We’ve just released a new version of the Checkvist bookmarklet for Chrome and Firefox.
Now you can not just add tags, due dates, and sub-tasks, but also select a specific location in the target list.
Start typing to filter the list on the fly. Here’s a small demo -
Could you please restore the notes field, it only show up if you have something highlighted now which is a pain as I often need to provide context to the link I’m adding. Perhaps it could be an option, or a link/button to show the notes field if nothing was highlighted in the page?
Really liking the new web clipper. Staying open while scrolling helps tremendously when adding multiple bits of information from a long web page. One request: could you please add a small button, say in the space between Note and #tags, to swap the text in the title and notes fields? I often collect quotes and statistics and like having the title/URL as a reference in the notes instead vice-versa. Thanks!
That’s an interesting idea, thanks! The use case can be quite common.
I ctrl-x and ctrl-v quite often myself
“Note swap” could be contextual and unobtrusive, smth like a screen below.
What do you think?
The next Web Clipper version is going to have the ‘Add to the bottom’ option. That’s somehow in the course of what you are suggesting.
Not sure about the only dropdown, though. Some lists are huge, loading and navigating them in the browser extension can be a painful task. But anyway, thanks for suggesting this. Maybe @maxkir will find a way to implement it one day
I would like to report a crime. This video says “Add with one Click”. This is a violation of the product code of conduct and philosophy. I request punishment of the offending party. It should be recorded for all to see. The offending party could escape punishment by providing a keyboard alternative.
Ahhh, mia culpa, mia culpa!
The only excuse I have this video was quickly made on the beach (literally as we are on vacation). Hot sun, too much mohito and aperol - conditions you start clicking without short-cutting.
All critique solemnly accepted, will make a new better one - as soon as I get back to my work table!
@vidderkidder you’re right, but in fact there is already a keyboard shortcut to open Checkvist WebClipper - Alt Shift C. But it is not that simple to demostrate it in the video, so using a mouse there was a, well, shortcut
But Checkvist asks if you want to insert [youtube] link if you paste it, and if you just press Esc, it will not embed the video. Or I’m missing something?
To add to this, mostly the reason I use the extension (instead of pasting the YT link into CheckVist) is that CheckVist doesn’t do what I want - that is, it should automatically fetch the title instead of the preview image. Unless I’m doing a YT playlist (not that often) I very rarely want to add the preview image, I just want the title/link instead.
Can I suggest a new 4 option setting in the config for pasting YT links that should be:
Link only
Embed Video
Title and Link
Ask every time (as it currently does, but add a “Title and Link” to the 2 current buttons
