I'm curious, is there any particular reason why you need to group effort per category? What do the categories represent? Do you have one category for each client/customer? In general, I'm hesitant to include code for very specific purposes because one of the goals for Task Coach is that it should be a 'friendly' (read: user friendly) task manager. > Another idea of mine is that it would be nice to have a few configurable > hot-keys which starts effort counting on a given task.

Maybe the user could assign Shift-F1, Shift-F2, etc. to a limited number of 'favorite' tasks? Cheers, Frank
