Hi Stéphane, Thank you for your help. The suggestions you wrote work, but my issue is that I wanted to be able to move tasks from the inbox to the root of the outline by keyboard using CTRL+M. I thought that function was broken, but now I realize it doesn't exist. In the android app there is a function to move a task to the <root top> or <root bottom> and I thought there was similar functionality in the windows app using CTRL+M.
