Re: [MLO] Annoying 'feature' - mouse click selects area rather than item

[Robin Lowenthal]

If you click the task in certain columns, such as "Flag" or "Effort", you 
only have to click once.

[MLO] Feature suggestion- Filtered view to "Show one action per project"

[Robin Lowenthal]

I like the way MLO shows one "Next Action" per project, because it keeps 
the todo list shorter and non-overwhelming. 

But my projects don't always have a single next action. As David Allen's 
website says, 
(https://gettingthingsdone.com/2017/05/managing-projects-with-gtd/), "It’s 
fine to have multiple next actions on any given project...", as long as 
these Actions don't depend on each other.

Currently, in the "Next Actions" view, MLO finds the active action at the 
top of each project's task list, and THEN applies all other filters.   

For those users whose projects have multiple "Next Actions", 
I suggest a new feature such that:

**MLO will apply all other filters BEFORE applying the "Top of each 
project's task list" filter.
This feature would be called "Show one active action per project"

So for example, If my "Party" project has first subtask "Make guest list" 
and second subtask "Buy party decorations", and third subtask "Rent Helium 
tank"(marked important), and if I'm heading out on errands, I can filter 
for context=errands, importance=high, and "Show one active action per 
project" and I will see "Rent helium tank" on my filtered list.

Thanks for considering this feature suggestion.
