Hi Dwight
Yes in general I find using a keyboard about 10+ times faster than using a
mouse. Worse mouse use tends to give me RSI injuries. All-in-all the
ability to configure keyboard shortcuts for almost everything (except
Adding dependencies that is!) is one of the best aspects of MLO.
Hey John. My impression is that you are very strongly focused on your
keyboard, using it for all of your communication with your computer, to
the exclusion of mice, touchscreens, joysticks, styluses, etc. Someone
as reliant on the keyboard as you deserves a fully functional 86-key
keyboard, so
Hi Dwight
Annoyingly I just lost an in depth reply!
Suffice-it to say that if I hit Alt-F6 a few times and leave the Dependency
section open and if I then hit tab Once, then focus (blue background) goes
to the Delay field. Hitting tab focus is invisible (in theory on Add?) and
hitting tab
On a page like MLO/W, repeatedly pressing [tab] will continuously go to
the next defined tabstop until it reaches the last one, then the first
one and so on. Repeatedly pressing [shift][tab] will travel around this
same cycle in the reverse direction. The number of stops in the cycle
depends
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
I shall need to practice but that's great, thanks Dwight.
It turns out that the Context Menu key on my (Logitech MK700) Windows
keyboard is Function key + Printscreen. Weird - who would have thought? And
not the easiest thing to reach. [Why do they make this so hard??]
Sadly Shift+F10 doesn't
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
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
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
PS Now my problem is how can I set a task to be dependent on another task
using keyboard shortcuts/hotkeys?
Alt+6 seems to toggle open the Dependencies area on the right of the
screen, but that's all I can find!

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
