Unfortunately there's a bug introduced in the latest version. Previously, editing an entry (using ee) was highlight just text portion of the entry, not everything (including the tags and the due parts) as it does now.

Hi, Now that the sharing feature is finally out, could you please consider spending some time on the search? It's not very useful how it works right now, I think it should instead go from left to right, for example "^now #mit color:1" should go through the tree and first pick all the items due now, then amongst those if found pick the ones with label #mit, and finally amongst those the ones with color:1. Instead it does something else (not sure what exactly) and I have to constantly work around it using a bunch of labels.

Looks like there was an update overnight, all the times are wrong, e.g., set an item to "today" (using "td") and it shows "tomorrow", and "tm" shows a day later instead of saying "'tomorrow". Could you please fix ASAP? Kirill Maximov

I saw that in your post under "What’s next?" you're mentioning "new UI" - if you are working on that could you please keep in mind being able to apply a custom mobile CSS for pro users? We currently have one for desktop but it would be great to have one for mobile so I that I can change the item colors to match my desktop.

Would it be possible to show the next due date right away when I use "cd" against a repeating task? It would be a lot more useful to see the next due date right away instead of that recycle icon, as it does currently.

Hi, I found a bug? with the Sort (ss) function: If you have a mix of items starting with "[link: " it will order as if they were starting with a "L" - e.g. sorting the following 3 items alphabetically results in this order: ABC GHI [link:DEF| http://example.com ] But I expected this instead: ABC [link:DEF| http://example.com ] GHI i.e., ignore the "[link: bit" and only use the text I can read.

In the new beta there's a bug, in the search you can type "^tod" then enter and it would complete to "^today" and start the search. Now it just adds a space instead :(

Hi, Was there an update to the CSS in the current beta? See screenshot, beta is on the left and life on the right. No big deal, I just wanted to check - I'll update my CSS when the beta is released I suppose.

Hi Kiril, I've been playing with tags to try to find a workaround to the problems of priorities not behaving like a proper AND search term and matching in this unhelpful hierarchical way. So far it seems that the tags match in a useful manner, i.e., a proper AND that can be combined with the due dates within a search which is great. Now... my problem is that I use several tags (including the new time tags) for each items, but it doesn't seem to be possible to remove a tag from several items at once - you have to go through each, which is painful. Sure, you "ct" works over several items - but that kills all tags - not what I want! Would it be possible (and faster than changing the search engine, IIRC you said multiple times that wouldn't happen anytime soon) to add a new "dt" command that would simply remove a given tag (or tags) from the highlighted items? For example, say you have those 3 items selected: - Do the dishes #MIT #now #15m - Post to CV frie...

Hi, Is there a way to update every task that's overdue (in the current list - or in the due page) to today? This is my use case: I rarely get to tick off every task set to "today" on a daily basis, so the first thing I do every day is select all the overdue tasks (which takes a while, because I can't use select all from the ^overdue search as it also selects the branches that are not themselves overdue) and I set them all to today. Once I have done that, I then search for ^today, which includes the previously overdue tasks (now reset to toda) AND the tasks I had previously set to do today's date in the past so that I can re-assess my priorities. Come to think of it, if select all would select only the items matching the search (and not the branches - which I want to see but not match) that would fix my problem - is that possible? The closest uservoice idea to this I've seen is but it has only 5 votes :( https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/sugg...

Ctrl + Up/Dn doesn't seem to work for notes, is there another way to re-order notes for an item?

May I suggest that Ctrl+A only selects the items matched by the filter, currently it selects everything which doesn't make it as useful as it could be. I would be happy with another shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+A or Ctrl+Shift+A) if that bothers too many people. My (current) use case: Search for ^overdue, Ctrl+A, remove the "branches", swear a few times because I get it wrong, type "td".

It would be great to have a shortcut (I suggest "rf") to refresh a filter. My daily review workflow is to search for ^today, postpone some tasks to tomorrow or later in the week, and when I'm done I would like to be able to type "rf" to refresh the filter quickly to see what I've got left. My current workaround is to go back to the filter, add a character, wait a bit, and then remove it - but it's not as convenient as a quick shortcut.

Hi, Seems that search for "color:1 ^today" gives the same results as "^today" (i.e., the color:1 is ignored) but "color:2 ^today" (or any other colors/priorities except 1) work as expected. Happens on both beta and default website.

Hi, Before I add an idea I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss an option, or a workaround: I search for ^today or ^tomorrow or ^asap all the time, but unfortunately almost always I don't want the matching branches to expand. Example, I'd like a search for ^today to return only a collapsed "Things To Do" instead of this: Things To Do ^today one two three Is that possible?

I saw this in the docs: If you have a Pro account, click the little square to the left of the tag name on the Tag map or invoke the Tags menu with the tt shortcut on the selected list item to change tag color, name, make it private, or merge several tags. Is it also meant to work with the pro trial? The little square doesn't show up for me, using Chrome.
