Hi, a few quick questions on using Checkvist:

Show/Hide Parent List Items

Is it possible to show/hide parent list items when a sub-task is hoisted via the keyboard?  This would be great to have since everything else in Checkvist is keyboard-accessible.

Move selection to parent list item via keyboard

Is it possible to move the selection (highlight) "up a level" to a task's parent item.  For example, if the 10th child item is currently selected, is there a keyboard shortcut to jump to the parent item without having to press the up arrow key 10 times?

Hoisted view: Move up a level via keyboard

Is it possible to shift the hoisted view up a level to the parent list item via the keyboard.  Unhoisting a sub-task takes you back to the full list which can be disorienting (especially on large lists).  For example, jumping up a level would allow a quick look at a sub-task's sibling items without being exposed to the noise of the full list.

    I'd vote for the hoist-up per level!

    Doesn't a simple left arrow press move up to the parent (assuming it's shown)?

    Yes, the left arrow key jumps to the parent, but it also collapses the currently-selected task if has any subtasks.  This means it takes an extra step to get up to the parent item, and collapsing the subtask may not be desired as well.

    To hoist level up from the keyboard, you can move the selection with keyboard to [...] control at the top of the page, and press Enter. You'll see parents of the currently hoisted item, and you can Shift+Right one of the them. Not ideal, but still.

    Regarding moving the selection to the parent item - Stuart is correct on how it is supposed to be done. We simply implemented the keyboard behaviour in typical tree-like controls. For instance selections behaves this way in file tree in Finder on Mac or Explorer on Windows.

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? :)
