Keyboard Shortcuts
AgenToDo is built for speed. Most actions have keyboard shortcuts, and many work as bare keys — no modifiers needed when you're not editing text. Learn these and you'll rarely touch the mouse.

Tab Navigation
When editing a task inline or in Quick Entry, Tab walks through every editable field. ⇧Tab goes backward. Fields cycle in order:

| Tab | Next field: title → tags → people → due date → project → estimate → notes → title |

Tips for Speed
- Bare keys are your best friend. When a task is selected (not being edited), single keys like Space, F, D, and T work instantly. No modifier gymnastics needed.
- Quick Open over clicking. ⌘O lets you jump to any project, tag, or area by typing a few characters. Faster than navigating the sidebar.
- Keyboard triage workflow: Use ↑/↓ to move through tasks, Space to complete, F to flag, D to drop. You can process an entire inbox in seconds.
- Reorder without drag. Select a task, then ⌘↑/⌘↓ to move it up or down in the list.
- Tab through fields. When editing a task, Tab cycles through every field (title, tags, people, due date, project, estimate, notes) so you never need to click between them.
