New Functionality

on April 23, 2008 01:02PM

So, in the 1.0.3 version of TodoPaper some things have changed. Most notably is the removal of link nature of clicking the projects, tags, and urls. The hotlinks of these styles was becoming a problem when a user needed to edit the contents of the link, tag, or project. What I have done to solve this problem is require the user to hold the Ctrl button down when clicking to follow the link. This is a standard way of handling links in a text editor and think it will make it a bit easier to make changes to the contents of your document.

Also, I changed the previous project title link from folding the project, to searching within the project. To fold the project, you can - Use the hotkey Ctrl+M - Click the new margin indicator for projects

Let me know what you think of these changes. Your feedback is always welcome :)

Best, Jordan

Comments:

I must admit, I already miss the one-click linking. Perhaps you can add in a right-click "goto" option, so that we can still navigate with just the mouse?

Plus, I noticed that the Ctrl+H hide/show done tasks is missing - I've posted about that in the forum.

I really like the one click links too, but it was causing problems with new users. They didn't understand why the link was followed when they were editing the project title, tag, or url. The idea of adding a menu item to "Go To" or "Follow this link" is doable. I could also make a double click follow the link. What would you (and others) like to see?

I appreciate your feedback. Also, I commented in the forum about the Ctrl+H shortcut key.

Let me know if you come across anything else.

I can see the trouble with editing the tags. But a double-click would be perfect! And would match other functionality, at least on a windows box. (e.g., in Word, can ctrl+click or double-click on a link to follow it.)

So, yes, double-click would be awesome!
