[request] add a keyboard shortcut for editing bundled tasks
Please consider adding a keyboard shortcut for the "complete together" with the edit button (or edit operations triggered by existing shortcut keys.)
At the moment, when using the mult-task layout, after a user selects multiple tasks, there's still a need to press the "complete together" button, and then click the edit button.
Perhaps the task selection/bundling operation can be considered as sufficient to determine user's intent to edit them together?
Your suggestion to treat completion of the lasso as sufficient intent to perform the action of combining tasks sounds good to me.
The button could stay but just function as a 'cancel' button when multiple tasks are selected?
:grimacing: That's true, too.
Yes, but that 'X' is kind of hard to find and not as obvious.
@govvin to clarify the original request: do we still want to do a keyboard shortcut specifically to trigger the "complete together" command (enter "bundled task" mode as it were)? Thinking about it, it does make sense to have an explicit action for entering bundled task mode.
So the proposal would then be
- When and only when the multi-task widget is enabled (visible), a shortcut key (which?) would mimic the action that is triggered by clicking the "Complete Together" button.
- When the widget is not enabled, that same key does nothing.
Does that satisfy what you are after?
@mvexel , are you also planning to change the behavior, which you described here?
When a user selects several task, and they click on the edit button (or the shortcut key) , it will trigger editing for said tasks. If that's the case, wouldn't that obviate the need for the shortcut key for the "complete together" action? And users can still keep using the same edit button (and same shortcut key).
