Hello

When using the parsing of RTE (Rapid Text Entry), is it possible to use shortened versions of context name? i.e. To use "wild cards" 
e.g. Suppose I had the context of @Office, it would be nice to just enter something like 

   Find paperwork for clientA   @Off*

Whereby "@Off" was enough to uniquely identify the full existing context called "@Office".

In practice  what happens is that if I try to parse "@Off*", MLO asks me if I want to create a new context called @Off* - which is not what I want (!)

Cheers

You can do this with flags but with Contexts the nearest you can get is untick "Inherit parent contexts", then Alt+c, and you'll get auto suggestions as you type.

Hi Pottster

Yes, that is slightly useful. Thanks.

But it's fiddly because if using just keyboard, you have to hit Tab in order to give it focus and then ALL the context(s) you add at this point are allocated to ALL the tasks that you are currently entering in the RTE.
