Thanks, wasn't aware of the program. I tried it and it seems a lot simpler and less modifiable, but that might be a good thing depending on how you look at it.

Nitpicks: It seems to open a new window every time you create something, that definately slows things down. There seems to be few hotkeys. In ToDoList there's a customizable keyboard shorcut for everything and I rely on them heavily.

There's about .. 24 or 30 shortcuts, yeah (mostly shown in the rightclick menu). In practice I find these match the core actions I do (new task, new subtask, edit task, start/stop time tracking, add notes, mark as completed..).

The new window thing bugs me too (but probably for different reasons, as a designer I think it's the correct choice and they should have just made it faster, probably by using GTK+ instead of Qt)
