When I set up a new project, I typically enter a lot of estimated work items. One starts with a quote, doesn't one? I would thus kindly like to suggest three improvements to streamline this for me (and hopefully others, too):
- Please do make the work item edit dialogue fully keyboard navigable. Currently (10.0.2), TAB only jumps between text fields, not other UI elements. To preserve the ability to enter Tabs and line breaks in multi-line text fields (like e,g, the "extra info" field) when using Tab-Navigation, the default behaviour on Mac OS X is to use Alt-TAB and Alt-RET respectively for entering these in multi-line text field.
- Please do create new work items with the same item mode (estimated, billable, ...) as the previous one. That way I would only have to switch the item mode two times; once when I create the first work item (switch to "estimated" as the current default is "billable"), and another time when I add the first billable item (switch back to "billable" from "estimated").
- Please do make the work items open-able by keyboard from the work item list. Currently, I can arrow up/down to select individual work items, but there doesn't seem to be a way of opening the edit dialogue form the work item list by keyboard. I have to double click it, or choose edit from the gear menu.
If you feel fancy, you might even choose to ponder about making the very first work item created in a project default to" estimated". That might will be a tricky choice, however.
