Would be happy defining a keyboard shortcut to always move to one set list, too. (I use my Inbox to brain dump and then move all tasks into my . list.) Thanks, RTM'ers!

In firefox, I was able to do something similar using the script below and autohotkey:

WinWait, Remember The Milk - William's Tasks - Mozilla Firefox,
IfWinNotActive, Remember The Milk - William's Tasks - Mozilla Firefox, , WinActivate, Remember The Milk - William's Tasks - Mozilla Firefox,
WinWaitActive, Remember The Milk - William's Tasks - Mozilla Firefox,
MouseClick, left, 92, 385
Sleep, 100
Send, 'over{SHIFTDOWN}{TAB 4}{SHIFTUP}{DOWN 20}{UP}

If you use the A Bit Better RTM Greasemonkey script, you can do this. Just a bit of javascript. I suppose you could use the script, and edit out everything about the layout changes to just get the keyboard shortcuts. Or maybe the developer of that script could release it as it's own standalone script.

But having the shortcuts integrated into the actual site would be great too.

there is a grease monkey script that takes this from a bit better RTM but it has yet to be updated to include ctrl a. Note both lack google search style filtering/suggestions base on most used

Considering you can use keyboard shortcuts to do so much I can't believe that this isn't already built in. Currently it is such a hassle to put a task in a list, this would be a huge time saver.

Very much needed, but smart add does help, now we just need a smart add box to float on our desktops for quick entry. It has to be a "smart" smart add box that populates as you type, like in the full RTM site, not a gadget that just reads the tags.

Posted 2 years ago

Yup, would really like this feature too!

OR, a drag and drop ala some of the recent changes in Gmail for labels... but actually a shortcut key would be fine.

I would also love a keyboard shortcut to move tasks to a different list. I often dump tasks into my inbox, then come back and organize them later. I use tagging, but I also use lists. I would love to be able to quickly move tasks from my inbox to various lists without having to click the drop down menu. Thanks!

I am using keyboard shortcuts for 10 minutes now, but am already desperate to get this shortcuts. Something like 'm' for move and then type the beginning of the list.

Now i'm thinking about changing lists for tags... (works also in Astrid)

A good implementation would be to just have the "." character drop down the more actions menu, just like in gmail.

This is a serious hot button. You really need to consider implementing something like this. It's impossible to quickly dispatch items in the Inbox without this feature.

maybe this solution is easier to implement:
you could make three lists configurable as the "top lists" to which tasks can be added by e.g. Ctrl + 1/2/3.

+1. The Greasemonkey script looks promising (thanks, funkeye!) but it won't work with Safari (obviously), so built-in functionality would be awesome!

I'm trying to start working with RTM with GTD in mind ( as described in http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008/05/guest-post-advanced-gtd-with-remember-the-milk/ ). And according to GTD *everything* that goes into the system will go into the Inbox first. Then will be processed and distributed among other lists.

So in my case the fast and convenient way of moving tasks between lists is a very needed feature.

Please, can this feature implemented? It is probably the most used action by me, and there is no keyboardshortcut for it...

Please develop this, it would be the most used hotkey out there aside from up and down

just one more please...

I don't understand why this keeps coming up as users have asked for it again and again.

The biggest reason I like RTM is the keyboard shortcuts. You can do just about everything else with the keyboard so this just seems like a glaring omission.

Hi everybody,
"A Bit better RTM" for Firefox will do the job (turn off the task count as it slows down the whole computer)
Regards,
Dominic

I only need to move items from the Inbox to my Task list, but this AutoHotkey does the trick. More specifically upon Ctrl-m it moves the selected tasks to the item listed second under "Move to...", and only works in Firefox.

^m::
send ^k
sleep 300
send {TAB 27}
sleep 300
send {DOWN 12}
sleep 300
send {Enter}
return

Hope this helps!

Looked in the list of shortcuts and couldn't believe this wasn't in there. Hard to use the keyboard for task management with this one missing...

Oh man, this is BY FAR the biggest problem in using the mobile app. I often record TODO items on my Android, but then have to organize them next time I'm at a keyboard (they all go to Inbox by default). Moving items around without keyboard shortcuts sucks.

The fact that people have figured out alternative (and complex for non-programmers) ways to get around this problem is a sign that a solution is well overdue. (Another sign is that this request thread is 2 years old.) The simplest solution is to replicate how the tag shortcut works.
