Right-click the project and choose Completed.

In the project view:
make the view filter visible
select completed for the projects (top left)
group by completed (second from the left)

16. Full blown applescript support!
For people like curt clifton to enhance OF. :-)
And for people who want to tweak OF in some way that Omni may not support.

Using the tab is extremely fast. Entering the dates is mind numbing easy.

How do you use the keyboard for date entry?

This is driving me bonkers...I can use the keyboard up to the point I have to put in due date, then I stall.

just tab over to the column and type "friday," "tomorrow," "12/4," "Dec 10," etc.

If you haven't activated showing start and due date columns, then I feel your pain! Go to View > Columns and then choose the columns you want to show: Start Date, Due Date, and Estimate. Once they're visible, you can tab to them just as you do from action to context or project.

SpiralOcean: thanks for the list! It was nice to see, especially now that the forums are full of new users who are encountering some of the UI quirks that we've had half a year to get used to.

my mistake. :-)
tom is tomorrow

another one I found was
jan 1 08

I love that format. Mostly because I don't like typing the /
But it's not /'s fault.
