Sure, but if I *do* want to fill in some of the fields when I add it, (say priority, but not anything else) then I have to tab through to the priority drop-down, instead of, say, just typing: New task !! I realize it's probably a minor thing to a lot of people, but the cognitive load is lower for me if I can just enter everything at once, instead of having to interact with a form to enter the right things. I didn't even realize what a difference it made until I started using RTM. Does this make sense? Anyway, I'm glad it's on the devs' radars -- I look forward to switching to TD once this feature is implemented. |

Are there any plans to enable some sort of quick add syntax for adding tasks (similar to RTM's Smart Add)? I've found a few posts also asking this, and the answer seems to be either:
a) It's a good idea, or b) Just using the tab key to quickly navigate the add task dialog is sufficient While (a) is great, it doesn't seem like it's turned into an actual feature. And I disagree with (b) -- using the tab key requires me to go through *every* field a task could have, whereas just using a quick add syntax (like the email/twitter syntax, even if it didn't auto-suggest things) would allow me to quickly enter only the field relevant to that new task. I'm currently an RTM-pro user, but I just discovered TD and think it's far superior in every regard *except* this; I'd happily switch to TD, but unfortunately the ability to quickly add tasks using a syntax like this is make-or-break for me. So...is there a chance this will actually get implemented? Or should I just give up on it? Thanks in advance for the replies (and for the great product)! |
