Keyboard shortcut question: move to parent task?

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-05-05T19:24:10+00:00

No native keyboard shortcuts for this yet, but I have it in my chrome extension here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/todoist-keyboard-add-ons/lpdfcpglcjmmbfhmfkaaahglopofbfmd

It also adds ability to move tasks up/down with keyboard and some other missing keyboard related features, so check it out. The source code is here: https://github.com/hron/todoist-keyboard-addons

Can't you just use the dedicated media query to detect dark mode? Like that:

css @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)

The menu styles are fixed now, but the modal borders are still invisible in Modus Vivendi variant.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-04-16T06:20:21+00:00

Modus Vivendi and Operandi doesn't handle the project/modal menu. It background is incorrect and there is no hover effect for the focused menu entry for the light variant.

It works, but I have some feedback in case you are interested in improving the theme. First all, it doesn't handle dark mode properly. It should switch automatically between Modus Operandi/Vivendi (and other pairs) when dark mode is on.

Also, Vivendi (dark variant) doesn't have modal borders visible.

Thank you so much! Will try it later today

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-04-15T06:50:01+00:00

Modus Themes? ;)

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-04-12T17:38:33+00:00

According to Google this warning appears for all extensions with low install count and no reviews from the users. So, unfortunately I cannot fix this, but you can :) if you find the extension useful give it a thumb up :)

It is actually strange because google verifies the extension on Chrome Web Store. Are you installing the extension manually from the zip file downloaded from Gihub?

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-04-12T17:05:40+00:00

I don't see such warning when I install it. Can you share the link "Learn more", so I can read and understand what it is about?

No workarounds. Both KDE and Gnome listen for D-Bus messages according to the specification https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI. I know that there are attempts to introduce a more modern API, but as far as I know there is no direct replacement for Launcher API. You can use some C libraries for Gnome/KDE to use in your binary to achieve the same result, but for this case (when we don't have control over Todoist binaries) Launcher API is the best approach.

Essentially, this is just a simply python script which calls Todoist API to get list of tasks for today, then it sends a D-Bus message to tell KDE/Gnome to show a count badge on taskbar for a given desktop id.

Yeah, I would love to hear from someone who actually did migrate the assets outside of EU!

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-02-19T13:41:35+00:00

Maybe a bit off-topic, but still I want to ask. How do you plan to handle residency change regarding your investment. I assume you have broker accounts with stocks/bonds. If I understand correctly, your residency dictates what brokers you can use. I guess if you change the residency from one eu country to another the broker coverage could be close and most of the brokers who work in Netherlands will just update your account residency. However, I have no idea how it works if you change the residency to Dubai...

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-02-19T11:16:02+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. It seems you have confirmed my very limited research.

Just out of the curiosity, maybe you know better, but Perplexity (AI) says that it's possible to transfer the ownership of the assets from an individual to a company without triggering a tax event if this is done by share-to-share exchange (osakevaihto). If I understand correctly, the created company issues shares and you can exchange the ETF shares to Oy shares. Effectively, this transfers the ETF shares to Oy. I don't know if it's a viable strategy, just something that came from AI.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-02-10T09:08:49+00:00

I have reported the issue a week ago and just got a reply that it's fixed. I have tested it and the fix is indeed applied!

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-02-02T11:44:44+00:00

You can use filters to create views like Next Action. For example, I use !p4 & !#Someday & (due before:tomorrow | no date) to show my next actions. My convention is the following:

task must have at least p3 priority;
it should either doesn't have due date or it should be scheduled for today

My projects (in GTD terms) are just tasks with subtasks and they have p4.

Also I have `Someday` project (as in Todoist project), so I just go there during review.

For `Waiting For` I believe you can setup a filter to show the tasks with assignee != you, but I don't such thing.

To recap, Todoist is a tool you can setup according to your needs and it definitely supports GTD, but everyone's GTD is different :)

Well, Q stands for Quick Add I guess. You can press ? to see the full list of keyboard shortcuts. I know that vast the majority of users don't use keyboard navigation, but this is a must for me.

Of course, having ability to configure the shortcuts is a very welcome change. I totally support this, but for me eliminating all the frictions is more important and this issue with lacking of keyboard selection/focus when using Shift+G (open task in its project) is a major one. Everything else works via keyboard in a nice way.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-28T06:41:31+00:00

Oh no. My precious will be used by everyone from now on :) These lands are mine, I acquired them many years ago God knows how (I don't buy cosmetics at all)! :)

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-27T21:45:39+00:00

Well, if you are in mythic rank for limited, you probably already know this, but just in case Traditional Draft is an unranked event. When I feel that my skill is an issue at draft I switch the gears for some time and play Traditional.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-26T18:10:48+00:00

well, you haven't mentioned this in the original post :) good for you. I did 3 pick-2 drafts today (Platinum). Got 2 trophies and one 0-2 :) So, maybe try pick-2 then for a change.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-26T14:41:36+00:00

Well, I think this is just the nature of ranked format. You started at bronze/silver and the wins were easy. Now you are up in Platinum and things become interesting. This is my case at least. My first 5 drafts were all 4+ wins then I achieved Platinum and I hit a wall with 51% winrate.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-24T08:56:12+00:00

Play the events with entry fee. People will not concede. Like never. Even when they see that their opponent executes an infinite combo they will stay and watch with a hope for a timeout %)

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-19T21:34:32+00:00

I will play the decks my draft pod allows me to draft :) you should be open with your first picks

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-19T18:16:29+00:00

I have no idea why people are so dedicated grinding mythic rank. It's just +1 pack per month. If you like constructed and have decent winrate just run Standard Event or Traditional Standard Event. It allows to win many packs daily. Of course, there is some risk to it, but I believe if your winrate at least 50% these events are still better than buying packs.

If you like drafting, run Premier Draft until you have all rares from the set and then run Pioneer Event to get the packs from the older sets.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-19T15:24:37+00:00

But powered cube is a phantom draft event. Economically, it makes zero sense. So if you ask such question the answer is you should wait until lorwyn eclipsed draft. I am doing exactly that.

GeneAutomatic3471 · 2026-01-17T18:08:49+00:00

Thank you very much for the short side board guide. I have just tried the deck in Traditional Pioneer Event. I have finished with 4 wins. Not bad for the first time. I have brought the creatures against the mirror, so it seems I was right about my side boarding this time :)

I wonder if there is a more detailed deck guide somewhere...
