A gaggle of Tudumo tips

I'd love to send out an update, but I'm working on improving performance and that always needs to be tested properly! I'm sure there'll be a Christmas Edition, so hang in there...

But that doesn't stop me updating the blog. And every so often I get a mail that reminds me that you guys have better things to do than pore over the help file. So for your casual perusal, I have here a few most-important-to-me tips:

1. The spacebar.
   
   Hitting the spacebar toggles the view of the selected action or heading. So expands an action, or focus/unfocus a heading.
   
   That's great if you quickly want to peek into an action and don't want to click on the fairly fiddly arrow on the right. (Which is there to reduce clutter on the left, but is a bit fiddly, let's face it. So use space!)
   
   
2. Ctrl-t.
   
   If you have an action selected and you hit ctrl-t Tudumo will open the tag editor. I use tags extensively and if there was one feature I couldn't do without, tags would be it.
   
   Possibly my most-used sequence:
   - (Usually) in the Inbox, hit ctrl-n to add a new action, and type the label.
   - Ctrl-t to edit the tag. Type a ta...(hopefully autocompleted) and hit enter.
   - Hit F5 to refresh the screen.
   
   <Boom> in a couple seconds I've added an action, tagged it and hidden it.
   (So imagine that in a tree view? Wandering around, clicking here and there, ctrl-n, do something...make tea, etc.)
   
   
3. Hitting ctrl-f to find stuff.
   
   The search starts off filtering your current view, so acts as one of the normal filters. If you keep typing, the search will expand to look at all actions and "pop" you out of the filter set you have.
   
   
4. Ctrl-left and ctrl-right.
   
   This is a great trick. Ctrl-left and right move the tag filter to the previous/next tag.
   
   So you can e.g. hit ctrl-f to search, type something to reduce the amount of actions, and then use ctrl-left or right to navigate to items in another tag but keeping the search filter intact.
   
   
5. And, y'know...the Tudumo visibility toggle key thingy...
   
   Which, depending on the version of Tudumo and/or Windows, and the phase of the moon, is either Win-T or now Win-Alt-T. In any case, this toggles the visibility of Tudumo so you can bring it up and hide it in one easy movement.
   
   So there you have it. With a few hours of wax-on-wax-off practice you could easily master these keys so that we could wake you up at 2am and you'd be able to toggle views without thinking, bringing new meaning to the term Watery Mind (tm)...uh...mindful water...water on the mind?
   
   ...you know what I mean.

And I'm sure that you have other funky tricks or sequences that you use - please add them in the comments!

(And keep a lookout for a new version - will post here.)
