Implement cut/copy/paste of tasks

Features & Improvements Request

The ability to select multiple tasks and then "cut" or "copy" them to the clipboard for pasting into, for example, a project or section would be ideal. Bonus points if you can also paste those tasks into a text editor or spreadsheet and get a decent representation of those tasks.

    Support Cut/Copy/Paste of any selection

    Please make it possible to cut/copy/paste list items — both within Akiflow and into other applications (e.g., should be able to select tasks and paste into notebpad or excel).

    Hi Catarina, thanks for your message! Why don't you drag and drop them? Thanks for your help:)

      Stefania: I meant, when we copy a task on the calendar view, it says “task title copied to the clipboard” , but then I can’t just paste it on another day. Sometimes I want the same task on 2 different days :)

      Catarina Mendes: To have a task on 2 different days you can easily duplicate it by holding option on mac or alt on windows and just move the task to the next place. Let me know if this works for you!

    Hi Matt, you can already assign a label to multiple selected tasks by opening the command bar and selecting "Assign label".

      Stefania: True. But often I want to paste them into a specifc section or I need to first view what else is inside the label and copy/paste would make this easier.
