Hello folks,

First time poster. I use a couple of keyboard shortcuts for this manoeuvre.

Cmd-4 will move the focus to the sidebar.
Ctrl-Cmd-Arrows will perform outlining movements.

So, if from the Inbox I highlight a task line, press Ctrl-Cmd-Left, it'll appear as a new project in the sidebar (assuming I'm in planning mode).

If you then use Cmd-4 to focus on the sidebar, you can use Ctrl-Cmd-Up to move that new project into any folder in that list.

You might need to use Ctrl-Cmd-Right to make it obey the tree depth, but it seems to work nicely. Might make a TextExpander snippet bound to an unused F-key to make that a macro.

Hope that helps
