I really enjoy using Toodledo.
Its a great and necessary service.

I have several hundred task. In a busy work environment its tedious and time consuming to click on the trash can of on every single task you wish to delete and respond to the dialog. Is there a faster way to just click on multiple items at once and click delete?

regards,

I actually haven't got a solution for you but it might be a tad easier to do multiple deletions at once. Create a task named "Mass delete", then drag the tasks you'd like to delete, into the "Mass delete" task so they become sub tasks of "Mass delete", then check off the "Mass task" task. Now, if I understood Toodledo correctly, all the sub tasks would be deleted, not leaving a trace except for the "Mass delete" task which now is checked off.
I haven't actually tried it and it's a bit of an exploit that might have undesirable effects. Can't even tell you if it's faster to do it this way, but it is another way of doing it.
