Saving quick entry without the mouse?
 
Is it just me or has the ability to save a quick entry by hitting "return" been lost with the updates. I always fill in the description, project, and context view and sometimes a start date. But I always have to go to the mouse to "save" Am I missing something here?

I haven't tried since the update (i switched to using quicksilver), but command-S should work.

Only in the title field
 
I now only works in the title field. If, like me, you want to fill in the project and context, you now must hit [Esc] to stop editing first, and then [Return] to save.

I really, really dislike the new behavior of the Return key.

Add me to the list of frustrated users. This has disrupted my workflow. I love this tool but I hope this gets fixed or at least made customizable.

Do you have "Return should also save and exit" checked in the general preferences?

I can currently just press return to save and exit from my QE.

I'm also having this issue, and filed a bug on it. I have "Return should also save and exit" checked in the prefs pane.

Return doesn't work from inside the non-title fields. Ken posted elsewhere that it was a bug. For now, from the non-title fields hit [I]esc[/I] to exit editing mode, then [I]return[/I] to commit the entry.

Another one with this bug, several revs old, including 91503. If you're only entering an action and hit return, it saves and goes away (neat!). If you enter a project, context, start, due or time, hitting return does nothing except complete and accept your entry: the QE box doesn't go away.

You can either press command-s, click save, hit ESC (ewww!) or shift-tab back to the action field and hit return there.

All bad for my workflow

bongoman, you must have great luck.

jasong 2007-09-19 05:13 PM

Ugh... it's not just the quick entry box that's changed. I'm unable to hit return to add a new action in the project mode if I'm in a field other than the action name (e.g. context).

Please please fix this guys!
