Shortcut for changing priority also changes the due date.

[cstby]

Using Alt + Super + Arrow Up/Down changes both the task priority and task due date. The expected behavior is to change the task priority only.

I'm on Sleek 1.2.1 and Pop!_OS (Ubuntu) 22.04.

@cstby thanks for reporting this, I'll look into it soon and keep you posted about the progress.

@cstby can you tell me what OS you're in and if this still occurs in 1.2.8?

I'm asking because I'm having trouble reproducing it on a Mac.

[Maartyl]

Same here. Windows 10. Version: 1.2.7 from Microsoft Store.

Also, Alt+Win+{Left,Right} deletes due date.

@Maartyl @cstby is it possible that on Windows and on popOS (what Desktop Environment is it running btw?) the combination Super/Windows + Alt + Up/Down is already occupied by the OS?

I have a Windows 10 VM and Windows ignores the Super + Alt + Up/Down combination in sleek and instead splits the window size in half.

On my Ubuntu (with Gnome) the Super + Alt + Up/Down combination triggers Gnome Activity feature (that shows all windows).

So maybe it might be a better idea to switch the priority shortcuts from Super/Windows + Alt + Up/Down (Old) to Super/Windows + Ctrl + Up/Down (New).

Whereas the due date shortcut would remain on Ctrl + Alt + Up/Down.

What do you say?

[Maartyl]

I believe it's in general better to not use Super/Windows for application specific shortcuts.

• On Windows they are often bound.
• On Linux I use them for WM shortcuts.

Windows + Ctrl + Up/Down already has meaning on Windows, as it maximizes / unmaximizes / minimizes a window.

It's OK to use letters, like Ctrl+W/S for up down; Alt+A..Z for direct choice (if it's even worth that many shortcuts) and other Ctr+ for more in the future if needed.

@cstby @Maartyl so I hope I've found a generic approach to handle shortcuts the same on all OS. Can I ask you to check out this latest pre-release? https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v1.3.1-rc.1

In this release the following shortcuts have been implemented:
Ctrl + Shift + Up = Priority up
Ctrl + Shift + Down = Priority down
Ctrl + Shift + (Right OR left) = Priority removed
Ctrl + Shift + (A to Z) = Priority set directly

Alt + Up = Due date one day forwards
Alt + Down = Due date one day backwards
Alt + (Right OR left) = Due date removed

Could you guys please give it proper testing and tell me if this works for you and if you're experiencing any side effects?

Alt + Up = Due date one day forwards
Alt + Down = Due date one day backwards
Alt + (Right OR left) = Due date removed

@cstby @Maartyl @CPUGPU realised, that holding down alt and using the arrow keys right and left on a Mac, is a user's standard behavior to mark whole words. Thus I suggest the due date shortcuts should also include shift, like the ones for priority. I hope this doesn't interfere with Linux or Windows standard behavior. If so, please let me know.

New shortcuts:
Alt + Shift + Up = Due date one day forwards
Alt + Shift + Down = Due date one day backwards
Alt + Shift + (Right OR left) = Due date removed

Available in the next pre-release: https://github.com/ransome1/sleek/releases/tag/v1.3.1-rc.2
