Hi Kiril

Hi Kiril,

I've been playing with tags to try to find a workaround to the problems of priorities not behaving like a proper AND search term and matching in this unhelpful hierarchical way. So far it seems that the tags match in a useful manner, i.e., a proper AND that can be combined with the due dates within a search which is great.

Now... my problem is that I use several tags (including the new time tags) for each items, but it doesn't seem to be possible to remove a tag from several items at once - you have to go through each, which is painful. Sure, you "ct" works over several items - but that kills all tags - not what I want!

Would it be possible (and faster than changing the search engine, IIRC you said multiple times that wouldn't happen anytime soon) to add a new "dt" command that would simply remove a given tag (or tags) from the highlighted items?

For example, say you have those 3 items selected:

- Do the dishes #MIT #now #15m
- Post to CV friends forum #MIT #house #10m
- Walk the dog #MIT #30m

Then "dt" with "#MIT #now" would remove #MIT from all 3 items, and #now from the first item.

Kinda like what "tt" does, but in reverse. WDYT?

    Hello Xavier,

    Quite a reasonable request. Removing some tags from multiple items is not very usable now. We have a request in our uservoice, with the current idea to show a list of tags to be removed on 'ct' keyboard shortcut. The first item in the list would be 'all tags', so you can remove either one selected tag, or all tags.

    What do you think?

    checkvist.uservoice.com - Allow to remove tags with multiple selection

    This request is definitely easier to implement than proper search, we'll consider to add it to the next update.

    Hi Kirill,

    The uservoice entry seems OK, as long as it works against multiple items I'll be happy :)

    Xavier B It should, in the same way as 'ct' works now.

    Hi, Just wondering if that's still getting worked on, I would kill to be able to use it! I see there's been a release since but that feature's not in it, just wanted to make sure it's not forgotten :-)

    Hello Xavier B, this feature is not forgotten :) We're not working on it yet, but it is in our nearest todo.

    (In fact, we're fixing urgent notifications/sharing issues after the invasion of China spammers which occurred while we were on AmuseConf conference in Budapest).

    Thanks for the reminder, anyway :)

    Hi,
    Could you please check how 'ct' keyboard shortcut works on beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Online outliner and task manager for geeks - is it probably what you're asking for?

    Cheers,

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? :)
