"gg" description says "opens external links in a new window, Checkvist links in the current window".

"gg" description says "opens external links in a new window, Checkvist links in the current window". However, when I do "gg" from a global search, the focused list opens in a new tab. Maybe I'm using a wrong command? Is there another way to navigate to a list from global search?

    For due and search pages 'gg' behaviour was requested to be different: plus.google.com - gg does not open item in new tab? From https://checkvist.com/checklists#due...

    You can always close the newly opened tab and get back to the search results with Ctrl+W shortcut (or its equivalent on Mac)

    This behavior leads to proliferation of tabs. I'd like to jump around using global search while staying in a single tab. This would allow going back using tab history as well. Kirill Maximov , could you add an option to "Search options" (or introduce a different shortcut) to jump to search result in the same tab. Or perhaps even revert that fix, since there is [Shift gg] available for opening in a new tab. Thank you. I can enter this in Uservoice if that helps.

    Hello R A, could you describe your flow a bit?

    I usually open tab with 'gg' and if it is not what I want I immediately close it with browser shortcut for tab closing (Cmd+W for me, on a Mac). No proliferation in this case.

    Regards,

    I use Checkvist as a sort of personal knowledge base, and I tend to move where I need to using global search, rather than hierarchical drill down. I jump to the spot, make some additions, then want to come back to where I was or jump elsewhere. Of course, I can keep one "base" tab and keep closing the other ones (know the shortcut too), but it's just not intuitive, and there is no history trail that I would be able to move back and forth in, if it was all in the same tab.

    FYI, I'm able to keep everything in the same tab by setting "browser.link.open_newwindow" to 1 (Firefox). But that keeps external links in the same tab as well, which I'd rather avoid. Also noticed that after the jump, there are 3 new entries in the tab history instead of 1, so I have to hit "back" 3 times to return to search results.

    Hello, please enter your request to the Uservoice, as I don't think we'll implement it very soon. Don't want to introduce a specific option for that, and need more idea for a better solution.

    Thank you,

    What about the 3 entries in tab history instead of one? Is that a separate issue or related? I feel it's a separate issue, but it's not very relevant on it's own, as "gg" from global search opens a new tab anyways, so there is nowhere to go back to. However, if "gg" were to navigate in the same tab (which I achieved using "browser.link.open_newwindow" preference), those additional history entries are a nuisance. To reproduce: do a global search, "gg" to jump to any result - the newly opened tab will have 3 history entries (they all result in the same view, although the URLs are different). Should I add this to Uservoice as a separate issue?

    3 entries is a separate issue. Could you please check how it works now on beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Keyboard-centric outliner and task manager (same login/password) - I think I've fixed this issue there.

    Thank you,

    Kirill Maximov History issue is fixed, on the main site as well. Thanks.

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
