A few more shortcut keys for speed

In the interests of speed and precision it'd be really nice to have a few more shortcut keys, most notably for the things that can only be done by clicking or dragging right now. I know a couple of these have been covered elsewhere.

1. Multiple task selection
2. Moving a task immediately to Next, Today, Tomorrow, Waiting etc.
3. Moving a task up or down in the Doit Now list

Hello,

The three features are all supported in Doit.im now. :)

Q1: Multiple task selection
A: Hold Shift/Ctrl on the keyboard and you can select multiple tasks on the list at once.

Q2: Moving a task immediately to Next, Today, Tomorrow, Waiting etc.
A: Hover your mouse over the drag-and drop area (filled with small dots) in front of a task and you can directly move it to a targeted box (Next, Today, Tomorrow, Waiting etc)

Q3: Moving a task up or down in the Doit Now list
A: In the "Doit Now" group, long press a task and drag and drop it to the targeted location.

Hello,

with regards to the 2nd and 3rd point, I think you missed his point: he is talking about keyboard shortcuts, not using the mouse to do a drag and drop...

Have you ever seen any other app in which you can implement the drag-and-drop operation by keyboard shortcuts? If you have, please feel free to let us know and then we will do a research on it.

Thank you for your feedback and support.

Hi Michelle. lillumultipass is quite right, I was referring to hotkeys, not to mouse dragging. In this case I'm not asking to implement a drag-and-drop operation by hotkeys, what I'm suggesting is, for example (since you already use Alt+C to set selected task to Completed):

Alt+T: Set selected task to occur Tomorrow
Alt+W: Set selected task to Waiting
Alt+Up: Move selected task up one place in Doit Now
Alt+Down: Move selected task down one place in Doit Now

Keypresses for multiple selection would be a little more complex, but is certainly in place in a number of applications - for example, in Google Mail one moves up and down the list using J and K just as in Doit, and hitting X toggles the item which is currently highlighted to Selected.

@michelle1987

I think in Checkvist you can do that...
