#1668: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed

When editing a task's description the cursor is not moved to the last character. The result is that when you want to add more to a description you end up accidently adding text to the beginning. It would be nice to have the cursor initialize at the end of the description so I can press the 'd' shortcut and automatically start typing to add to the end. Thanks.

Hi @no_char,

Thank you for your message. Actually, this is one of our specs. The reason is that if the description is too long, the cursor will be too far away. But I already let our tech team know about your suggestion! Thanks a lot.

@vicky_p Slack, Discord, and other popular messaging services that allow for comment/description edits all default to the opposite of what Quire does.

The cursor is placed at the end of a statement because adding it to the beginning is unnatural considering the context. It's less likely the user meant to edit something at the beginning and highly likely they made a mistake at the end and need to quickly edit it.
