When I move a task up or down, I expect it to remain at it's current level. If the task is at the bottom or top of it's level, I expect it to be stuck until I indent or un-indent it manually.
When I un-indent a task, I expect it to move a level up either above or below the task it was previously a sub-task of.
Currently, I keep wanting to move a single task out of a hierarchy and it winds up messing up the structure of everything around it. I have had to go back an restructure my project quite a few times due to accidental moves or moves that just don't seem intuitive to me.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
Missed that... thanks for the clarification

It would be great if there were a way to collapse all tasks. It takes so much time collapsing them one by one.

Hi Peggy, while I (and most, I suppose) appreciate the hacks you share with us, I hope the team is looking into ways to solve some unintuitive things. IMO there should be a person whose main job is just to isolate unintuitive behavior and work on solutions to improve it.

@keithhooley the OP is about keyboard navigation, not drag and drop.

Ever move layers around in Photoshop? When you have grouped layers, similar to nested tasks in Quire, it’s the same. Maybe it’s something im used to, but this behavior is expected. You just learn to be careful or collapse list.

+1 completely agree
When in root level the task should move up and down at root and only become a child-task when indented.
Q. When indented, it should become the child of the parent above it or below it?

Hi @mike-88 , thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, you won't be able to change this in the settings. I would suggest you collapse the root tasks before moving your subtask up or down. Another way is to Ctrl+X the task and Ctrl+V paste it outside of the original hierarchy. Hope this helps.
