Hi Dwight I spoke too soon. I cant get this to work.
>>> 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 >>> When I get to #4, and hit the Context Key (i.e. FN+"Print Screen" in my case) I get the same effect as hitting mouse Right-Click on the task itself. If I then hit A it attempts to show "tasks that link to this task" rather than Add dependency. Any thoughts? Cheers J On Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 3:23:20 PM UTC+1, John .
