It would be very handy to have a single operation to move an item to another list, and then replace the item with a link to that new location. Something like 'extract to existing list' as opposed to the current 'extract as an new list'

My use case: I make a distinction between lists which contain mostly action/todo items (in which every item is a candidate for completion), and which are largely for reference/record. Sometimes I move at item from the former type of list to the latter, but want a link left behind.

It's quite likely this is far too niche a feature to be worth implementing, but "if you don't ask you don't get" ;)

    Hello, this is a good idea. Possibly, this could be an option in the 'mm' dialog, and in fact, such an option would make 'xx' command redundant.

    All of this close to the dynamic sublists -- https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-checkvist-web/suggestions/86089-embed-existing-lists-sublists-not-just-hyperlinks, but I need some noticeable time to implement it, though it is quite doable.

    Your request is definitely more simple to implement, I'll add it to our 'snacks' list but won't give any promises. We have some stuff to fix in the Checkvist Mobile now.

    Thanks again,

    Cool -- very pleased with so many recent 'snacks', so can hardly complain if we don't get everything we might ideally like immediately.

    Yes, this could a good and relatively way to maintain duplicates of an item. If Ctrl-D or an alternate made a copy and also created links of the two items to each other, we could move one of them to another list or another place in the same list but keep the connection.

    Charles Heckscher Are you talking about checkvist.uservoice.com - Embed existing lists/sublists, not just hyperlinks (similar to symlinks). Was: checklist of checklists ?

    Kirill Maximov The symlinks approach would be ideal, but my suggestion may be a simpler one -- just mutual links between two items, without simultaneous updating.

    Thanks Charles Heckscher , now I see. Mutual links require work on the similar infrastructure under the hood as the real symlinks, so probably we'll try to implement them.
    Best,

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

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? :)

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
