Keyboard shortcuts
Every key in TodoCity, from capture anywhere on your Mac to moving tasks in a list. Press ? to see them, and click a key to pick your own.
TodoCity has two kinds of keys. Some shortcuts work anywhere on your Mac, and others work in the task list. To see them all, press ? in TodoCity and the Keyboard shortcuts sheet opens.
