Work faster with the keyboard

The few shortcuts that matter: add a task, search everything, hide the sidebar and close anything with Escape.

Jinnoro has a small set of shortcuts, on purpose. You can learn all of them in a minute, and the first three will change how you use the app.

Step 1

See the list

Press ? at any time to see the shortcuts, or click the keyboard icon at the bottom of the sidebar.

The keyboard shortcuts dialog: Q to quick add, Ctrl or Command plus K to search, [ to show or hide the sidebar, ? to show the list, Escape to close and Enter to submit
The whole list: six shortcuts

Step 2

Add a task with Q

Q opens Quick Add from any page. Type, press Enter, and you are back where you were.

Step 3

Find anything with Ctrl or ⌘ + K

Search finds tasks, projects and labels as you type, and opens the one you choose. Use the arrow keys to move through the results and Enter to open one.

Step 4

Hide the sidebar with [

When you want to focus on one list, press [ to hide the sidebar. Press it again to bring it back.

Step 5

Close and confirm

Esc closes any dialog or form, and Enter submits one. Together with Q, that is all you need to add a task without touching the mouse.

For what you can type inside Quick Add, see adding tasks fast with Quick Add.
