Hi, Before I add an idea I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss an option, or a workaround: I search for ^today or ^tomorrow or ^asap all the time, but unfortunately almost always I don't want the matching branches to expand.

Example, I'd like a search for ^today to return only a collapsed "Things To Do" instead of this:

Things To Do ^today
one
two
three

Is that possible?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, this is not possible right now. If you clear filter with 'cf' or Esc Esc - the list state should restore to collapsed one.

    I'd like to avoid adding an option here, if possible. Rather, I'd consider changing the default collapse behaviour in such a case.

    The question is what other people think about this?

    Food for thoughts... If the default was to stop expanding the branches matching the filter, one can always expand the whole search using Ctrl+Shift+Right, but the reverse is not true because Ctrl+Shift+Left collapse everything.

    As an alternative, I would also be OK (but would prefer the above) with a new shortcut to collapse all branches/items to what the filter matches. Hope that makes sense, can provide examples if not.

    OK, looks like you found a bug :) The intended behaviour was to keep the node collapsed when there are no direct matches in child nodes, but it did not work for due: filters. It works correctly for tag: filters (no extra expand).
    We're going to publish a fix for due: filters on the beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Online outliner and task manager for geeks a bit later today.

    Thanks for noticing!

    Thanks Kirill, that works exactly as I was hoping.

    It seems to remember the items that I have previously manually opened, but I suppose that's OK since I can always fold everything first before searching if I don't want that.

    Seems that a "color:X ^today" combo has the same bug

    Xavier B Hmm, could you please send us more detail. I cannot reproduce it yet.

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? :)
