Hi Yury Here is the script which will change the importance of the new task. 1) instal autohotkey. Download it from here: http://www.autohotkey.com/ 2) save this script to desktop and run it Then go to MLO. Add a task (press insert for example). Write the task title and instead of ENTER press

If what you want is to change the default of every task you as to the inbox just change the importance on the inbox itself. Anything you add from then forward will inherit that setting. No script necessary and should work across all platforms. On Nov 29, 2014 6:42 AM, Andrei Bacean

Go to settings, general and find list view display mode. Compact will show more on screen. It is not any more efficient with white space it will just remove any/all second line data (shows context, date due et al). If the v2 iPad so is any indication, the v2 android app will not improve upon

For what it's worth, while I personally understand and agree with being able to reduce white space, for some people it poses issues if it isn't present - I have had colleagues who had problems reading items as separate if there isn't a line of white space between them, for example. Ideally,

Hi John Shift+Alt+Cursor key is used in all the Microsoft products (Word, Excel, OneNote) for promoting, demoting, moving up and moving down items (paragraphs, rows, columns). Not widely known, I know - but try it! I agree that Tab/Shift Tab would also be good (I use this in One Note a lot)

I agree Trish. But having whitespace is not the same as *wasting* whitespace. IMO MLO wastes a lot of whitespace. And if I deliberately CHOOSE a compact view I think I'm implying I want less wasted screen. Can we agree on that? So then why take info away (2nd line) while favoring space

Not disagreeing with you on that, Joel, though I think that the reduced info approach might still be useful for some people. There are those out there who explicitly want the immediately visible info to be limited to the task title, and only see more detail when they explicitly click on an
