Hi again,

 
I try to rephrase my headline, since I missed the point on my last  there must be a A QUICK WAY to get rid of a cluttered MLO.
   
This is something many people probably like to use if you, like me, drowning in tasks placed in inbox or another wrong used folder, and have limited time (or not like) to spend time in organizing each task in there right folders at once!!
 
Have looked around in the forum, but not found the most simple way to clear any cluttered folder!! There MUST be a way (or to get it made by MLO team) to HELP all of us that find a way to move our unorganized tasks into Projects and Folders with a tree structure!?

 

For example here is a cluttered inbox.

 

<Inbox>

  Email Clare ref vacancy

  Project 2 Task 2

  Next Tasks

  Project 1 Task 1

  Next Task6 Project 1

  MLO

  Project 1 Task 2

  Chaos Intellect

  Backlog Project 1 Task 1

  Opera Bookmarks

  Pocket PC 

Task4  Project 1

  Backlog Project 2 Task 1

  Backlog Action

  Home Action 1

   Task5 Project 1

Email Clare ref vacancy

Project 2 Task 2

Next Tasks

Project 1 Task 3

Next Task2

Next Task3

Next Task5

MLO

Project 1 Task 2

Chaos Intellect

Backlog Project 1 Task 1

Opera Bookmarks Pocket PC

 

Now I want to move all tasks regarding Project 1 to my Folder and/or Project  named Project 1

 

Today I press and hold down the [Ctrl]-key and click with the mouse on each task that has anything to do with Project 1.

Then I press [M] still holding down the [Ctrl]key (equal [Ctrl+M] for Move) and point to the right Project 1 folder.

 

But HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT THE MOUSE???!! Only using keyboard  [PgUp] / [PgDn] = arrow-keys. Since its much quicker and easier to work with keyboard in this matter, when organizing tens or hundreds of tasks of tasks to new folders

 

So I guess simply to push some key-combination together with arrow-keys and the problem would be solved...

 

Best regards


/Benny

You might use the "quick text filter" (ctrl+L) then typing "project 1"
Only tasks with the text "project1" will then be displayed.
then, juste select the tasks and move them under the project (using alt+shift+arrows)

does it work?

Thanks Oliver,
that's a nice and quick way to find tasks with text filter, new to me :-) BUT unfortunately I quite often don't  have this identical text "Project1" written in all of my tasks I like to move to the Project1 folder .-(  This means I still need to do a manual pic of these tasks and the question remains. If there is the not a command for this today, (to select/highlight task while using Arrow up or down, maybe someone could ask for this little feature from the developer team. It should really ease up the speed in moving tasks to right folder. There must be a lot more people out  there that, fast fills up there inbox, when for instance, using the excellent mobil apps with speech to text input etc.

Hi Benny,

  have you try the F3 pop up window? then arrange 2 windows wide by side and copy paste the tasks.

How about opening your projects view in a separate window (F3) and simply using drag/drop or cut/paste to there?
