Hi Dwight
Short reply: Alt-C to jump to Properties > General > Contexts There, type enough of the text string to filter the list Enter will select the top one in the filtered list ‘ho’ will suffice to choose ‘”3Home’ as a context It filters to show ‘@ Shop’ too, but ‘@ S’ sorts lower Alt-C seems to jump you there from anywhere else Longer reply, as background: My Contexts list (F8) includes " DOMESTIC======== "1Self "2Desk "3Home "4Garage "5Garden All begin with “ so ‘things to do domestically’ are grouped The numbering forces them to sort logically rather than A-Z This helps on Android, which is scroll-tap, rather than key-type But on desktop, ‘ho’ suffices, no need to remember the ‘”3’ bit I have other groups of contexts, such as ! DIRECTION======== " DOMESTIC======== # PEOPLE========= & TECH=========== @ LOCATIONS======= The caps and ===== makes the groupings more visible in Android These special characters sort the same on Windows and Android I know your system is already mature, but this may help others Regards Wol From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dwight Arthur Sent: 18 June 2022 04:54 To: MyLifeOrganized <[email protected]> Subject: [MLO] contexts by keyboard Filling in task details in the Properties (right) sidebar under Windows 10, I tab into yje Context box and start typing. I type "#co" and notice a little popup box with two entries, "#computer" and "#cooking". I want the computer entry, so I type an "m" and the "cooking" entry vanishes. Now, my task is to inform MLO that the context displayed in the little box is the one that I want and should be recorded as the chosen context. I could do it by typing "puter", or by picking up the mouse, mousing over to the context and clicking it. But either of those options is too much work - there must be a way to do what I want with just a few taps. I've tried all the combinations of Space, Tab and Enter, alone or combined with Shift Alt or CTRL - none of them seemed to have any effect. Any suggestions? - Dwight -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
