Keyboard shortcuts
Single-key navigation, ⌘ K to capture, ⌘ Z to undo. Press slash for the full cheat sheet, which is always the current list.
By ToDidIt Product TeamUpdated
Press / from anywhere to open the cheat sheet, or click the small launcher in the bottom-left corner. Cmd / and ? open it too. That sheet is generated from the same list the app binds, so it is never out of date, and everything below mirrors it.
Tip
Single-key shortcuts deliberately do nothing while you are typing in a field, so they can never eat a task name mid-sentence. ⌘ K is the exception, because a capture box that loses to the field you are in is one you stop trusting.
These are shown for the machine you are reading on, so a Windows reader sees Ctrl where a Mac reader sees the command key.
- ⌘ K open Quick Capture, even while you are typing elsewhere
- Shift ⌘ K start a new project
- ⌘ Z undo the last reversible action
- Shift T cycle light, dark and system themes
- Esc close a modal, or go back
A few only mean something while you are selecting.
- Shift click range-select tasks, from either the checkbox or the row
- swipe right select a task, on touch devices
- Esc clear the current selection

Quick Capture
⌘ K from anywhere opens a capture box that wins even while you are typing somewhere else. One field and Enter by default, with everything else a switch away.
Global search
One typeahead across tasks, projects, workspaces and people, spanning every workspace you belong to. Press s to focus it.
Undo
⌘ Z takes back the last reversible action for about six seconds. A toast offers the same thing with a button, for people who do not think in keyboard shortcuts.
Light, dark, and system themes
Three modes, switchable from the top bar or with Shift T, saved to your account so they follow you, and applied on the server so there is no flash of the wrong one.
Finding your way around
Five destinations, one top bar, and a set of single-key shortcuts that get you anywhere without the mouse. There is no sidebar to lose.
