Tasker, the port of NowDoThis, has been updated to a newer version.
Version 1.4, besides having cleaner, more readable source code, offers a major new feature: inline line breaks.
This was found to be an issue when writing a reasonably-long item of around 20 characters or more. While Tasker was designed with the intent of the user only entering a very short item, sometimes you need to be more verbose. This is what happened when I tried to add the item "go shopping with the others" to the list, this is what I got:
Obviously, the easy solution would be to resize the window to fit in the entire item, but: (a) it's not as convenient or quick; and (b) it's just not possible when you enter a really long item.
To add a pseudo line-wrap, just enter a double semi-colon when you want to add a line break. For example, the item above could be re-written to "go shopping ;; with the others". I know it looks weird, but it works well. This then translates into this:
Simple.
