TaskPaper 3: Focus on Next (or Previous) Project

Macro Library
,

A couple of keystrokes for TaskPaper 3 which 'hoist' (given full outline focus to) the next or previous project.

Focus on NEXT project.kmmacros (20.5 KB)

(The two scripts differ only in the arguments on the final lines, where two option choose between, prev/next, and hoist or simply move cursor)

            // one after or one before (down or up)
            return i !== -1 ? (

Updated above to Ver 0.3 for compatibility with some new API in TaskPaper 3 Preview build 168

Editability of the first post has expired, so here is an update, for the Release version of the TaskPaper 3 API.

The default setting is to 'focus' each successive or preceding project.
An option at the end of the script allows choice of an alternative 'hoisting' behaviour (project line not displayed, only its descendants).
