Two intermittent issues that have been annoying me about Checkvist.

Two intermittent issues that have been annoying me about Checkvist. Neither is consistent enough for me to capture via screenshots, unfortunately:

1. List items with multiple line breaks sometimes appear compressed (i.e. with only single line breaks, even when I've included double or triple) after "saving". Workaround is to reactivate the item and immediately close it....it usually appears correct.

2. Sometimes after editing and closing an item, the text appears as a very light grey, and does a very slow fade-to-black. Until it finally turns black, you can't re-open it for editing in any way. I'm guessing this is the CheckVist server lagging on a save action.

    Hi Jim,

    1) - could you please make a screenshot the next time when you notice the problem? It is not quite clear what's going on there.
    2) This could happen on adding a new item, i.e. before server acknowledges request, the item is shown as gray. But for editing, it should allow to edit further almost instantly. What is your case?

    1. Will do

    2. yeah, as I said, I think it's a delay in saving (usually about 5 seconds, but I've seen it take 15-20, and I'm on a fast wifi fwiw). I usually notice the saving in-progress cursor at those times. It happens often enough to be annoying, but not often enough to easily catch a screen shot.

    Hello Jim,

    We'll try to investigate the problem and see what can be done with server performance. Unfortunately, it is not usually a thing which can be fixed quickly :( Thanks for letting know about it. 15-20 seconds is really non-acceptable.

    Regards,

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

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? :)

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
