Dear community.

Dear community.
I'm intrigued how CheckVist accomplished the following:
①　edit task opens a textarea　√
②　pressing enter submits　√
③　typing Japanese doesn't submit on the first enter key-stroke!!!

I understand 1 and 2, but how do they accomplish 3?
With a normal "text-input" I can accomplish this because enter is the default behaviour to submit the form, and the browser knows to not submit when typing Japanese.
But CheckVist did it with a textarea! A textarea needs a custom way to submit on enter, like a keystroke handler (on keydown or something), but it clashes with typing Japanese........

Does anyone know how they did it?

    Apparently it's possible by using KEYDOWN instead of KEYUP to trigger the enter to submit form.

    With keydown on enter it won't be triggered when typing Japanese, unless you do a second enter.

    Actually, we didn't do anything special for Japanese, it works by a coincidence. And I'm glad it works correctly for you :)

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? :)
