Shortcut to make a todo item dateless?
Very frequently, I have a todo item that's assigned to a date, and I change my mind and want to remove the date (make the item dateless). It would be a huge help if, in the popup "edit item" form, there were a little button or text link called "Remove date" that did this:
- cleared any reminders
- removed the start and end dates
In fact, it could even be a text link alongside "Remove | Forget etc," which would make the operation one click faster.

Inappropriate?In fact, I'd like todos to be created dateless unless otherwise specified.
I’m wishing for a new feature

Inappropriate?Robozoid, I think they *are* created dateless unless otherwise specified. Can you explain what you're trying to do? I might be able to help.

Inappropriate?So I send a reminder to sandy of the form
'Remind me <thing> @todo'
and for some reason it assigns a date to it, and starts sending me reminders at the default time every day. I don't want this: rather I want the reminder to go in my daily digest of todo items</thing> -
Inappropriate?These two behave differently:
remember thing1 @todo (or: r thing1 @todo, assuming that there is no date present in thing1)
- does not assign a date
remind me thing2 @todo
- does assign a date (tomorrow's, if there is no date in the item), and sets a reminder

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?ah that helps. I read somewhere else (on this forum) that remember and remind are the same thing, but I guess not.
-
Inappropriate?I was originally told the same thing and that the "r" shortcut key represented them both and was confused when dates were added to things that previously weren't specified. This clarification clears up my confusion. -
Inappropriate?Hi folks,
Mea culpa on the confusion there: Rich is absolutely correct.
Sandy used to discern the difference between "remember" and "remind", setting a reminder only for "remind" (but still scheduling anything with a date). But that unfortunately was erring on the side of not sending reminders, which was more likely to disappoint than to delight.
Is the "remind me about this or that @todo" without a date or time yet still being scheduled for the next day confusing many of you? If so, what was your expectation?
