Feature request: new key 'tr' ("tag repeat") to add the last-used tags to the current item.

Feature request: new key 'tr' ("tag repeat") to add the last-used tags to the current item. I'd like to be able to tag one item with some tags, then quickly add those tags to several more entries.

The tags to be added would be the last string I put in the 'tt' dialog box. The 'tt' box could advertise the new feature:

    Hello Drew,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Have you considered using multiple selection to select several items, and set the tag for it with 'tt'?

    For me, tagging using multiple selections works fine. What can be a bit of a pain, though, is removing tags. It needs positioning the cursor in a large line of text. I would prefer pressing TT, move to the tag, and then press DELETE to remove it. (Everything but the last step is already implemented.) Other removals are already optimized (clear due, clear all tags).

    Kirill Maximov Nope, I didn't know you had multi select at all :o

    Is there a "hide these tags" search filter? I'm tagging today because my task list was getting too long and I wanted to group some items for ignoring (but I don't use separate lists because those never get looked at; and if I use collapsed sublists then I can't put the main list in priority order).

    Drew Perttula May be you still could consider moving those items to a separate list, and create a recurring task to review those postponed tasks?
    After all, you're trying to ignore items without ignoring them :)

    Answering your question - unfortunately, we don't have an option to 'hide items with a tag'.

    Since I am familiar with this use case ("task list getting too long and needs to be focused"): Often I move the tasks that are to be ignored for a while to a subtask, add a review date, and sort the subtask by date. Another option is using a tag and add custom CSS for it to make the tagged tasks less visible (whatever style you like).

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? :)
