Timebox or auto-schedule task during task creation with @
Raymond Todd
We can select the start date of a task by typing "@tomorrow" in a task's title, but it would be great if we could also timebox it at the same time.
For example, I could quickly create and timebox a task all at once by typing something like "@tomorrow1PM" during task creation.

Ability to add specific time in "Add task" modal
Alec Mekarzel
As a power-user, click-and-drag to calendar is cumbersome when I'm adding tasks on the go or via the "CMD-SHIFT-A" Add task modal.
Using the @ prefix doesn't allow for a time, only a date
- i.e. "4pm" or "Tomorrow 6pm" etc.
It would be great if the @ prefix allowed for both a time and day, using natural language (similar to Things).

This feature is sorely missed. There is a lot of friction right now while creating and scheduling a task, especially when I know when it needs to be done at the time of creation. For example:
Currently workflow:
Open Add Task modal > "Pick up laundry ~10min" > Open Sunsama > Find the task > Schedule task by dragging or "X" keyboard shortcut
All these steps could be reduced to:
Open Add Task modal > "Pick up laundry @5pm ~10min"

Yes, Todoist has this feature — just need to type something like "tomorrow 3pm for 1 hour" and it adds the task metadata. Easy.
