Small feature suggestion:


Small feature suggestion:

When you have a nested list, you can use left arrow to navigate onto the parent node. That's easy and great. When there is a list of items (on the top layer), you have to manually press up arrows repeatedly to go to the top of the list.

It would be great just to press left and go to the top of the listed items. So in the screenshot below, pressing left to land on "Career" node.

    Isn't that what Home does?

    Xavier B, yes, it is. But the suggestion from John Obfuscated makes sense as well. On the other hand, I have not met such behaviour in other apps and accidental pressing "left" may change the context in an unpredictable way. So we probably won't add it yet.

    Kirill Maximov Well, if you press left arrow accidentally anywhere else, focus would jump on the top of the list anyway. Why should it be different for the top layer? : )

    I would argue that consistency of functionality throughout a product is important for ease of use. I find myself pressing left arrow a few times before saying "oh.... left arrow doesn't work at this level".

    Maybe I should be pressing home + ctrl + shift + left arrow. Pressing left repeatedly is much easier though. Because you won't need to learn a 4 key shortcut just to get on top of the list.

    Because it is not obvious given that on top level, there is no a parent task to set focus to. If we'd supported selection on list name, it would make more sense. For people who get used to the current behavoiur would be really inconvenient when selection (and scrolling) would go up when they did not want it to.

    As for home + ctrl + shift + left - you should just press home. No need for extra other buttons, if you have Home :)

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

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
