Quick reply: 1) Maybe we'd need an option to choose whether to make parsing the norm, though - Personally, I struggle with parsing and often find myself having to correct errors in how it's interpreted my entries). 2) One other option, for when you're in quick task entry mode - Have you experimented with writing a list and then copying and "paste text as subtasks" (Either right click and it's in the "advanced" sub-menu, or try Ctrl+Shift+V)? That might be no good for you - I don't think you can parse much - or I guess you may find it helpful. 3) I don't know. I just got used to Ins, but I can see the problem with your keyboard layout. Perhaps something like Ctrl+Enter?
