I often want to add many tasks while inside a project in the outliner view. Currently I do that by pressing the add task-hotkey but it would be more efficient if I could for example press Ctrl-Enter to add a new task directly after the one I added. Is this possible somehow?

I don't want to have to go to the rapid entry dialogue but to do this in the main MLO-window I'm working in.

After entering the name of a task you can hit the [enter] key to close the task and leave task entry mode, or instead you can hit the [insert] key on your keyboard to close the task, stay in task entry mode and open the next new task. So to quickly enter three tasks, go to the item after which the new tasks will be places and type
[ins]task1[ins]task2[ins]task3[enter]
where [ins] means to hit the [insert] key on your keyboard. Is this what you are looking for? If you are trying to change the task-add hotkey to [ctrl][enter] I dont think that particular ket combination is usable as a hotkey.

Yeah - just use alt-Ins to insert the first child item, then Ins for all the siblings to follow under it.
