrows to create a flat selection, and use Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on Mac) to exclude some items from selection.

    Ctrl+Click... will there be a mouseless alternative?

    Ralf Hauber Do you mean something like:
    * use up/down arrows to highligh items
    * press "sk" (for Selection Keep) to add the item to the selection ?
    * press "sd" (for Selection Disgard) to remove item from the current selection ? Note: "ss" for Selection Suppress is already used ;)
    * apply action to all the selected items, like dd or...
    ?

    We tried to make the behaviour similar to the one in the Explorer/Finder, when doing multiple selection there. This way for multiple selection should remain by default. 

    But the idea of having a separate shortcut for a sticky selection is an interesting one.
    May be 'st' could work to toggle a sticky selection, which preserves during navigating.

    We'll think about this, thanks for idea!

    P.S. In the meanwhile, you can try setting/removing tags on multiple selection with 'tt' and 'ct' shortcuts.

    Yes, 'st' toggle is a great idea.

    Philippe Demoulin Yes, I meant something like that.
    Kirill Maximov I agree that consistency is important, and that's a good way to select multiple items. In addition, 'st' sounds good.

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...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

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? :)
