Keyboard shortcuts
Work faster with the keyboard

With the keyboard you can move and change tasks without the mouse. It is also an alternative to drag and drop.

First select a row: click it or move to it with Tab. The shortcuts then apply to the selected row. While you type in a field, for example when renaming, the keys do what they normally do in the field.

Move tasks

  • Alt+Shift+Up / Down arrow – move the task one step up or down.
  • Alt+Shift+Right arrow – move the task into the list above it.
  • Alt+Shift+Left arrow – move the task out of its list, right after the list.

Go between rows

  • Shift+Down / Up arrow – next or previous row.
  • Shift+Right arrow – open a list, or go to the first row of an open list.
  • Shift+Left arrow – close an open list, or go to the list the row is in.

Change the task

  • F2 – rename.
  • Enter or Alt+Shift+E – edit. There you set dates, list, context and tags.
  • Alt+Shift+I – mark as important, or remove the mark.
  • Alt+Shift+M – open the row's menu.
  • Delete – move to trash.

On a Mac the Alt key is called Option. If the keyboard has no Delete key, use Cmd+Backspace. All shortcuts are also listed under Help in the app.
