Some things I miss from Checkvist when working in the browser on an iPad (without keyboard):

1. The task menu (actions, aa) has no lc and "more" (which includes ex, for example).
2. I cannot invalidate a task (shift-space), or delete it.
3. For marking done/open, the swipe has to be carried out on the text of the task. For short entries (short word or even just a letter), this can be hard to do. These are exceptions, but why not allow swiping the whole task row?

    Hello Ralf Hauber,

    Thanks a lot for the notes, please find my comments below:

    1. We've added more actions and 'lc' to the 'aa' menu, please check beta.checkvist.com - Checkvist: Keyboard-centric outliner and task manager
    2. You can do it if you show 'hints sidebar', the shortcuts in the sidebar are clickable. Maybe not very convenient but should do the job. Use keyboard icon in the topbar to toggle hints.
    3. Need to investigate this a bit more, as we setup the handler on the whole line but it is triggered only when the text is touched. But, you can also close/reopen from a sidebar help - would it help?

    Kind regards,

    Kirill Maximov Thanks for the quick response—including coding on beta.

    1. 'lc' is now available, it triggers visual feedback on iPad but doesn't copy anything to the clipboard. Side note: For the sake of consistency of the 'aa' menu, maybe the three options for adding items should be the same on all platforms (add below, add above, add sub-item).
    2. It does the job. Seems I forgot about the 'hints sidebar' a long time ago.
    3. Functionally, it helps. However, swiping completed tasks is more satisfying. :)

    Hello,

    Now the changes are on the production, though I have not fixed 'lc' on iOS yet. Will have to apply trick from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34045777/copy-to-clipboard-using-javascript-in-ios

    As for swipe, looks like it was a deliberate decision to avoid accidental closing/reopening of tasks. Should be tweaked to be more robust.

    And the last but not least - we've just started a dedicated forum for Checkvist Friends at https://discuss.checkvist.com. G+ is going to be closed, I'm going to write an announcement about it soon.

    Thanks a lot for the comments!

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? :)
