It depends on the grouping. Select all followed by focus works for me ungrouped or grouped by project. It doesn't work for grouped by context, grouped by project, grouped by any sort of date, or grouped by flag.

I'd report it as such. Omni is really good at polishing their UIs over time, so annoying or buggy, they'll want to know either way.

I like the idea of using the focus button but I too am only able to use the focus button in context mode by selecting some actions. Neither ungrouped or grouped by projects allows me to use the focus button. Is this a bug or something? I'm guessing that I can take the same approach by simply selecting all actions and then hitting the focus button?

The Focus button says "Focus on the Projects containing these actions." You have to select the actions so that the button knows what "these actions" means. Arguably OF should ignore other things selected in Context mode, so reporting that seems reasonable. (And if the UI is confusing, reporting that will help Omni improve the interface, even if it isn't a "bug".)

The following is related, but somewhat of a fork.

"Get the specs on widget X from Joe." would initially have a context of "email", and then "waiting for" after the email is sent. If there are other interesting ways people deal with this, do reply. Thanks.
