In this release, we have reworked one of the oldest Checkvist features - list navigation.
How do you switch to another list? Press ll and find a list you need. Now you can switch between list items - with the same ease.
Navigate from anywhere to anywhere
The new list navigation, which is now called Lists and locations, is a part of the Shift-Shift window.
Now, this window has two tabs. When you use the ll shortcut, the window opens on the Lists and locations. The Commands tab gets activated with the aa shortcut. And when you press Shift-Shift, the last used tab is opened.
You can quickly change the search context with Tab inside the window, so it is not very important which shortcut to use 🙂
The rest is mechanical memory.
Enter to navigate or execute a command.
Filter through all lists - on the fly
Just like with interlinking, lists and list items get searched as you type.
The results are divided into Lists, This list, and Other lists. Breadcrumbs give you necessary information about the list item place and hierarchy.
In this release, the "Lists and Locations" search supports only text search and tags, but we plan to add search attributes with the next releases.
Copy, Cut or Copy with URL
Navigation is not the only thing you might do when searching. What if you need to send someone a link to a specific list item? Or move an item to another list? Or copy the information from that list item?
Now you can do all this right from the "Lists and locations" window.
Ctrl-c copies the text of the selected list item.
Ctrl-x cuts the selected list item from its original place. Find where you want to paste and press Ctrl-v. If the list item had children, you'll move to a new place the whole branch.
Ctrl-Shift-c is an addition to the copy-paste family: it copies both list item text and URL.
Move list items between the lists
Sometimes you need to move a part of one list to another. Of course, you can Ctrl-x a list item and then Ctrl-v it to a new place. An easier way is to do it with the Move command, mm.
Now it works on the same principle as the Lists and locations:
Set selection to a list item or a branch you want to move
Press mm or type Move into the Command palette,
Type to find a list or a list item
Like with Lists and locations, you can create a new list and move the selected items there in one go.
Many thanks to @Charles Heckscher for a timely request!
Reverse sorting An enhancement for the ss Sort window. Check the Reverse order checkbox, and change the sorting order.
Fixed broken Undo in Firefox when editing a list item on a due page.
Smart syntax for searching due tasks: due: last week and due: last month.
After creating a list with a specified name, Checkvist immediately offers to add new list items, no extra Enter is needed.
Quick Add now works from the Due page in Checkvist mobile.
A couple of fixes in the Checkvist bookmarklet for recognising Jira and GitHub links.
So far no deviations from the Manifesto we posted at the beginning of 2022. We are working on a more unified and enhanced search and making UI more flexible and easy to use.
