Moving an task between lists click-free?

gbpeter says:

Hi all,


is there a way to move a task to a different list without going to the dropdown and selecting move to... from "more actions"?

This is something that I do quite often (esp when cleaning up my inbox), and I don't understand why there is no keyboard shortcut for that.
-- or maybe I'm just too dumb to figure. Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Ben

Hi gbpeter,
You're right; there's currently no shortcut for this.

One thing to keep in mind, in case it helps: you can use Smart Add to put tasks in a particular list when you create them. And you can change your default list (for things like sending tasks via Twitter or via email).

Hi andrewski,

thanks for the reply. I know of Smart Add, yes. But this allows me none of
- adding new lists
- moving existing tasks between lists

Guess I'll have a go at userscripts.org or create my own ;-)
Shouldn't be too hard to do

Cheers,
Ben

If you do not use lists, but instead use smartlists, you can add attributes to them in the inbox that whisk them to where you want them, all from the keyboard. If you like an empty inbox, then move all of your tagged tasks from inbox to a holding list when you are done tagging them.

I have one list where I keep everything, and then use smartlists and tags, and it works out very well in terms of the issues you raise.

ranbarton,
That's a good idea. There may be good reason for gbpeter to use lists, but Smart Lists can serve very similar purposes and are very flexible.

As I've mentioned previously, I have only created two lists—one for me, one for things my wife and I share. If I didn't intend to keep my Inbox empty, I could even get by without the list for me. :)
