I see in 4.2-beta there is an option to manually group task manager entries. Does anybody know how to do this? I have tried shift-clicking on multiple entires, ctrl-clicking on multiple entries, and dragging and dropping entries onto other entires. I can't seem to manually make two entries form a group. Has this feature even been implemented yet?

+1 I also tried and also could not affect manual grouping

you need to hold the Alt key when drag and dropping. i don't like this much; i've talked with the author about it and we'll be improving the usability of this at some point .. hopefully sooner rather than later ;)

Though I can now group I can't seem to select a member of the group and have it gain focus on the screen

Maybe a mention in the settings window noting the use of alt key would be useful

Well, years on, it still works as described here. Not ideal.
Just dragging entries onto each other would be nice.
