I’d be open for PRs adding more shortcuts. If there is a vote for more specific shortcuts we might add them to the roadmap as well.
Great. That’s encouraging to hear. I’m not a programmer and cannot make pull requests (assuming that is what PR means). I’d be happy to add suggestions for shortcuts that I’m personally missing in Vikunja though. Would that be helpful or is there another way someone like me can help? The ones above are the most important for me.
Sure, that would help. Voting for the features you’d like here in the forum is another way to make your requests heard.
I liked the top post, assuming that is what you mean by voting for the feature. I see some people replying here in the thread with a +1 which I assume means voting too, but I don’t think their counted.
EDIT: I see the vote button now.
You can already use
Ctrl+Kto open quick actions which allow you to create a task with quick add magic.
Sorry, how exactly is this done? I press CTRL+K and the command dialog opens, but I have no idea how to create a new task from there.
Please provide screenshot of command dialog
If you have the quick actions open, just type “new task” (or click on the entry in the list), press enter, then type the task title, press enter again.
Hmm, I think that may be the issue. I only show “New Team” as a command, and typing “new task” does nothing.
Ah, it seems to depend WHERE I am as to what available comments there are. I was doing this while viewing a Smart Filter. But if I go to a regular Project, then I see it. Is this intended behavior?
Yes that’s right. I remember fixing it on my local instance. That’s a bug.
Off-topic though
It is, because each task needs to be part of a project.
I would propose this as a solution (which would need to be implemented):
- If you’re in a project, create the new task there - if you have permission to do so
- If not, use the project which was set via quick add magic
- If none was set via quick add magic, use the default project
In any case, show the new task action always.
