Hi Nick. I want to move them out of the inbox, because the inbox gets cluttered. Tomorrow, when I review (wanting to process all new tasks that I gathered into the inbox today), I have a hierarchy of many, many, many tasks, which are all already processed and lined up for doing at specific times or under certain contexts etc, and they are mixed in with all the new tasks I just entered on-the-fly. This makes processing an extremely hairy time. Very tough. I want to use inbox ONLY to capture new tasks. Once I process them (assign to a date/assign to a context/setup the project hierarchy etc), I do not want them showing in the inbox. The quick once-off-ers (the two-minute stuff), are fine in inbox, cause they get done right there and then, and are checked as done and are gone. The processed stuff is what gets messy.
I don't really want to use folders. I use the "root" of the Outline mode in fact to simply place all active tasks that should not be in inbox. So, I just want the task out of inbox, but still be an active task showing up in Active by...or any other relevant view. In terms of moving with CTRL+M, yes, one can do this, and it's a great alternative at the moment. Problem is: you cannot move all 40/50 items that you just processed out of the inbox in one fluid motion, because that will then destroy (loose/ignore), the hierarchy which was just setup during review time. Thus, one has to go to every hierarchy tree, and move it one-by-one...another unduly tedious task. Due to this way of working, I have been forced to use folders. I have a "Processed" folder, into which I move everything as I process it.
