ALYONA - Ability to setup hot key for program to move task to set folder ???

[Alex]

Does anyone know if MLO has ability to assign a HOT KEY to automatically move a task to set folder with 1 key press instead of having to rely on CTRL+M, then select folder etc...?

For instance say I have folder ARCHIVE, I'd like to be able to press set KEY and have it automatically move the task to this folder.

Also is there any means to setup to have task automatically move to set folder "ARCHIVE" once completed?

Hi Alex,
There is no such option, unfortunately.

I think in the case of moving tasks you could probably construct some kind of macro that'll enclose the task caption in quotes and then append "-totaskXYZ" (the archive folder in your case) and lastly press Alt+Enter, and you can put a custom hotkey on that?

AutoHotKey would ofc be one of the most prevalent solutions, but likely your keyboard already has macro functionality, maybe even focused-window-sensitive ones?

However, just last week I found myself pruning many Star-Marks in my MLO because many of those should've realistically been tagged goals which I recently started incorporating in my workflows, and now I have a Starred TREE view in which I only have my most frequently visited non-task entries listed, like the folder about MLO in general, and whenever I wanna move something I'll just use that view to navigate towards the subfolder the task or note would belong to. Yes it's a little more overhead than a direct hotkey, but it allows fast yet still granular moving and that serves me well.

Hope I could help :)
