It would be nice to have the possibility to copy some nodes (using ALT + click) from the left bar to the target location in the main window.

thanks

  Hi Franco,

  I'm trying to understand the workflow suggestion here. Are you talking about copying or moving?

  Hi Frank
  
  I'm talking about copying some nodes from the left bar to a node in the main page. The background is:
  i need to copy from a project node/bullet some tasks or subtasks to another node/bullet (in the main page) where i have the tasks to complete today. This way i cans still keep the tasks in my project node/bullet and delete them only when i have completed them in my daily/weekly to do list.

  i hope i was clear enough.

  thanks

  Hi Franco,

   

  That makes sense! May I suggest the reverse (with a twist):

  1. In your main WorkFlowy document, place your cursor in a node you want to copy and hit Alt+Shift+D to duplicate (notice how the duplicate has a "#copy" tag). 

  2. Move the duplicate to a list in your left bar. You can star pages you want easier access to (to move lists to in this case)
