Lisa, it was exactly the same for me ... I've read about AHK in this forum, I downloaded the zip file and I tossed it back and
Due This Week Due Next Week Due This Weekend and so on. There's a shortcut called SnippetToTask that lets you mark for instance text on a webpage and by only one hotkey it generates a new task having the marked text within the notes field. And so on and so on. I as well have defined some major areas of focus (business, private, etc.). By just clicking one key AHK collapses my whole tree, jumps on the selected "area of focus", and zooms in. By doing that I'm jumping even visually from business to private (for example). Jon Rumens even defined a right click menu. You left-click on a task followed by a right click. Then a sub menu appears that you can easily customize. I for instance have "the different" project status and goals listed there. Left-click, right-click and one selection -> changed project status, or changed goal. And there's a lot more. Jon Rumens really did an amazing job. Eberhard On Wed, Feb 8, 2012 at 5:27 PM, Lisa Stroyan <[email protected]> wrote: > Very cool!! I'll have to look that up when I get a chance.
