Alt+Down should set priority to (Z) instead of (A) #197

Closed ghost closed 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

Title says it all. The use case is when the user wants to set quickly the lowest priority possible.

I can see where you're coming from, but I prefer the current behaviour. I tend to only use the first 3 or 4 priority letters. Alt-down-down-down sets the priority to C, which is how I want it to work. On 13 Apr 2014 19:39, "lepre84" notifications@github.com wrote:

Let's assume the possible priorities would be just (A), (B) & (C), wouldn't you like to use alt+down and get directly to (C)? :) Maybe a compromise would be to make the priority a cycle. So Alt+UP from (A) gets to (Z) and viceversa.

Here's an idea to address this issue: Add a keyboard shortcut to set an arbitrary priority to a selected task, using a modal popup window. This feature would work similarly to the postpone feature.

I could code it, if you want.

While that would be a good a idea worth adding anyway I was thinking that for my use case is probably better to use WAIT instead of a priority. So maybe an idea would be to add a W shortcut for WAIT (which is unused at the moment). So W could be like:

Then by setting filter 1 to "-WAIT" I would be able to hide all those tasks quickly. :)

Obviously I could edit the task manually but it looks like a small enough feature to add.

For the most part I'm trying to keep to the features covered by the official spec, and AFAIK there's no 'wait' concept. Have I missed something?

  • U the task
  • append " WAIT " at the end
  • put the cursor after that for the user to insert the wait condition or use a input window like Postpone but I feel the other ways is more consistent with the usual editing of tasks.

You're right. I saw it used at the bottom of this page https://github.com/ginatrapani/todo.txt-cli/wiki/The-Todo.txt-Format but i didn't remember it was just a tip for user personalization. I beg you pardon as I'm still getting to know todo.txt. I guess you can close this thread as I'll be using a LATER personal keyword and filter by that :)
