Batch actions #1828

Open ishanarora opened 2 years ago

ishanarora commented 2 years ago

Problem Statement

Often I choose to schedule multiple tasks together for a later date (and move to backlog). Right now this involves roughly 4-5 clicks per task. Other batch actions that can be repetitive include move to backlog, move to other project and delete task.

:grey_question: Possible Solution

We could allow selecting more than one task at a time. This could be achieved using multiple-select. If the context menu is opened with multiple tasks selected then only the batch actions should be shown.

:arrow_heading_up: Describe alternatives you've considered

Clicks. Lots of clicks.

Thanks for opening this up! I am definitely for improving this!

Meanwhile you can drastically reduce the amount of clicks being used, by using keyboard shortcuts. E.g. for scheduling:

  1. focus a task
  2. press s to open the schedule dialog
  3. use the arrow keys to navigate to the day you want to schedule
  4. press enter to confirm

In this article there are several more described: https://dev.to/johannesjo/getting-started-with-super-productivity-2791

Ah, I didn't realize the shortcuts were documented. It would be great if we can add an option to show all the shortcuts in a quick reference cheat sheet. We could trigger the sheet with a button on the top right, and by a pressing the '?' or the 'h' key. What do you think?

There is an issue open for that subject: https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity/issues/991

Meanwhile you can look them all up on the settings page.

That would be quite an upgrade to be able to bulk edit tasks in there !

I would like to add that the multiple selection feature would also be useful for applying a tag to multiple tasks, which would be very handy.
