Ctrl + Up/Dn doesn't seem to work for notes, is there another way to re-order notes for an item?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible.

    You can vote for checkvist.uservoice.com - Move notes up and down within task or use sub-items instead of notes in the meantime.
    You can also use multi-line notes, if this suits you, and re-arrange text there.

    One of the strengths of Checkvist is its power to rearrange items. Notes are not in this mindset. They can't be reordered, they can't be moved to other tasks, they can't be edited by other collaborators, they don't go away when their text is deleted. Notes have their place, but cloud be more useful (in the sense of easier to use) for me.

    Since the introduction of time tags, I'm using more note instead of subtasks, because they don't invalidate the time entries (with the setting that a task depends on its subtasks). This isn't feeling quite right yet.

    Notes are not intended to be used as sub-items, they are rather comments (bad naming). We don't keep the order of notes in the database, they are ordered by timestamp - so changing notes behaviour is a heavy task.

    By the way, I don't quite understand how sub-tasks invalidate time entries. On the beta.checkvist.com, the behaviour of time tags should not depend on the dependency setting - we've fixed it, I believe.

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? :)
