May I suggest that Ctrl+A only selects the items matched by the filter, currently it selects everything which doesn't make it as useful as it could be. I would be happy with another shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+A or Ctrl+Shift+A) if that bothers too many people.

My (current) use case: Search for ^overdue, Ctrl+A, remove the "branches", swear a few times because I get it wrong, type "td".

  1. Ouch. This is obviously our bug. We will fix it, soon.
    Thanks a lot!

  2. Hmm. I'm afraid I misread your message. I thought that Ctrl+A selects all the nodes, including those not shown on the screen.

    Now I understand you better, and it is indeed another feature. Could you please file it to uservoice forum? It is not very trivial, and I'd like to focus on more urgent issues.

    Thanks!

  3. Ralf Hauber Didn't Kirill Maximov say earlier that the Ctrl-A + st not working was a bug? (and would therefore be fixed soon). So I'm not quite sure how your uservoice idea would be different from:

    1. Filter
    2. Ctrl+A
    3.st
    4. Apply operation, i.e., td/tm, etc...

    Note: There's another bug I mentioned about Ctrl-A incorrectly (I think) selecting the branches that are not technically part of the filter but that's also getting fixed IIRC.

  4. Xavier B As I mentioned after my first answer, I did not read your message correctly. So the current behaviour is not a bug. Currently, after the filtering, Checkvist shows parent and child items, and they are selected with Ctrl+A. Ctrl+A is expected to select all nodes visible on the screen, excluding collapsed and filtered out.
    I thought that Ctrl+A includes nodes which are not visible due to the filter, but this part is working correctly.

  5. So the only way to remove the branches is to go back and unselect them? Do you have a faster workaround? I want to select my ^overdue items (minus the branches) and set it to ^today.

  6. Xavier B It all depends what "turning the results into a selection" means. I think there should be a fast way to select only the tasks that matched the filter (i. e. without their ancestors). So you wouldn't need any workarounds.

  7. Not quite a trivial fix, unfortunately. But I hope we'll do it one day.
