I'm trying to generate/view all my tasks with a specific @context (like @calls, @computer, etc.) across all folders (which I named based on roles like personal, business, family, social, etc.).  So if I search "@calls" it will pull just all the @calls to-dos pulling from all folders?  I don't see this option in the the to-do view options.

Hi, do you see a view called Active Actions by Context? It will show you all of your contexts and the tasks under each. If the hit F6 it will collapse the view so that you will just see a lisy of contexts. Then you can pick the one you are interested in and click it to see the tasks.

There are a lot of ways to do this, I'm guessing that this might be one of the eadier ways.

The view that Dwight mentioned is in the Todo section of views on the right hand side. It is the second item in my list but all I can read is : "Active Action ...". When you hover over it you see that the full name is : "Active Actions by Context".

Another, slightly different way to do it is to use the context filters in the filter section of the left hand side. This will filter only the tasks with a selected context in the current view/workspace.

I have attached a couple of images showing how each of these look

Also, note that in the head bar of the task grid there will be an
asterisk to remind you that the view has been altered. You can reset it
with the "Reset View" button on the bottom. If you often filter for that
context, you can create a special view with that filter. You can also
create a workspace with that special view activated.
