For all VIM users, I've created an extension to get some features into Checkvist https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fofahggocngkjhdjmpplnaebognbkfmo

It's implemented on top of the existing Checkvist shortcuts so it has some caveats but it works. Right now, it adds:

l - Expand node (same as `→`)
L - Focus the list item (same as `Shift →`)
h - Collapse node (same as `←`)
H - Un-focus the list item (same as `Shift ←`)
o - Add below (same as `enter`)
O - Add above (same as `alt+enter`)
G - Go to the last item in the tree (same as `End` or `Fn+Down`)
alt+g alt+g - Go to the first item in the tree (same as `Home` or `Fn+Up`)

    Thanks for sharing!

    Personally, for me the problem is that I got used to use the 'll' shortcut to switch between lists, and I suppose with your extension this behaviour would be broken. Some other shortcuts, like 'hh', 'oo' are less important, but list switching with ll is essential.

    Thanks again!

    Kirill Maximov What I did to fix the 'll' problem is adding a little interval (~150ms) before running expand.

    So if I press 'll' quickly, the list wont be expanded and the list modal pops up. But if I press only the 'l' key, the expand command runs.

    It works pretty well for most cases. In the code, I've patched the `resetUnmatched` function on my custom matches, so they don't reset the default ones.

    Nicolás Santángelo That's a good idea - I mean it :) I hope your extension would be useful for VIM-lovers, and there are quite some among Checkvist customers.

    Thanks again!

    I find myself wanting to use fold commands like zo and zd to open and close nodes but l and h are a good fit.

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? :)
