simple way to move task up/down, convert between task and subtask

[Ying Dong]

Besides ctrl+M, is there any other keyboard operations to move task up and down (align vertically), conversion between task and subtask (align horizontally) within the same folder? Thanks

[Wallace Gilbraith]

Shift-Alt-Up/ Down arrow

Shift-Alt-Left/ Right arrow

Thanks a lot.

I don't see move up/down in the options/hotkeys so I guess it cant be modified, right? 

[Stéph]

That's correct: They're shortcut keys, not hotkeys.

Since I can't change it, to get myself used to that key combination, I try to set hotkeys which edit task properties to Shift-Alt..., while I use Ctrl-Alt for hotkeys for navigation around my outline.  Now it feels like the most appropriate keys for moving a task in my outline. 

[Andrei, Win&Droid MLO user]

here is a script which adds 2 custom key combinations for moving the task to the top of the list, and another one for moving the task to the bottom of the list.

To use it, install autohotkey from here: AutoHotkey

Then create a file with ahk extension, exemple:   myfirstscript.ahk

Paste into that file the following lines of code (only the green color text):

save the file myfirstscript.ahk.

Double click on it to execute it.

Then go to MLO. select a task at the bottom of the list. Press Alt Shift PageUp to move it to the top of the list.

Also, to move a task to the bottom, press the combination Alt Shift PageDown.

Happy testing!

; Alt+Shift + PgDn, PgUp - Move task to the top or bottom of the list

#If WinActive("ahk_class TfrmTaskListWindow") || WinActive("ahk_class TfrmMyLifeMain")

; move tasks to top

Thank you very much. I also just started using autohotkey. I will try out in my single instance mode.
