[Design] task list feature

[edward porter]

Hello, I wanted to make a small design request (and then a much  
larger one).  When creating tasks would it be possible to create a  
new task simply by hitting return? Currently, you create a new task  
by hitting the "new" button on the menu or 'apple n'. If you do press  
return nothing happens. Hitting return would be very natural. Just  
like using a word processing app. It's easy to sit down at your  
computer with a long list a things you need to do. Hitting return  
rather than a button on the menu when make it much easier to enter  
all those items.

This is something I've noticed lacking across the board in calendar  
programs actually. And on that note, in general, I usually find the  
task or 'to-do list' management feature of calendar programs lacking.  
This could be a great thing to develop to make chandler different.  
Everyone manages their to-do list differently, but the bottom line is  
managing or organizing it is very useful. Whether it's by priority or  
subject ('errands', 'financial matters', etc..) or time to complete  
the task, or all of the above, it's very useful to have multiple ways  
to arrange, categorize, and subcategorize your to-do lists. Like a  
calendar, it helps you to visualize what all you need to do. Having  
such a organized to-do list tightly integrated with your calendar  
just seems natural. That way you can easily play with the best  
schedule to accomplish all your categorized to-do/task items.


thank you for your time and consideration,
