Hello!

Hello! I'm new to Checkvist. Coming over from Workflowy and loving what I'm seeing so far but I have a question. I love how you can toggle the list style per project, but is there a way to toggle it per node? For example, one sublist in my project is not tasks, but the rest are. I would love to be able to select that node and set the list style independently from the project.

Maybe there is a way to do this already? If not, does anyone else see value in this?

Thanks!

    Yes, easily done in Checkvist

    Can’t remember all of the formats but if you start a single node with “[1]” all of the child nodes will be numbered overriding root list style

    Mark Dickens That's great and thanks, but I don't see an option to change it to "none". Yeah, I guess I could turn the whole list to none, but then I would have to go to the other 10+ nodes and manually set them to checkboxes. Instead, I'd rather set the whole list to checkboxes and specify that one node as none. Hmm. I wonder if the developer has the option in there for none? I don't see it in the docs as I assume they think you wouldn't have brackets if you didn't want anything.

    Well spotted, don’t think there is an in-app option to do this yet

    Hi Jacob Graf, welcome and thanks for writing about the issue.

    There is no way to disable checkboxes markup if it is enabled for the whole list, you're right. In your situation, I'd use [*] to override checkboxes with simple bullets.

    Not ideal, but probably good enough solution?

    Best,

    Kirill Maximov got ya. I ended up changing the list to none and enabling my individual sub lists. 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? :)
