Rationale After creating a task, very often I want to still modify the task, such as schedule, re-prioritise, etc.

Current behaviour: 1.- position the cursor (select line) to some task, let's call it X 2.- add a new task Y by using the shortcut "a" 3.- the task Y is created and is sorted into the list of tasks somewhere, but cursor stays positioned at task X
Desired behaviour In step 3, the cursor should jump to the newly created task Y wherever it was sorted into the task list so that the user can immediately take another action on the task.

Interesting idea. I'll think about this. I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior for everyone (perhaps some people enter a complete task in step 2) so if we do indeed implement this we might want to make it a preference.

If this preference is turned on, what would you expect to happen if the filter you're currently using does not display the task you just entered? Just nothing?

Nothing is appropriate. I.e., add a task, it gets a new ID, draw the task list and if ID is found in the current list, jump to it, otherwise nothing.

Sounds reasonable. Thank you for the feedback these last few days. I might not have time to work on VIT for a while, but I will definitely get around to your ideas eventually (and possibly someone else will take a look and provide a patch).
