 The advantage is it takes you straight into edit mode, rather than having
 to view and then tap edit.

 Hope that's helpful, if you didn't already know about the tap-and-hold
 menu.

[Domas]

Yes, that definitely is!
I'll take this also as a reminder to go through all the app options again :)
Thank you!

 In MLO I'm using *Start Date* to indicate that task should be started

 To delay the MLO task:

1. slide to the left to see the options
2. click anywhere to start edit mode
3. click Start Date to start dates editing mode
4. click Start Date to display calendar
5. select the date (very inconvenient, no possibility to have

6. click Ok

8. click Done
9. click Back

 Amazing. If I would like to select the time, it's even more clicks.
 This completely undermines the use of this functionality within the app.

Re: [MLO] Re: Is there any way to set up a hotkey to change the Importance of a task?

[MOK | MATSURU]

Dear Domas,

  In MLO android, Settings>General Settings>Quick Date selections

Change due date → start date

If you frequently set bort start & due date, then choose "Do Not Open any
date"

Hope this is helpful :-)

[SOLVEALLPROBLEMS]

that is a ton of steps...

what's exactly are the main benefits or good points of doing that exactly?

Re: [MLO] Re: Is there any way to set up a hotkey to change the Importance of a task?

[John . Smith]

Using Contexts to manage my real-world importance of my tasks is messy, as 
it will cluttering up my Contexts. 

However your suggestion also raises a deeper problem with MLO. The thing is 
that I am already using a large number of views - one for each real-work 
"context".
And now it sounds like you are saying I need say ten versions of each 
context view!? Total nightmare!

OK so maybe I should revert to creating my own views manually "on the fly" 
by leaving the Properties open (on the left of the screen) and only having 
say 2 or 3 views. 

Worth a try I suppose. Is this what you do? Manage importance to you the 
user by using Contexts?

Either way, the inability to use the Importance field for my real-world 
importance feels like another (annoying)  "workaround" that MLO is forcing 
upon us.  [G]

Re: [MLO] Re: Is there any way to set up a hotkey to change the Importance of a task?

[MOK | MATSURU]

My take on this is to use Context + shortcut key.

Create any level of context u need (100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10...etc)

Assign each context using the NUM (ctrl+1 for "10", ctrl+2 for"20"...ctrl+0
for "100")

Then, create VIEWS for all the different CONTEXT and assign shortcut to
them (Alt+1 to show task with "10" importance...etc)

After all is set, you can prioritize task and navigate using shortcuts.
hope this is helpful.
