"Tab+N" our new shortcut to create Sections

@Paul_Reich

Sometimes, when I use TAB + N, it adds the section at the bottom of the task list, and then I need to move it around.

@Vince_Mustachio

Could it be the new Section shows up lower in the list, because now that Tasks belong to a Section. A new Section is created below an existing Section and it’s group of Tasks so as not to split up an existing group of Tasks in an existing Section?

Right, Vince - according to the Asana folks, a new section should always be created at the bottom of the current section, for the reason you say. Here’s the explanation:

@Matt_Bramlage

sections in list views have to act very like columns in a board view - and the Tab+N behavior is a result of us moving toward that world. For one example, ending a task in a board column with a colon doesn’t split off a new column which contains the tasks below the task with a colon. If you think about it, however, this is what has been happening in a list view–the new section suddenly takes ownership of all the tasks below it. This is why Tab+N creates a new (empty) section at the end of the current section - this is akin to what happens when creating a new empty column in a board view.
