First, let me correct an error in what I said before. The result of
hitting "tasks dependent on this" is not a popup, it's a genuine view.
In other words, you could create a tab called "soon", load the All Tasks
view into the tab, find the SOON task, right click it and select "tasks
dependent on this". The result would be that the Soon tab contains a
view that will always show you tasks dependent on the Soon task.
In other news
To create this tab without using the mouse,
1. Be sure that you are using what's called a Windows keyboard, which
has a key with the four-paned Windows logo (called the Windows key) and
another key with what looks like a cursor pointing to a menu (called the
Menu key)
2. select a task such as the soon task, by arrowing up and down or any
other method. Verify that the task is highlighted and that its details
are in the task details sidebar on the right.
3. hit the Menu key on the keyboard to bring up the menu
4. type a "t" to select the "tasks that depend on this" menu option
To make a task dependent on the Soon task without using the mouse
1. Make sure you have a Windows keyboard (as above)
2. select that task that you want to see become dependent
3. hit alt/6 a few times and see the Dependencies section on the right
opening and closing. Stop hitting Alt/6 while the dependencies section
is open
4. Without hitting any other keys, hit the menu key to bring up a menu
5. Type "a" to select Add Dependency and bring up a popup task selection
window
6. Using your favorite navigation method find the desired trigger task
such as Soon and select/highlight it
7. hit Enter to create a dependency on the selected task

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?
Cheers

You may find it useful to use hasIncompleteDependency to see the
tasks that are still inactive due to dependency.
Also there is a command on mlo/win. I think you right click the rask
on which others are dependent (the target task) and look for a menu
item along the lines of "tasks dependent on this". The result is a
pop-up list of dependent tasks. Because it's a popup and not a view
you cannot complete or modify the tasks right there.

Wait, I may have solved my own question.
Although I still cant work out how to show all tasks which are
dependent a particular other task, if I create an Advanced filter
with a value of HasDependancy is True, this seems to work in that
it shows all tasks that are dependent on at least one other task.
In my defence I previously attempted to create exactly that view,
but for some reason it wasn't working!

Hi
Is there any way to create a view that shows (just) all tasks
which are dependent on something?
Or better yet show all tasks which are dependent on a specific
task?
Background
I am trying create a list of tasks that are in effect in an
action status of "Later/Soon".
i.e. I want such tasks to disappear off the "Active/Do ASAP" view.
I am already using "Hide the branch in To-do" for my
"Someday/Maybe" list which is huge and I want another place to
temporarily park tasks.
I do not want to use time to move them back as this would
interfere with my other lists (e.g. Waiting and Sheduled)
Cheers
