I have recently started to look into mylyn as a Bugzilla "client".
At first glance it looks exactly like what I want.
For one of my use-cases, I however did not succeed to find the right way
to do it efficiently and I cannot imagine that such a feature is missing.
The mentioned use case: get large list of new entries, go through them one
by one and quickly do some changes like "move to other component",
reassign, change target milestone, ...
So now here my questions:
1. Is there a way to edit many entries without submitting them and then at
the end submit them all at once (reason: submit takes some seconds and I
would love to switch quickly between current and next entry)?
2. Is there a shortcut for "submit, close tab and move to next entry in
list" (reason: see point "1.")
2a. Can submit run in the background so that switch to new task is still
fast and does not wait?
3. Are there keyboard shortcuts for navigating within the current tasks
tab, e.g. for going quickly to "next comment", to the "cc" field, to the
component list ...?
It would really be great if someone had some hints for me here ...
Best regards and thanks a lot in advance,
Markus

Hi Markus,
to add to this: I know that e.g. JIRA has the concept of bulk operations, i.e. doing one operation
on many selected items. This is not present in other task repositories, but would be a nice
"meta-feature" to be implemented by Mylyn.
What do you think?
Cheers, Jörg
