4. Press Enter to save. Press Esc to cancel. An empty title is discarded.

Edit, split and note

• Select a task with the arrow keys and press Enter to edit the title. Press Enter again to save.
• Press Shift + Enter in the middle of a title to split it into two tasks at the cursor.
• Press Backspace at the very start of a title to merge it into the task above.
• Press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to open the note. Enter saves, Shift + Enter starts a new line, Esc closes.
• Press Cmd/Ctrl + Z to undo a title edit, Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z to redo.

Important and Urgent

Important means it moves your goals forward. Urgent means it has a deadline soon. A task can be neither, one of them, or both. The flags decide which Eisenhower box the task sits in.

Set a date and time

Press @ on a task to open the date and time picker. Use the arrow keys to move through days, [ and ] to change month, and Tab to switch between date, hour and minute. You can also drag a task onto a day in the Calendar drawer (press C to open it). A task dropped on a date without a time starts at 09:00.

Complete, restore and delete

• Tick the box, or press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X, to complete a task. Press the same keys again, or R, to restore it.
• Press Delete or Backspace to delete the selected task. An Undo button appears for a few seconds, and Cmd/Ctrl + Z also undoes it.
• Press H to show or hide completed tasks. They sit below the active ones.

Search and sort

Press Cmd/Ctrl + F to search tasks. Press Esc to clear. Press S to open the sort menu. You can combine these options:

• Manual (no sorting)
• Priority (Eisenhower box 1 to 4)
• Tasks with notes first
• Nearest date and time first

Dragging a task by its handle puts the list back to manual order.
