Suggestion: Like in Workflowy, it would be great if every item would be able to become a heading with the next level of items becoming the top level list items.

    Hi, probably you're talking about hoist/focus feature. It should be available with Shift+Right keyboard shortcut. Is it what you're looking for?

    First, to to be clear, this is the best todo/organizer I've seen in the wild. At least, according to my needs :) Also, Checkvist convinced me not to start my own long term project to create something I need :)

    Yes, by accident I've realized it by accident (and, at the same time for a minute I was horrified because I thought I lost all data I put there :) ).

    But it would be good to have a kind of rearranging headings (or at least that as the option).

    For example, if it's about a simple list item, it should become H1 and the subitems should be regular items. But if it's, for example, H3, it should become H1 and every H4 should become H2...

    BTW, I like headings, as well :)

    Hello Milos Rancic,

    Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad that you can now save your time for more interesting projects :)

    Regarding the accidental focus - this is a real usability problem, and I hope we'll address it in coming releases. The similar problem we have with the 'hc' keyboard shortcut, which hides the completed item.

    Regarding the heading re-arrangement. We have a keyboard shortcut which toggles the heading on the selected list item - 'mh' (markdown header). The level of the header depends on the current level of the item in the hierarchy and on [Set the keyboard shortcut for the automatic Markdown heading to level] setting on your Checkvist settings page.

    What is important, that if you focus on some deep branch, the 'mh' shortcut considers the top visible item as the first level and 'mh' shortcut behaves appropriately. I.e. it can remove the current heading level, and add new one according of combination of focus level + setting value.

    Also, Checkvist provides bulk selection, so you can change headings on several levels at once.

    I suppose, these features may help you to change heading levels the way you want?

    Regards,

    Thanks! I will test the shortcuts.

    At this moment, I have one note: if I used SHIRT-RIGHT once to focus one item and then used it again in the already focused list, SHIFT-LEFT should lead to the previous focus, not to the main list (something like SHIFT-CTRL-LEFT should lead to the main list).

    And I will definitely "spam" you with the suggestions for new features :)

    Hello Milos Rancic,

    Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, it was requested before but I could not implement a quick fix that time.

    I've added this request to our uservoice forum, please vote to watch for update: checkvist.uservoice.com - Shift+Left should unfocus to the previously focused level

    Before spamming, consider checking https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121 first - probably the request is there already and you can comment on it :)

    Thanks!

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? :)
