You could use input parsing and write your task AND the context at the same time.
For example: Remember to watch Ramzpaul video @HomeComputer or Remember to watch Ramzpaul video context HomeComputer and then clicking Alt+Enter will create a new task with the appropiate context. >From the Help Notes: Context If you add reserved words "context" or "@" to the phrase the contexts will be added to the task. The contexts should be separated by semicolons (;) The pattern: <What?> [<When?>] [remind[er]] [<When?>] [context | @] <context1>;<context2> ; <context3> Examples: Call Jim tomorrow context @office; @calls Send report in 3 days remind tomorrow 10:00 @ ProjectX Tip: If the context starts with "@" you can skip the reserved words. In this case the first word which starts with "@" is interpreted as a context. Example: Call Jim tomorrow @office; @calls Tip: you can use the +@ switch to add contexts to the task (not replace them). Example: “Call Bob +@ phone” or "Buy ticket +@internet" On Wednesday, September 19, 2012 3:06:27 PM UTC+1, carshow2 wrote: > > This is a small and strange bug, but I figured you might want to know: > > I often use hotkeys when entering new tasks.
