Hi all!

Hi all! I'm a new user, but I'm already loving Checkvist. I would like to ask a question though about a function I can't seem to get working. When I do a search in a list, eg. for one of the tags, the search results don't only show the actual elements that have that tag, but also their parents. In the help I read: "On Due and Search pages Checkvist shows list items without parents. ... To toggle context on and off, press sc ('show context') or select the Show context in the View options menu in the toolbar." Now, my problem is that I see this setting on the Due page, but I can't find a way to hide context, parent tasks in the general search results. Am I missing something? Thanks!

    Hello Attila Nyári, general search results in the documentation refers to the cross-list search, which is shown when you press Enter twice in the search string.

    When you filter the single list, there is no way to hide parent items when the match is in the sub-tasks.

    I'm not sure why would you need to hide parent items in this case. What may be interesting for you is an ability to focus on a particular branch with Shift+Right keyboard shortcut.

    Best,

    Thanks for your reply Kirill Maximov. Your response was very helpful, I got what I needed in the cross-list search.

    I have a list, where I tried to gather everything for an organization I'm leading. I set up different categories with tags - there are focus areas, projects and todo items in there. So I asked my question because I wanted to have a view, where I could only review all my focus areas without seeing all their parent categories - it's a simple list I needed. I hope it makes sense.

    Aha, I see. You may also consider using different lists for different projects + use ^ASAP due date for the focus areas. In this case, you may see your focus areas on the Due screen under ASAP section.

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? :)
