Keyboard shortcuts

Global

Key	Action
/	Focus the search box
q	Open the quick-add form
g then i	Go to Inbox
g then t	Go to Focus (today)
g then u	Go to Upcoming
?	Show and hide the shortcut cheatsheet

g opens a one-second window for its second key. Global shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in an input, a textarea, a select or any editable element, and any shortcut pressed with Ctrl, Cmd or Alt is left to the browser.

q expands the first quick-add form on the page. On a project page that is the project’s own add form; elsewhere it opens the Inbox quick-add dialog.

Dialogs and inline editors

Key	Action
Esc	Close the task view, the quick-add dialog, or cancel an inline rename
Tab / Shift+Tab	Cycle focus inside an open dialog. Focus is trapped and returns to where it was on close
Enter	Save an inline title, project name or section name
Esc	Leave selection mode

Task view

Control	Action
↑ / ↓ buttons in the header	Previous and next task, without closing

Drag and drop

Tasks, subtasks, sections, projects and calendar entries all drag.

Input	Activation
Mouse	5 px of movement (6 px in the sidebar)
Touch	Hold 250 ms, then move. A normal swipe still scrolls
Keyboard	Focus a project row’s drag handle and use the arrow keys

While dragging a task, horizontal movement changes nesting depth. It takes about three quarters of an indent to shift a level, so vertical drift never accidentally nests something. The dragged row itself indents to the depth it will land at, so what you see is where it goes.

Dragging is only enabled in a project’s Manual sort order. Under any other sort there is no manual position to write.
