Here's a script which provides a useful alternative to the switch operation, aka show in (context|planning) mode, or twin

When applied to a single leaf action (not in the inbox), it opens a new window focussed on the project that contains the action, with filters in a default state, allowing you to see the other actions remaining on that project.

This allows you to quickly see if next actions exist, and create or adjust them as necessary before completing your actions and closing the new window.

You can then continue working in the original window where you left off.

I use this a lot.

To install, copy Reveal.scpt from the zip file to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus and restart Omnifocus. You can add it to your Omnifocus toolbar by right clicking on the toolbar and selecting "Customize Toolbar".

UPDATED 30/12/07 - 1.4.2 use this if 1.4.3 doesn't work for you. [deleted]
UPDATED 30/12/07 - 1.4.3 recommended version (works like original 1.4.0 version). [deleted]
UPDATED 4/12/07 - 1.4.4 fix for "not an action" due to inbox task rename to task in scripting interface
UPDATED 10/5/07 - 2.0.5ß cleanup - might fix the pi issue mentioned elsewhere. Known bug: additional 'main' script visible in Customise Toolbar

ßeta users note: you should delete any existing Reveal scripts from ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Omnifocus before installing the new Reveal Script.

The script "Pan Out" is also available elsewhere on this site; it expands the focus to include the parents of the current focus.
