Interesting - thanks Dwight. So if I create a task called "Soon", I can make tasks dependent on it as follows:
- select the task(s) in question - hit Alt-6 a couple of times to get the Dependencies window up - click on "Add" *with the mouse* ==> A popup window then appears. What's boring is that I now need to go and find my task "Soon". The quickest way to get this seems to be to: - type "SOON" - hit down arrow twice (if Soon is at the top) And I can get to see everything that is of action status of "Soon" by - Right-clicking on "Soon" - "T" for "Tasks that depend on this task" And this creates a new workarea/tab called "Dep: Soon" That's definitely getting there. :) But are there any ways that I can do the above but without using my mouse? e.g. How can I open the Add a dependency popup using the keyboard? e.g. Is there any way to fire up the Right-click popup using the keyboard?
