Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts let you run common actions without reaching for the mouse. They work throughout the app, wherever you are.

Global shortcuts

These are active whenever you are not typing in a field. Press a key on its own, or hold Shift for the paired action.

Key	Action
`N`	New Task (with a List open)
`Shift` + `N`	New List
`0`	Open Preferences
`1`	Switch between Private and Cowork
`2`	Collapse or expand the sidebar
`3`	Collapse or expand the List header
`4`	Switch between inline and full screen
`Shift` + `4`	Automatic window mode
`5`	Switch between dark and light
`Shift` + `5`	Match the page (automatic theme)

The 3 shortcut needs a List open, and N opens a new Task in the current List – in a board it adds to the open column.

When you add a Task, List, or checklist item, press Enter to add it, or Shift + Enter to add it and start another.
In the Markdown description and comment editors, press Ctrl + Enter (or Cmd + Enter) to save.
Press Esc to close an open dialog, menu, or preview.

The full list lives in Preferences, under Keyboard shortcuts. Open Preferences from the toolbar, or press 0 from anywhere you are not typing.
