What
Have the possibility to set the priority directly when creating a new list item.
Right now this is possible for:
- Dates through the usage of “^”
- Tags through the usage of “#”
Proposal:
Use “!” to initiate the priority picker. Ideally reflecting the priority colors as wel (as customized). If “!” alone conflicts with the actual sentence usage, consider introducing a double “!!” to trigger the priority picker.
Using “!” / “!!” in combination with a valid number (1-9) is also possible.
When parsing “!” / “!!” with a valid number, this is parsed by Checkvist and the list item is reflecting the registered priority.
Why
In day to day usage, the #tag, ^date AND priority properties are used often when creating a new list item. The #tag and ^date properties are easily set through the shortcut syntax (“#” / “^”). But the priority can only be set after the list item has been created through the 1-9 key shortcuts. This breaks the flow (consistent usage) of being able to set the most used list item properties in a textual/shortcut syntax way.
