you can select tasks by:

  • single-clicking using the mouse
  • using the arrow keys
  • or vim movement keys (j/k)

you can undo/redo using familiar keys:

  • Ctrl-Z or u undo the last action
  • Ctrl-Shift-Z or U redo

currently, the undo stack does not persist across page loads, and the undo stack is only displayed in the developer console.


you can change a task's summary/name by double-clicking on it or with vim editing commands:

  • i/I to enter edit mode with the cursor at the start
  • A to enter edit mode with the cursor at the end
  • S to enter edit mode with the full summary selected

all of these put you into "insert mode". to leave insert mode, either click away from the editing to de-focus the text field, or press Escape or Ctrl-[.

you can add new tasks with these key commands:

  • o adds a new task after the selected task, ignoring the task's children.
  • O adds a new task before the selected task.
  • Enter adds a new task after the selected task. if the selected task already has children, the new task will be the new first child.
  • Alt-Enter adds a new task as a child of the selected task.

note that Enter and Alt-Enter both work while you're editing a task summary! this means that you can easily add a bunch of tasks in one go - just keep pressing Enter!

if you press Backspace or leave insert mode while a new task has an empty summary, the new task will be deleted. you can also delete the selected task by pressing Delete or Shift-Backspace.

you can manage tasks with these keys:

  • J moves the selected task up
  • K moves the selected task down
  • Tab nests the selected task in as a child of its sibling (it "indents")
  • Shift-Tab un-nests the selected task (it "un-indents")
  • - hides a task's children
  • = shows a task's children
  • . marks a task done
  • , marks a task un-done

you can change a task's exposition/description by double-clicking on it or pressing Shift+Enter with this task selected. markdown is supported both in the summary and exposition!

you can change a task's points with Shift-[1-9] or set it to 0 points with Shift-0.


you can change the task list view with the following keys:

  • 1 displays the task list
  • 2 displays a kanban board for re-arranging
  • 3 displays the current sprint board
