Thanks for confirming this as I didn't know if it was my config or something.

I'd like to add if possible, if there would the ability to restore the previously functionality of being able to just hit a number from 1 to 9 to set the priority of a task as well.

Didn't want to conflate things too much, but it would be great if there was a config option around this before I would have to make a workaround in Elisp instead.
