task name edit
edit button for the task name instead of clicking the text of the task name. I often have long task names and trying to highlight the task instead of editing becomes more problematic the longer the name. I highlight a task much more often than I edit the name so an edit button in the same line instead of the text that makes the name.

Dwight, I would still use an edit button to change the text in the task name more. Currently I try to go left or right of the actual task and can highlight it the quickest using that. Even to the left of the check box will highlight it. I tried the right click to bring up the menu and it is more cumbersome for me than trying to miss the text. Like many programs part of it is developing the habits to use it which will happen the more I use it.
Overall I have found the program to be well thought out. I love the reopen! -

Hi, Mr. E - I understand that you want a button to put the task caption into edit more because the current method, clicking the caption, makes it too difficult to select and hioghlight the task caption without unintentionally initiating edit mode. Question: have you tried highlighting the caption as follows: (1) find the task caption at the top of the right sidebar (2) right-click anywhere on the text of the caption, in order to raise a context menu (3) from the context menu, slicvk on "select all"
This should highlight the caption in a fast and straightforward procedure. Having seen this, do you still need the button?
