Keyboard shortcuts

On a Mac keyboard, Command is ⌘, Shift is ⇧ and Control is ⌃. Delete means the backward-delete key (⌫).

In a task list

Select a task and press Return to edit it. Double-clicking does the same. Control-click a row for Edit, Change Status and Delete.

Task deletion has no confirmation

Command-Delete and the list’s Delete command permanently delete the selected task. There is no app-level undo or Trash for task deletion. See Tasks.

In a field or editor

• In quick-add, Return adds the task.
• In the task editor’s title field, Return saves; Escape cancels the sheet.
• In a goal editor’s name or target field, Return submits; Escape cancels.

Commands without a dedicated shortcut

Use Task > Mark As for an explicit status. Select a goal and use the Goal menu for Edit Goal, Toggle Completion or Increase Progress, Decrease Progress, and Remove Goal.

Clear Completed is in the File menu and toolbar More menu. Show Notes and Use Compact Rows are in the View menu and toolbar More menu. Commands that do not apply to the current view or selection are disabled.

The documentation website has its own search shortcut (Command-K); this is not a Tickoff app shortcut.
