Keyboard shortcuts
Everything here works from anywhere in the app, unless you are typing in a field.
⌘ is Ctrl on Windows and Linux.
| ⌘ K | Search everything and jump to it |
| C | New task |
| ? | Open the guide inside the app |
| Esc | Close the sheet, menu or palette |
| ⌘ ↵ | Create the task, or send the comment |
| ↑ ↓ | Move through the search results |
| Tab | Indent by two spaces in the editor |
Things that are not shortcuts but feel like them
Section titled “Things that are not shortcuts but feel like them”Typing in the quick-add box. The whole task fits on one line — see quick-add syntax. This is the one that saves the most time, and it is not a keystroke, it is a habit.
Pasting a screenshot. Into a comment, a chat message or a page. It uploads and downscales without a dialog.
Typing # in any editor. Offers projects and tasks to reference — projects first, then tasks,
matched on key, identifier or title.
Typing @ in any editor. Offers people.
Shift-clicking a second checkbox in a list takes the range.
Reaching everything without a mouse
Section titled “Reaching everything without a mouse”Every control has a name, every interactive thing is reachable by Tab, focus rings are visible, and the landmarks are real — which means a screen reader gets the structure rather than a wall of divs.
That is checked in a real browser rather than asserted about the source, because “it has an
aria-label somewhere” is a claim that has been wrong here before: the first run of that check
found forty-four problems, including the checkbox in front of every task.
