[MLO] Re: Keyboard-only Q: How do I give focus to the next task on my list, after the current task disappears?

[John . Smith]

It will require a bit of concentration, but yes that works. Thank you. 

I still think that MLO should give focus to the next task on your list more 
easily, though.
In fact, I can't see why it doesn't just give focus to the next task on the 
current view automatically. 

Would that be useful to anyone else?

Alt-left arrow will take you back to the previously selected task.

If you have a task selected that's going to disppear from the view,  you 
could hit down-arrow then up-arrow before you change the date.
After you change the date and the task disappears, Alt-left will take you 
back to the previous task (the one you initially down-arrowed to).

[MLO] Re: Keyboard-only Q: How do I give focus to the next task on my list, after the current task disappears?

[John . Smith]

Hello 

This issue is EXTREMELY frustrating.

If you are using an Active tasks view, is there really no good way to move 
to the *next* task on your list, after you have moved your task's Start 
Date?

Background:
I more or less live in an Active tasks view, and I use Start Date a LOT to 
move tasks off my list.

e.g. Alt+S, 3, D, Enter 

... would move a task off my Active tasks view for 3 days. But how do I get 
back to the next task?

Cheers

J

Nope, no touchscreen on my main PC, just on my laptop.

 Hello

 When you are in an Active view, after you have just made a task no 
 longer Active, without using my mouse, how do you get focus on to the next 
 task in your list?

 Background
 When looking at an "Active tasks" view, I am in the habit of "kicking 
 tasks into the future" using just the keyboard. For example I might move 
 the Start Date 3 days into the future by doing Alt/S 3 D.  This works well.

 My problem is that when I do this, the current task (quite correctly) 
 disappears from current view and this means that no task on the current 
 view is selected.  Whereas my workflow is that I am working my way down my 
 list of tasks, and so what I want to happen is to go to the NEXT task in 
 my 
 list. 

 Is there any way to go to the *next* task in my list just by using my 
 keyboard?

 Cheers

 J

[MOK | MATSURU]

is your screen a touch screen? if so, touch with your finger is faster than
a mouse.

[MLO] Re: Keyboard-only Q: How do I give focus to the next task on my list, after the current task disappears?

[John . Smith]

No. I instead of taking you to the task in your current viewt, it puts you 
to the very top task of the entire view! That does not help me work through 
my list from the current position.

So far the best I can do is 
1. Use my mouse to carefully left-click on the task that is about to 
disappear.
2. Without moving the mouse, use the keyboard to change the Start Date  
(e.g. Alt+S, 3 D [Enter]  )
==> The task now disappears from the view
==> The next task should come up the page into its place
3. Without moving the mouse, left-click again 

This works but it's fiddly and requires concentration. And it slows one 
down because anything to do with using the mouse slows one down.  Plus too 
much mouse use gives me RSI.
