With my proposition you could do "t_list @foo% myproject" to list all
tasks from myproject, grouped by keywords matching "@foo%". If you
wanted to list all tasks with one group per keyword, I think "t_list @%
myproject" would work.

Having the ability to specify a matching expression for keywords makes
it easier to do intelligent grouping if you organise your keywords in a
hierarchy. As I said before, you could group tasks by people with
"t_list @people%" for example. I think this would fit David use case better.

You mean the equivalent of t_list with no parameters? Would this be
really useful? Once you have many tasks, listing them without a criteria
 is useless I think.

Hehe :)
