I'm a new user, so forgive me if any of these features are already available and I've just missed them (but, if so, please let me know how I can use them!). I do a lot of what would be "projects" that include the same tasks - it would be nice to be able to copy a project and its tasks, or make project templates (or even task templates). Some "projects" I have would each have the same 10 or so tasks upon creation, and it is quite tedious to remake the same tasks for a new project every time. Similarly, the ability to select multiple tasks at once (e.g., check boxes that could be selected by keyboard and clicked) and collectively edit them (e.g., to assign at once several selected tasks to the same hour on the calendar, assign them all the same duration/label/project/etc.), rather than having to individually go to each task's task pane and edit Additionally, maybe I'm missing this somewhere, but a way to (preferably dynamically/readily, but really at all) adjust the default task duration/date/deadline/etc. for newly created tasks would be nice, preferably in a similar way that a default label can be easily selected and re-selected (i.e., without going to a settings pane). The existing ability to both set a default label and easily change the default label in the task creation pane makes it a lot easier to create multiple tasks for the same label and then transition to making multiple tasks for another label. The same functionality for duration/deadline/date of task/etc. would make creating tasks much less time consuming - currently, it can be a bit of a chore. Finally, right now it is very difficult to create a task and give it a duration, deadline date, and/or calendar block without using the mouse. Calendar block assignment is especially difficult - it is neither quick to do with a mouse or with a keyboard. Mouse requires me to scroll minute by minute to change the start time (could this be changed in a setting to default to 15/30/etc. min time increments?), and using the keyboard to type out a time for a calendar block is incredibly frustrating and unintuitive. One possible solution, and not sure if this is viable, but microsoft's To Do let's you toggle functionality for the program to read a date (e.g., "today", "tomorrow". "4/30" etc.) in plain text from a task's title and, upon pressing enter (i.e., adding the task), the program sets that date as the task's date, and deletes the date language from the task title. I don't imagine it would require NLP if a standard format for such functionality were implemented - e.g., understands "today," "tomorrow," "Monday," etc. and DD/MM, DD/MM/YY, etc. Regardless, once tasks and projects are actually set up, this app is great. As the above suggests, my main gripe is the time necessary to put everything together in the "planning" phase. Thanks!
