Hi @mank319,

Great software. Thank you very much!

I have one suggestion:

What do you all think about adding both a previous and next task button to the timer tab?

This would allow the user to more easily switch among tasks (instead of having to go back to the To-Do tab and select a different task).

Thanks ahead for your response!

Robert

It's an interesting thought @orschiro :wink:

I am no quite sure though, if I'd like to display them by default, as I feel as if it might make the bottom panel a bit too bulky. I could also imagine iconographic :arrow_backward: and :arrow_forward: buttons to the sides of the task description. An even more minimalist alternative would be simple keyboard shortcuts (e.g. "b" and "n").

I'd personally barely use it, because marking a task as Done automatically selects the next task, and I arrange my tasks in the desired order prior to working. But that's just my opinion - there is more than one way to use an application and I could imagine that others find your idea useful!

Great idea! Especially in combination with the keyboard shortcuts! Curious to hear what the others think.
