    Seems like a no-brainer to me. Of course, implementing it would create some pushback, as users have learned to work around it.

    In most of the pgms I use, enter add a sibling, shift-enter (or shift-tab) add a child. I perfectly understand what is the problem when pressing enter on a node a very big multi-level list.
    But what I dislike is that the enter behavior is context-dependent.
    So, ok if we can mute this in the settings and kept the original behavior.

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    I've made an experiment and implemented this approach, currently on https://beta.checkvist.com. Enter on collapsed node adds a sibling, Enter on expanded node adds a child. Could you please try it out and see how it works for you?

    Philippe Demoulin - do you really think that you'll need the option to disable this behaviour?

    Thanks!

    Kirill Maximov Well, I can switch to the new way.. But I think to old users that have small lists.. well like me ;).... With small lists that are in general expanded (unfold), "enter = add a child" is frustating. Well, you answer a request of (I guess) a small list of users who use big lists... so you plan to change the basic behavior of a big whole part of users who that's the true are not concerned by the few's problem.
    It is up to you for the setting... in the company for which I code.. changing the habit always requires a "back to old version" settings in the Preferences.... that can disappear after one or two releases when people had the time to become familar with...

    FWIW I prefer the new way but didn't suffer from the old.

    We played with this a bit, but it looks like Philippe Demoulin is right - it gives some unexpected confusion. And especially, for cases when there are nodes with not many subnodes.

    So with the focused node we will add a child item, but for expanded parent will still add a sibling.
    Thanks!

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? :)
