Shortcuts

On Windows and Linux, use Ctrl instead of ⌘.

  • ⌘K: open the command palette to search your workspace, jump to any page or setting, or run an action.
  • ⌘N: Quick add a task.
  • ⌘Z: undo the last change, such as completing, deleting or moving tasks (not while typing in a field).
  • Esc: close a dialog or panel, or leave selection mode on the Files page.
  • In the assistant, Enter sends and Shift+Enter starts a new line.

Quick add shorthand

In Quick add, type dates and details straight into the title: “Pay invoice Friday 2pm #work @billing !high 30m” sets the due date and time, Area, tag, priority and estimate. The ? button lists everything it understands.
