Slicing and Dicing

Slicing and Dicing

The sorting power of Checkvist is quite handy.  Is there any good way to sort by Tags?  

I can assign every item with a particular tag to have a particular priority, then sort by priority... but of course, the number of tags can very easily exceed the number of priorities available.  

It's possible to filter by tag, select all items of the filtered list, move them to a temporary list (named HOLD, for example), then move them all back to the top of the original list.

If moving to another list included the originating list, this would be quite an easy way to sort by Tag.

Anyone have a better way?

    Hello Jim,

      To move items with specific tag within a given list you can filter, as you do, and then cut the selected filtered items (Ctrl+X or Cmd+X on Mac). I suppose, you use multiple selection to select needed items.

     After that you can reset filter (rf), remove current selection (ESC) and press Ctrl+V to paste the items at the beginning of the list.

      If you don't remove the current selection, items will be pasted below the currently selected item.

     May be this is a bit faster than using an intermediate list?

     Also, you can perform a global search for a tag within all lists, not sure if this would help in your case.

      Best,

    Kirill Maximov, that works pretty well!
    Yes, it's faster, and quite easy.  Thanks.  The reset filter command appears to be the magic I needed.  Checkvist is chock full of magic...

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? :)
