Feature: Slect multiple Tasks from some filtered view and MOVE them to a folder

[Mr. Analogy]

I frequently run into the following Use Case Scenario:

Feature Request: one of these two:

Ability to :

• select multiple tasks from the Search Results
• Select "move" as an action for selected tasks in the To-Do window.
  

Rationale

I LOVE the ability to quickly add a task (Control-Alt-T). This keeps me from getting sidetracked when I remember "oh, yeah, I"m supposed to Get/Buy/Find/Do XYZ". I just quickly add the task and keep humming along without breaking my Flow
I don't usually usually use the Contexts with the Quick Entry b/c then it's ....ummm.. no longer quick entry.

But then I end up with (this week) 50 or 60 tasks in my "inbox".

Often half of them will be for some current or near future project so if I can just grab those and MOVE them to that Project folder, that'd save me a lot of time.

There are two ways I could almost do this:

• Search the Tasks for they keyword. But then you can only select one task at a time from the result.
• Filter them in the To-Do tab, but while you can select multiple tasks you can't MOVE them.

It would be very useful to be able to Ctrl-Click to select multiple items from the search results. Actually, it would be nice if clicking on one fully selected it, so I didn't have to click in task list before acting on.it. It seems to only highlight it. But when it does it clears the selection.

As a workaround, though, Ctrl-M will move multiple tasks from the todo tab.

The New Window feature in V4 makes this whole process dramatically easier – particularly if you have two screens.   Just open a new window on your Inbox, tile it alongside an outline view and you can then drag and drop items from the new Window on the Inbox to your project folders. 

 

And – I have just discovered – you can select non contiguous tasks in the Inbox New Window view and drag them all to one particular folder.

 

The new window feature is brilliant for this sort of task.

 

Andrey has mentioned this feature in the tail end of his last blog post so I think its OK to talk abou tthis

He's looking to move multiple tasks that are in different parts of the tree after a search, if I understand correctly.

A filtering tool would be great. Instead of just searching, the entire outline could be filtered based on the search/filter field.

Afterward, it'd be easy to manipulate the displayed items the way you want.

It is yet available by applying an advanced filter, but it's a lot o clicks if you want to use it intensively
